Influence of etching Mode and composite type on bond strength to biodentine using a ''No-Wait'' universal adhesive / Influencia del modo de grabado y del tipo de resina en la resistencia adhesiva al Biodentine utilizando un adhesivo universal tipo "no-wait"

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of four resin-based composite materials to a silicate-based cement using a ''no-wait'' universal bond with self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) modes. Acrylic blocks (n=80, 2mm depth, 5mm diameter central hole) were prepared. The holes were filled with BiodentineTM (BD) and divided into 4 main groups (n=20) according to the composite resin type used: Group FZ250: FiltekTM Z250 Universal Restorative (microhybrid), Group SDR: SDR Plus U Bulk Fill Flowable (low-viscosity bulk-fill), Group FBP: FiltekTM Bulk Fill Posterior (high-viscosity bulk-fill), Group EF: EsFlow™ Universal Flowable Composite (nanohybrid). A 'no-wait' universal bond (Clearfil Universal Bond Quick) was used for bonding application. Then each group was divided into 2 subgroups according to the etching mode applied (ER and SE). SBSs were measured and stereomicroscope was used to identify the failure modes. Selected samples of fracture surfaces were imaged by SEM. Tukey's post-hoc and One-way ANOVA tests were used to analyze data. There were statistically significant differences among the composite groups (p 0.05). The SBS of BD to the resin composites depends on the composite type but application of the 'no-wait' universal bond in different etching modes is regardless of the SBS of BD to resin composites.

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la resistencia de adhesión al cizallamiento (SBS) de cuatro resinas con un cemento a base de silicato utilizando una adhesivo universal "no-wait" de autograbado (SE) y grabado y lavado (ER). Se prepararon bloques acrílicos (n=80, de 2mm de profundidad y un agujero central de 5mm de diámetro). Los agujeros se rellenaron con BiodentineTM (BD) y se dividieron en 4 grupos principales (n=20) según el tipo de resina compuesta utilizada: Grupo FZ250: FiltekTM Z250 Universal Restorative (microhíbrido), Grupo SDR: SDR Plus U Bulk Fill Flowable (bulk-fill de baja viscosidad), Grupo FBP: FiltekTM Bulk Fill Posterior (bulk-fill de alta viscosidad), Grupo EF: EsFlow™ Universal Flowable Composite (nanohíbrido). Para la aplicación de la adhesión se utilizó un adhesivo universal "no-wait" (Clearfil Universal Bond Quick). A continuación, cada grupo se dividió en 2 subgrupos según el modo de grabado aplicado (ER y SE). Se midieron los SBS y se utilizó el estereomicroscopio para identificar los modos de fallo. Las muestras seleccionadas de las superficies de fractura se analizaron mediante SEM. Se utilizaron las pruebas post-hoc de Tukey y ANOVA de una vía para analizar los datos. Hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos de composites (p0,05). La SBS de la BD a los composites de resina depende del tipo de composite, pero la aplicación de la unión universal "no-wait" en los diferentes modos de grabado es independiente de la SBS de la BD a los composites de resina.

Research progress on the factors influencing the bonding effect of universal adhesives on tooth tissues / 口腔疾病防治

@#Universal adhesives have been widely used in dentistry due to their easy application process and wide range of applications. In the literature, the etching modes of universal adhesives, coating methods of universal adhesives, pretreatment of adhesive, and other factors were reported to have an impact on the bonding performance of universal adhesives. This review focused on the factors affecting the bonding performance of universal adhesives and aimed to provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice. Current research suggests that the etch-and-rinse mode can achieve a better adhesive strength of enamel and that the etch-and-rinse mode and the self-etch mode exhibit a similar adhesive performance in bonding dentin. The bond strength would be improved by prolonging the application time, applying a double layer of adhesives, and wetting enamel and dentin with water or ethanol before adhesive procedures. Chlorohexidine (0.2%) and metal nanoparticles can inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and improve the long-term bond strength of dentin. Finally, universal adhesives have excellent stability and saliva pollution resistance, although they lack blood pollution resistance. In the clinic, dentists should pay attention to the etching modes of universal adhesives, coating methods of universal adhesives, pretreatment of adhesive, and other factors that may affect the effect strength. universal adhesives will be improved in bonding strength of enamel in self-etch mode and bonding performance in demineralized dentals around caries.

