Microtensile bond strength of repaired indirect resin composite

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of surface treatments on microtensile bond strengths (MTBSs) of two types of indirect resin composites bonded to a conventional direct resin composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Indirect resin composite blocks of Ceramage and SR Nexco were prepared in a plastic mold having a dimension of 10 × 10 × 4 mm. These composite blocks were divided into three groups according to their surface treatments: Group1: Sandblast (SB); Group2: Sandblast and ultrasonically clean (SB+UL); Group3: Sandblast plus silane (SB+SI). After bonding with direct resin composite, indirect-direct resin composite blocks were kept in distilled water for 24 hours at 37℃ and cut into microbars with the dimension of 1 × 1 × 8 mm. Microbar specimens (n = 40 per group) were loaded using a universal testing machine. Failure modes and compositions were evaluated by SEM. The statistical analyses of MTBS were performed by two-way ANOVA and Dunnett's test at α = .05. RESULTS: Surface treatments and brands had effects on the MTBS without an interaction between these two factors. For SR Nexco, the MTBSs of SB and SB+SI group were significantly higher than that of SB+UL. For Ceramage, the MTBSs of SB and SB+SI were significantly higher than that of SB+UL. The mean MTBS of the Ceramage specimens was significantly higher than that of SR Nexco for all surface treatments. CONCLUSION: Sandblasting with or without silane application could improve the bond strengths of repaired indirect resin composites to a conventional direct resin composite.

Las 42 restantes después del almacenamiento en agua se sometieron al termociclado , se dividieron en dos subgrupos de 21, en relación a la ubicación de la fibra en la zona de compresión (CFTC) ó de tracción (CFTT); finalmente se dividió en tres grupos de 7, entonces Fibrex-Lab® conformó los grupos G9 - CFTCFLab y G12 - CFTTFLab, FibreKor® los grupos G10 - CFTCFKor y G13 - CFTTFKor y Vectris® los grupos G11 - CFTCVectris y G14 - CFTTVectris. Las muestras fueron sometidas a la prueba de flexión de tres puntos hasta su fractura, en maquina de pruebas universales (Shimadzu AGS-J) a una velocidad de 1mm/min. Los datos fueron recolectados, tabulados en hoja de cálculo y luego analizados con un estadístico de t de student....

The incorporation of reinforce fibers to composite has turned into an alternative of high conservative prosthetic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexure strength (RF) of a indirect reinforce composite using three fiber glass commercial brands, varying the location and submitted to physical o chemical aging. 98 specimen were made of 22 mm x 2 mm x 3 mm Gradia™ resin compound (GC-America Inc.); 14 samples were not reinforce with fiber glass (SF), They were store in distilled water for 60 days then divided in 2 groups of 7 samples, G1 - SFA and G2 - SFT was thermocycled (3000 cycles of 5 °/55°C in intervals of 1 min); the other 82 samples were reinforce with unidirectional fibers: 42 to be stored in distilled water for 60 days (CFA), divided in 2 subgroups of 21, in relation with the localization of the fiber on the compression zone (CFAC) or traction (CFAT); Finally divided in 3 groups of 7, depending on the brand; Fibrex-Lab® (Angelus) the groups G3 - CFACFLab and G6 - CFATFLab, FibreKor® (Jeneric/Penton) the groups G4 - CFACFKor and G7 - CFATFKor and Vectris® (Ivoclar/Vivadent) the groups G5 - CFACVectris and G8 - CFATVectris. The remaining 42 samples after storage in water were submitted to thermocycling, divided in 2 subgroups of 21, in relation with the localization of the fiber on the compression zone (CFTC) or traction (CFTT); Finally divided in 3 groups of 7 then G9 was conformed Fibrex-Lab® CFTCFLab and G12 - CFTTFLab, FibreKor® the groups G10 - CFTCFKor and G13 - CFTTFKor and Vectris® the groups G11 - CFTCVectris and G14 - CFTTVectris. The samples were submitted to the three points flexion test until fracture, in a universal testing machine (Shimadzu AGS-J) to a speed of 1mm/min. The information was gathered, tabulated in spreadsheet and then analyzed with a statistician t of student to determine differences between the groups without fibers and 3 factors ANOVA on the reinforced groups for the varying location...

The effect of various bonding systems on the microtensile bond strength of immediate and delayed dentin sealing / 대한치과보존학회지

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of various dentin bonding systems on microtensile bond strength of immediate dentin sealing (IDS) and delayed dentin sealing (DDS). Eighteen extracted permanent molars were used in this study. The teeth for DDS group were restored with a provisional restorations, and immersed in saline solution for 1 week, and divided into 3 subgroups according to various dentin bonding adhesives; SB subgroup (3 step total-etch adhesive), SE subgroup (2 step self-etch adhesive), XE subgroup (1 step self-etch adhesive). In IDS group, the teeth were divided into 3 subgroups, and applied with bonding adhesives as in DDS group. The teeth were restored with provisional restorations, and immersed in saline solution for 1 week. Indirect composite disc was cemented with resin cement, and all specimens were subjected to microtensile bond strength. The data were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Student t-test. The results were as follows: 1. The IDS group showed significantly higher microTBS than DDS group in 3 step total-etch and 2 step self-etch adhesive (p < 0.05). 2. In IDS and DDS group, 3 step total-etch adhesive showed the highest microTBS value, followed by 2 step self-etch, and 1 step self-etch adhesive. In IDS group, the microTBS value for 1 step self-etch adhesive was significantly different from those of the other subgroups (p < 0.05), and in DDS group, there were statistical differences in all subgroup (p < 0.05). 3. Failure modes of tested dentin bonding adhesives were mostly mixed failure and only 1 step self-etch adhesive showed adhesive failure.

Compatibility of self-etching dentin adhesives with resin luting cements / 대한치과보존학회지

This study was performed to investigate the compatibility between 4 dentin adhesives and 4 resin luting cements. Dentin adhesives used in this study were All-Bond 2 (Bisco Inc., Schaumbrug, IL, USA), Clearfil SE-Bond (Kuraray Medical Inc, Osaka, Japan), Prompt L-Pop (3M Dental Products, St. Paul, MN, USA), One-Up Bond F (Tokuyama corp., Tokyo, Japan). Resin luting cements used in this study were Choice (Bisco Inc., Schaumbrug, IL, USA), Panavia F (Kuraray Medical Inc, Osaka, Japan), RelyX ARC (3M Dental Products, St. Paul, MN, USA), Bistite II DC (Tokuyama corp., Tokyo, Japan). Combination of each dentin adhesive and corresponding resin cement was made to 16 experimental groups. Flat dentin surfaces was created on mid-coronal dentin of extracted mandibular third molars, then dentin surface was polished with 320-grit silicon carbide abrasive papers. Indirect resin composite block (Tescera, Bisco) was fabricated. Its surface for bonding to tooth was polished with silicon carbide abrasive papers. Each dentin adhesive was treated on tooth surface and resin composite overlay were luted with each resin cement. Each bonded specimen was poured in epoxy resin and sectioned occluso-gingivally into 1.0 mm thick slab, then further sectioned into 1.0 x 1.0 mm2 composite-dentin beams. Microtensile bond strength was tested at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min. The data were analysed by one-way ANOVA and Duncan's multiple comparison tests. The results of this study were as follows; 2-step self-etching dentin adhesive which has additional bonding resin is more compatible than 1-step self-etching dentin adhesive.