Adhesión a dentina parte I: características del sustrato y sistemas adhesivos / Dentin bonding part I: substrate characteristics and bonding systems

La Odontología Restauradora contemporánea no puede concebirse sin la adhesión de los materiales restauradores a las estructuras dentarias. En mu-chos procedimientos restauradores, no sólo el esmal-te sino también la dentina se encuentra involucrada, por lo tanto, la adhesión a esta última juega un rol cla-ve en el éxito clínico. No obstante, todavía supone un gran desafío lograr una adhesión estable y predeci-ble en el tiempo. El propósito del presente artículo es analizar las características principales de la dentina como sustrato adhesivo y describir los sistemas ad-hesivos actuales y sus mecanismos de acción (AU)

Contemporary Restorative Dentistry cannot be conceived without the adhesion of restorative materials to dental structures. In many restorative procedures not only the enamel, but also the dentin is involved, therefore dentin bonding plays a key role in their success. However, it is still a great challenge to achieve stable and predictable dentin bonding over time. The aim of this article is to analyze the main characteristics of dentin as an adhesive substrate and to describe current adhesive systems and their bonding mechanisms (AU)

Evaluation of enamel roughness after the removal of brackets bonded with different materials: In vivo study

Abstract The aims of this in vivo study were to evaluate the effect of bonding with resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) and to assess enamel surface roughness before and after the removal of brackets bonded with composite or RMGIC from the maxillary central incisors. Fifteen orthodontic patients were selected for the study. For each patient, the teeth were rinsed and dried, and brackets were bonded with composite (Transbond XT) and RMGIC (Vitremer Core Buildup/Restorative). At the conclusion of orthodontic treatment, their brackets were removed. Dental replicas were made of epoxy resin in initial conditions (before bonded) and after polishing with an aluminum oxide disc system. Adhesive remnant index (ARI) and surface roughness was measured on the dental replicas and data were evaluated statistically by Mann-Whitney and paired t-test, respectively. No bracket debonding occurred during patients' treatment periods. It was verified that the ARI values of the two maxillary central incisors were similar (p = 0.665). For both bonding materials, the ARI value of 3 was predominant. After polishing, surface roughness was similar in the composite and RMGIC groups (0.245 μm and 0.248 μm, respectively; p = 0.07). In both groups, enamel surface roughness values were significantly lower after polishing compared with the initial condition (p < 0.001). RMGIC promoted efficiency in cementing brackets without fail during treatment; the choice of composite or RMGIC materials was not a factor that influenced the roughness of the enamel surface, however, polishing led to smoother surfaces than those found at the beginning of the treatment.

Resumo Os objetivos deste estudo in vivo foram avaliar o efeito da colagem com cimento de ionômero de vidro modificado por resina (CIVMR) e a rugosidade da superfície do esmalte antes e após a remoção dos braquetes colados com compósito ou CIVMR em incisivos centrais superiores. Quinze pacientes ortodônticos foram selecionados para o estudo. Para cada paciente, os dentes foram lavados e secos, e os braquetes colados com compósito (Transbond XT) e CIVMR (Vitremer Core Buildup / Restorative). Ao término do tratamento ortodôntico, os braquetes foram removidos. As réplicas dentais foram confeccionadas em resina epóxica nas condições iniciais (antes da colagem) e após o polimento com sistema de discos de óxido de alumínio. O índice de remanescente adesivo (IRA) e a rugosidade da superfície foram mensurados nas réplicas dentais e os dados foram avaliados estatisticamente por Mann-Whitney e teste t pareado, respectivamente. Não ocorreu descolagem de braquetes durante os períodos de tratamento dos pacientes. Verificou-se que os valores do IRA dos dois incisivos centrais superiores foram semelhantes (p = 0,665). Para ambos os materiais de colagem, o valor de IRA predominante foi 3. Após o polimento, a rugosidade da superfície do esmalte foi semelhante nos grupos compósito (0,245 μm) e CIVMR (0,248 μm) (p = 0,07). Em ambos os grupos, os valores de rugosidade da superfície do esmalte foram significativamente menores após o polimento em comparação com a condição inicial (p <0,001). CIVMR promoveu eficiência na colagem de braquetes sem falhas durante o tratamento; a escolha dos materiais compósito ou CIVMR não foi um fator que influenciou na rugosidade da superfície do esmalte, porém, o polimento levou a superfícies mais lisas do que as encontradas no início do tratamento.

Bonding performance of self-etch adhesives to enamel bleached with different peroxide concentrations

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the micro-shear bond strength (µSBS) of one and two steps self-etch adhesive systems after enamel bleaching with photo-activated bleaching systems of different hydrogen peroxide (HP) concentration. Occlusal enamel of forty intact human molars were flattened and assigned into four groups. GI Unbleached, GII, GIII, and GIV were bleached with Pyrenees (3.5% HP), GC TiON (20% HP), and Hi-Lite (35% HP) respectively. Enamel treatment with one and two steps self-etch adhesives (Clearfil S3 Bond- S3, and Clearfil SE Bond-SE) then micro-tubes were fixed on enamel and filled with AP-X composite (n=5). Bond was tested with the universal testing machine. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests at 5 % level of significance. The µSBS was significantly different between adhesives (F=154.46; p<0.05) and bleaching systems (F=77.33; p<0.05) with significant interaction. Specimens bonded with S3 shows a significantly lower μSBS than those bonded with SE (p<0.05) in all groups. For both adhesives the bleached groups demonstrate lower µSBS than unbleached except specimens bleached with Pyrenees and bonded with SE (p>0.05). A significant difference was observed between groups of the bleaching systems (p<0.05). Different peroxide concentrations photo-activated bleaching systems adversely affect μSBS of one and two steps self-etch adhesives. Low concentration system (Pyrenees) does not influence the bond strength of two steps adhesive.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resistência ao cisalhamento (µSBS) de sistemas auto-adesivos de um e dois passos após clareamento do esmalte com sistemas de clareamento foto-ativados de diferentes concentrações de peróxido de hidrogênio (HP). O esmalte oclusal de quarenta molares humanos intactos foi aplainado e atribuído em quatro grupos. GI Unbleached, GII, GIII, e GIV foram branqueados com Pyrenees (3,5% HP), GC TiON (20% HP), e Hi-Lite (35% HP) respectivamente. Tratamento de esmalte com adesivos de um e dois passos auto-adesivos (Clearfil S3 Bond- S3, e Clearfil SE Bond-SE), depois os microtubos foram fixados no esmalte e preenchidos com composto AP-X (n=5). A resistência ao cisalhamento foi testada com a máquina universal de testes. Os dados foram analisados usando os testes de ANOVA e Tukey de duas vias a um nível de 5% de significância. O µSBS foi significativamente diferente entre adesivos (F=154,46; p<0,05) e sistemas de clareadores (F=77,33; p<0,05) com interação significativa. Os espécimes colados com S3 mostram um μSBS significativamente inferior aos colados com SE (p<0,05) em todos os grupos. Para ambos os adesivos, os grupos clareados demonstram µSBS inferiores aos não clareados exceto os espécimes clareados com Pyrenees e colados com SE (p>0,05). Foi observada uma diferença significativa entre os grupos dos sistemas de clareamento (p<0,05). Diferentes concentrações de peróxidos foto-ativados nos sistemas de clareamento afetam negativamente μSBS dos adesivos de uma e duas etapas de auto-colagem. O sistema de baixa concentração (Pyrenees) não influenciou a resistência ao cisalhamento do adesivo de duas etapas.

Effect of two hemostatic agents on the bonding strength of total-etch and self-etch adhesive systems in primary tooth dentin / 口腔疾病防治

Objective @#To explore the effects of two hemostatic agents on the bonding strength of different bonding systems in primary tooth dentin.@*Methods @# Seventy-two retained deciduous teeth were randomly selected. Forty-eight teeth were used to construct the microleakage model, the other 24 teeth were cut along the mesial and distal directions and 48 samples were obtained to construct the shear bond strength model. The two experiments were divided into 2 groups. Group A was the total-etch group: A1 (ViscoStat + Spectrum Bond NT); A2 (ViscoStat Clear + Spectrum Bond NT); and A3 (Non + Spectrum Bond NT); Group B was the self-etch group: B1 (ViscoStat + Single bond Universal Adhesive); B2 (ViscoStat Clear + Single bond Universal Adhesive); and B3 (Non + Single bond Universal Adhesive). Microleakage experiments and shear bond strength experiments were carried out respectively and the morphology of the fracture surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy.@* Results @#There was no significant difference in microleakage among groups A1, A2, and A3 (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in microleakage among groups B1, B2, and B3 (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the shear bond strength among groups A1, A2 and A3 (P > 0.05). The shear bond strength of groups B1 and B2 was significantly lower than that of group B3 (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between groups B1 and B2 (P > 0.05). @*Conclusion@#ViscoStat and ViscoStat Clear had no effect on the marginal integrity of deciduous tooth dentin under the different bonding systems. The two hemostatic agents reduced the shear bonding strength of deciduous tooth dentin under the self-etch adhesive system, but had no effect on the shear bonding strength of deciduous tooth dentin under the total-etch adhesive system.

Evaluation of internal adaptation of flowable and bulk-fill resin-based composites

@#This study aimed to evaluate and compare the internal adaptation of bulk-fill resin-based composite restorative materials with flowable composites as lining materials using self-etch adhesive system. Class I cavities (2mmx4mm) were prepared on flattened occlusal surfaces of fifty extracted human premolars and randomly assigned into five groups (n=10) according to the materials used: Beautifil Bulk-fill Restorative (BR); Beautifil Bulk-fill Flowable (BF); Beautifil Flow Flowable F10 (BF10); and Self-etch adhesive (SEA). Group A: SEA+BR; Group B: SEA+BF10+BR; Group C: SEA+BF+BR; Group D: SEA+BF10+SEA+BR and Group E: SEA+BF+SEA+BR. The samples were thermocycled for 500 cycles, then sectioned mesiodistally, polished and pre-treated prior to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) evaluation. From SEM images, measurement of adhesive and cohesive adaptation failures was recorded at multiple sites of the pulpal floor and in between materials. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey tests (p<0.05). Cohesive failure in SEA was observed at the pulpal floor with the lowest percentage in Group A (5.14%), and highest in Group C and E (>16%). However, there were no significant difference among all groups. Adhesive failure was seen at the pulpal floor between SEA+BF/BF10/BR and between SEA+dentine with the highest percentage of gaps formed in Group A between SEA+dentine (6.62%) and SEA+BR (5.30%). Nonetheless, no significant differences were observed among all groups with p=0.89 and p=0.70, respectively. With the use of BF/BF10 at the pulpal floor, adhesive failure was reduced but resulted in increased of cohesive failure. However, both adaptation failures were absent between materials (BF/BF10 and BR) regardless with or without application of SEA.

Durabilidade da união à dentina e liberação de cálcio promovidas por sistemas adesivos experimentais com adição de hidróxido de cálcio / Durability of the bond to dentin and calcium release promoted by experimental adhesive systems with the addition of calcium hydroxide

Objetivo: Este estudo investigou a liberação de cálcio (CaR) e estabilidade de adesão à dentina em longo prazo (DBS) de sistemas adesivos autocondicionantes experimentais contendo hidróxido de cálcio. Metodologia: Quatro sistemas adesivos foram formulados incluindo monômeros UDMA, HEMA, GDMA-P, TPO e difenil iodônio como sistema fotoiniciador, e etanol / água como solvente com diferentes frações de massa de hidróxido de cálcio: 0% (controle), 1%, 2% e 4%. O DBS foi medido pelo método de microtração de resistência de união em máquina de ensaio de microtração. O terço médio da dentina de 24 terceiros molares humanos (n = 6) foi usado para unir os sistemas adesivos a uma resina composta. Amostras em forma de palitos (1 mm2 ) foram obtidas após 24 horas de imersão em água destilada e testadas imediatamente e após 12 meses de armazenamento em água. Os dados foram avaliados estatisticamente por meio de ANOVA de dois fatores e pós-teste de Tukey (p <0,05). O CaR foi avaliado por meio de espectrofotômetro. Os espécimes em discos (6,0 mm de diâmetro x 0,3 mm de espessura) foram produzidos (n = 4) e imersos em água destilada. A concentração de cálcio foi medida após 3 h até 168 h. Resultados: Para DBS, os sistemas adesivos contendo 0%, 1% e 4% de hidróxido de cálcio apresentaram médias estatisticamente semelhantes entre os pontos de tempo imediato (24h) e 12 meses. O sistema adesivo contendo 2% de hidróxido de cálcio apresentou resistência de união estatisticamente maior em 12 meses (p = 0,001). Nenhum material liberou cálcio até 168 h após a fotoativação. Conclusão: A inclusão de hidróxido de cálcio a 2% resultou na melhora da durabilidade de união à dentina a longo prazo. No entanto, a inclusão de hidróxido de cálcio aos sistemas adesivos experimentais testados não foi capaz de liberar cálcio (AU).

Objective: This study investigated the calcium release (CaR) and long-term dentin bonding stability (DBS) of experimental self-etching adhesive systems containing calcium hydroxide. Methodology: Four adhesive systems were formulated including UDMA, HEMA, GDMA-P, TPO and diphenyl iodonium monomers as photoinitiator system, and ethanol/water as solvent with different mass fractions of calcium hydroxide: 0% (control), 1%, 2% and 4%. DBS was measured by the microtensile bond strength method in a microtensile testing machine. The middle third of dentin from 24 human third molars (n = 6) was used to bond the adhesive systems to a composite resin. Stick-shaped samples (1 mm2) were obtained after 24 hours of immersion in distilled water and tested immediately and after 12 months of storage in water. Data were statistically evaluated using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-test (p < 0.05). CaR was evaluated using a spectrophotometer. Disc specimens (6.0 mm in diameter x 0.3 mm thick) were produced (n = 4) and immersed in distilled water. Calcium concentration was measured after 3 h to 168 h. Results: For DBS, adhesive systems containing 0%, 1% and 4% calcium hydroxide had statistically similar means between the immediate time points (24h) and 12 months. The adhesive system containing 2% calcium hydroxide had a statistically higher bond strength in 12 months (p = 0.001). No material released calcium up to 168 h after photoactivation. Conclusion: The inclusion of 2% calcium hydroxide resulted in improved long-term bond strength to dentin. However, the inclusion of calcium hydroxide in the experimental adhesive systems tested was not able to release calcium (AU).

Comparison of the interdiffusion of four self-etching adhesives in resin-aged glass-fiber-reinforced composites / 口腔疾病防治

Objective@#To observe the permeability of four kinds of self-etching adhesives in aged glass-fiber-reinforced composite (GFRC).@*Methods@#After light polymerization following the manufacturers’ instructions, a total of 80 pieces of bisphenol-A-glycodal-methacrylate (Bis-GMA)+ polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) based GFRC were randomly divided into two main groups: test group and control group, each group was then divided into four subgroups with 10 samples for each subgroup. While the test group was conducted to be aged through thermocycling at 5 ℃/55 ℃, the control group remained fresh. After the addition of a fluorescent dye (rhodamine-B-isothiocyanate), four self-etching adhesives AdperEasy One (AEO), S 3 BOND (S 3B), Tetric N-Bond Self-Etch (TNB), G-Bond (GB) were correspondently applied to the test and control groups and were light polymerized. Specimens were sectioned using hard tissue cutting and grinding system. Slices from each subgroup were observed under a confocal laser scanning microscope, the depth of dye permeation (DDP) under the surface of GFRC in each group was measured and the Results were statistically analyzed.@*Results@#The DDP of AEO was the deepest (32.58 ± 6.06) μm, and that of TNB was the shallowest (6.19 ± 1.38)μm among the four self-etching adhesive subgroups in the control group. The order of each group was AEO > GB > S 3B > TNB. The DDP of the four subgroups in the test group was significantly shallower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The change in GB was the greatest (9.05 ± 2.35)μm/(28.93 ± 5.32)μm. In the test group, the DDP in AEO was the deepest (28.42 ± 5.32)μm, and the DDP in TNB was shallowest (1.93 ± 0.22)μm again. The order of each group was AEO > S 3B > GB > TNB. In the test group, while the layer of fluorescent dye of AEO and S 3 B could still be seen distinctly, that of TNB and GB was hard to recognize. @*The DDP of AEO was the deepest (32.58 ± 6.06) μm, and that of TNB was the shallowest (6.19 ± 1.38)μm among the four self-etching adhesive subgroups in the control group. The order of each group was AEO > GB > S 3B > TNB. The DDP of the four subgroups in the test group was significantly shallower than that in the control group (P < 0.05).

Effect of nano-hydroxyapatite containing desensitizers on dentin bonding performance of self-etch adhesive / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Objective: To evaluate the dentinal tubular occlusion of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) containing desensitizers and their influence on the dentin bonding performance of self-etch adhesive. Methods: Mid-coronal dentin specimens were prepared from 48 intact human third molars. They were immersed in 10 g/L of citric acid for 20 s to simulate sensitive teeth, and randomly divided into four groups. The control group received no desensitizing treatment. Three experimental groups were treated with two commercial nHAp containing desensitizing toothpastes (Biorepair and Dontodent) and an experimental pure nHAp paste, respectively. The effect of desensitizers on dentinal tubular occlusion was observed by the field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Each group was further bonded with Futurabond NR. The micro-tensile bond strength was tested and failure mode distribution was analyzed. Moreover, resin infiltration of the adhesive was evaluated under confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Results: FESEM revealed that all the desensitizers noticeably occluded the dentinal tubules. After application for 7 days, the penetration depth of desensitizing particles was obviously increased and the extent of occlusion was completer. The micro-tensile bond strength test showed no significant differences in bonding strength among the three desensitization groups and control group (P>0.05). CLSM demonstrated the similar morphology of resin tags was produced in the desensitized groups and control group. Conclusion: Nano-hydroxyapatite containing desensitizers could occlude dentinal tubules effectively. Meanwhile, the application of these nHAp desensitizers has no adverse effect on resin infiltration and dentin bond strength of Futurabond NR self-etch adhesive

Effects of three self-etch adhesives and mild salivary contamination on the bonding durability of deciduous teeth / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the bonding durability of three different self-etch adhesives to primary enamel and dentin, and to investigate the effect of mild salivary contamination followed by air drying on the bonding durability.@*METHODS@#Two hundred and forty enamel specimens were divided randomly into 16 groups (n=15/group)according to the adhesive system [self-etch adhesives: Clearfil SE Bond(SE), AdperTM Easy One (EO), Scotchbond Universal (SBU); total-etch adhesive: AdperTM Single Bond Plus(SL)], contamination status (non-contaminated vs. salivary-contaminated) and storage condition (stored in distilled water for 24 h vs. aging mode 5 000 thermal cycles in 5 ℃ and 55 ℃). Two hundred and forty dentin specimens were assigned in the same way. Shear bond strength for 12 specimens in each group were measured. The adhesive interface for the residual specimens in each group was observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Data were analyzed by three-way analysis of variance and Tukey test(P < 0.05).@*RESULTS@#For primary enamel, total-etch adhesive showed higher initial shear bond strength values (28.92±1.83) MPa and shear bond strength values (27.27±3.03) MPa after thermal cycles compared with the other groups, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01). Shear bond strength values of EO decreased significantly in salivary-treated groups, regardless of storage conditions, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). For primary dentin, shear bond strength values of EO decreased significantly in salivary-treated groups after 24 h (P < 0.01). After 5 000 thermal cycles, total-etch adhesive showed significantly lower shear bond strength values (14.31±1.97) MPa compared with the other groups, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01), and shear bond strength values of EO were significantly lower than those in SE and SBU groups (P < 0.01), regardless of contamination status.@*CONCLUSION@#Total-etch adhesive SL has better bonding durability to primary enamel. SE and SBU have better bonding durability to primary dentin and have a certain resistance to salivary contamination, while the bonding performance of EO is compromised greatly by mild salivary contamination followed by air drying.

Shear Bond Strength and Failure Mode of Different Dental Adhesive Systems

@#The study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and to analyse the failure mode at the resindentine interface of different dental adhesive systems. A total of 75 sound premolar teeth were selected and randomly assigned into five different adhesive groups (n=15): OptiBond Solo (OBS, total-etch), OptiBond Versa (OBV, two-bottles, self-etch), Adhe SE Ivoclar (ADHE, two-bottles, self-etch), G-Bond (GB, one-bottle, selfetch), and OptiBond All in One (OBO, one-bottle, self-etch). The occlusal surface of each tooth was flattened and composite resin cylinder (4x2 mm) was built up on the flat dentine surface using a custom made mould. The specimens were then subjected to 500 thermal cycles between 5 °C and 55 °C and dwell time of 20s. The SBS test was conducted using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett T3 Test. Failure mode was determined as adhesive, cohesive or mixed mode using a stereomicroscope and the data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test. The total-etch (OBS) had significantly higher value of SBS than the two self-etch (ADHE and GB) adhesive systems. Within the self-etch systems, OBV showed significantly higher SBS value compared to ADHE and GB. There were no statistically significant differences between types of failure mode (p > 0.05) and adhesive group. It can be concluded that the different compositions in the self-etch adhesive materials may contribute to the different SBS value. The failure modes detected within all tested groups did not show clinically important differences

Comparative Evaluation Of Different Placement Techniques Of Composite Resin And Different Bonding Agents On Marginal Leakage In Class V Tooth Preparation: An In Vitro Study

An in vitro study was conducted to compare microleakage in nanohybrid composite restorations in Class V cavities using total etch and self-etch adhesives and two different horizontal layering techniques. Cavities were made on buccal and lingual surfaces of forty extracted premolar teeth and divided into groups A and B containing buccal surface cavities treated with total etch adhesive system and lingual surface cavities treated with Single step adhesive respectively. Cavities were restored using nanohybrid composite and randomly divided into four subgroups depending on incremental technique used. Specimens were then immersed in methylene blue dye for 24 hours and analysed under stereomicroscope for dye penetration. Results indicated microleakage with all groups with total etch group showing superior results than self etch group and group in which occlusal increment was placed first showing superior results than group with gingival increment placed first.

Shear Bond Strength Comparison of Different Adhesive Systems to Calcium Silicate-based Materials / 대한소아치과학회지

The aim of this study was to measure the shear bond strength (SBS) of different adhesive systems to calcium silicate-based materials (Biodentine and RetroMTA). Eighty cylindrical acrylic blocks, with a hole (5.0 mm diameter, 2.0 mm height) in each, were prepared. The holes were filled with Biodentine (BD) and RetroMTA (RMTA), and the specimens were divided into 2 groups. Each group was classified into 4 subgroups: Clearfil™ SE (CSE) ; AQ bond (AQ) ; All bond universal Self-etch (ABU-SE) ; and All bond universal Total-etch (ABU-TE). After the application of different adhesive systems, composite resin (Z350) was applied over BD and RMTA. The SBS was measured using a universal testing machine, and the data were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test. The highest and lowest values of SBS were observed for BD-ABU-SE and RMTA-AQ, respectively. No significant differences were found in the SBS between ABU-TE and ABU-SE and between ABU-TE and CSE to BD and RMTA. According to the data, BD showed a higher SBS than did RMTA when BD and RMTA are compared in the same adhesive agents. Further, among all groups, composite resin with ABU-SE showed better bond strength to BD and RMTA.

Effect of smear layer deproteinization on bonding of self-etch adhesives to dentin: a systematic review and meta-analysis

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this systematic review was to critically analyze previously published studies of the effects of dentin surface pretreatment with deproteinizing agents on the bonding of self-etch (SE) adhesives to dentin. Additionally, a meta-analysis was conducted to quantify the effects of the above-mentioned surface pretreatment methods on the bonding of SE adhesives to dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An electronic search was performed using the following databases: Scopus, PubMed and ScienceDirect. The online search was performed using the following keywords: ‘dentin’ or ‘hypochlorous acid’ or ‘sodium hypochlorite’ and ‘self-etch adhesive.’ The following categories were excluded during the assessment process: non-English articles, randomized clinical trials, case reports, animal studies, and review articles. The reviewed studies were subjected to meta-analysis to quantify the effect of the application time and concentration of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) deproteinizing agents on bonding to dentin. RESULTS: Only 9 laboratory studies fit the inclusion criteria of this systematic review. The results of the meta-analysis revealed that the pooled average microtensile bond strength values to dentin pre-treated with deproteinizing agents (15.71 MPa) was significantly lower than those of the non-treated control group (20.94 MPa). CONCLUSIONS: In light of the currently available scientific evidence, dentin surface pretreatment with deproteinizing agents does not enhance the bonding of SE adhesives to dentin. The HOCl deproteinizing agent exhibited minimal adverse effects on bonding to dentin in comparison with NaOCl solutions.

Effect of nanotechnology in self-etch bonding systems on the shear bond strength of stainless steel orthodontic brackets

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of silica dioxide (SiO2) nanofillers in different bonding systems on shear bond strength (SBS) and mode of failure of orthodontic brackets at two experimental times. Methods: Ninety-six intact premolars were divided into four groups: A) Conventional acid-etch and primer Transbond XT; B) Transbond Plus self-etch primer; and two self-etch bonding systems reinforced with silica dioxide nanofiller at different concentrations: C) Futurabond DC at 1%; D) Optibond All-in-One at 7%. Each group was allocated into two subgroups (n = 12) according to experimental time (12 and 24 hours). SBS test was performed using a universal testing machine. ARI scores were determined under a stereomicroscope. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to determine the size and distribution of nanofillers. One-way ANOVA was used to compare SBS followed by the post-hoc Tukey test. The chi-square test was used to evaluate ARI scores. Results: Mean SBS of Futurabond DC and Optibond All-in-One were significantly lower than conventional system, and there were no significant differences between means SBS obtained with all self-etch bonding systems used in the study. Lower ARI scores were found for Futurabond DC and Optibond All-in-One. There was no significant difference of SBS and ARI obtained at either time points for all bonding systems. Relative homogeneous distribution of the fillers was observed with the bonding systems. Conclusion: Two nanofilled systems revealed the lowest bond strengths, but still clinically acceptable and less adhesive was left on enamel. It is advisable not to load the brackets immediately to the maximum.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar o efeito das nanopartículas de dióxido de silício (SiO2), presentes em diferentes sistemas adesivos, na resistência ao cisalhamento da colagem (RAC) e no modo de fratura de braquetes ortodônticos avaliados em dois momentos. Métodos: noventa e seis pré-molares intactos foram divididos em quatro grupos: A) condicionador ácido convencional e primer Transbond XT; B) primer autocondicionador Transbond Plus; e dois sistemas adesivos autocondicionantes reforçados com nanopartículas de dióxido de silício em diferentes concentrações, C) DC Futurabond a 1%; D) Optibond All-In-One a 7%. Cada grupo foi dividido em dois subgrupos (n = 12), de acordo com o tempo para realização do teste (12 e 24 horas). O teste da RAC foi realizado em uma máquina universal de ensaios. Os resultados do índice de adesivo remanescente foram determinados com um estereomicroscópio. Para determinar o tamanho e a distribuição das nanopartículas, utilizou-se microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (MET). O ANOVA a um critério foi usado para comparar a RAC, seguido pelo teste post-hoc de Tukey. O teste qui-quadrado foi usado para avaliar os índices de adesivo remanescente. Resultados: a RAC média do Futurabond DC e do Optibond All-In-One foi menor do que a do sistema convencional, de forma estatisticamente significativa; e não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os níveis médios de RAC obtidos nos sistemas adesivos autocondicionantes avaliados nesse estudo. Os menores índices de adesivo remanescente foram observados com o Futurabond DC e o Optibond All-In-One. Não houve, entre os sistemas adesivos, diferença significativa na RAC e nos índices de adesivo remanescente obtidos nos dois tempos de aplicação. Foi observada uma distribuição relativamente homogênea das partículas nos sistemas adesivos. Conclusão: os dois sistemas com nanopartículas demonstraram menor RAC, mas ainda aceitável e com o menor índice de adesivo remanescente no esmalte. É, assim, aconselhável não submeter os braquetes à carga máxima logo após a colagem.

Comparing the effect of a desensitizing material and a self-etch adhesive on dentin sensitivity after periodontal surgery: a randomized clinical trial

OBJECTIVES: This double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluated the ability of a desensitizing agent and a self-etch adhesive on cervical dentin sensitivity (CDS) after periodontal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety hypersensitive teeth of 13 subjects were included in the study. After periodontal surgery, the teeth of each posterior sextant treated with one of the following materials: G1: Clearfil S³ Bond (Kuraray Dental), G2: Gluma Desensitizer (Heraeus Kulzer), and G3: placebo (water). The sensitivity was assessed using evaporative stimuli before treatment (baseline, T0), 1 day after treatment (T1), after 1 week (T2), and after 1 month (T3) according to visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS: Following the treatment, all the 3 groups showed significant reduction of CDS in T1 compared to T0. Reduction of CDS between T1 and T2 was observed only in G1 but there was no significant difference between T2 and T3 in this group. Although we observed a significant difference in T3 compared to T1 and T2 in G2 and G3, comparison of treatment groups in each assessment time showed a significant difference only in T3. According to paired comparison, this was due to the difference between G2 and G3. CONCLUSIONS: Dentin sensitivity following periodontal surgery will decrease spontaneously over time, but treating the sensitive teeth with Gluma Desensitizer and Clearfil S³ Bond can have some benefits.
