Effect of Sodium Ascorbate or Alpha-Tocopherol on the Resin-Dentin Interface and Bond Strength after Endodontic Treatment and Bleaching

ABSTRACT: The objective of this in vitro study was to assess the effects of two antioxidants (sodium ascorbate [SA] and alpha-tocopherol [AT]) on the adhesive interface and dentin bond strength immediately after bleaching with 38 % hydrogen peroxide (38HP) in endodontically-treated teeth. Two stages of experimentation were carried out. Bovine incisors were allocated into four groups (n = 10/group for each experiment): NB, non-bleached restored crowns; 38HP, bleached and immediately restored crowns; 38HP-SA, bleached crowns and SA use; and 38HP-AT, bleached crowns and AT use. Hybrid layer length in dentin (μm) and bond strength (MPa) were assessed with confocal microscopy laser and micro-shear bond strength (μSBS) test, respectively. Failure mode was determined by stereomicroscope. Data analysis was performed with analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn, Tukey, and Fisher-exact tests (a = 0.05). Higher values of hybrid layer length were observed similarly in the NB and 38HP-SA groups. The highest μSBS mean values were observed in the NB group (18 .51 ? 1.33), whereas the SBS values for 38HP-AT (1.68 ? 0.32) were similar to the 38HP group (1.61 ? 0.51) (p > 0.05) and significantly lower than the 38HP-SA group (5.78 ? 0.71). Adhesive failures were predominant in the 38HP and 38HP-AT groups. Cohesive and mixed failures were mostly observed in the NB and 38HP-SA groups, respectively. In conclusion, AT has no immediate effect on the hybrid layer formation and μSBS of dentin. Although SA promotes an increase in hybrid layer formation, it was not reflected in the μSBS values.

RESUMEN: El objetivo de este estudio in vitro fue evaluar los efectos de dos antioxidantes (ascorbato de sodio [AS] y alfa-tocoferol [AT]) sobre la interfaz adhesiva y la fuerza de unión de la dentina inmediatamente después del blanqueamiento con peróxido de hidrógeno al 38 % (38HP) en endodoncia. -Dientes tratados. Se llevaron a cabo dos etapas de experimentación. Los incisivos bovinos se dividieron en cuatro grupos (n = 10 / grupo para cada experimento): NB, coronas restauradas no blanqueadas; 38HP, coronas blanqueadas y restauradas inmediatamente; 38HP- AS, coronas blanqueadas y uso SA; y 38HP-AT, coronas blanqueadas y uso de AT. La longitud de la capa híbrida en dentina (μm) y la fuerza de unión (MPa) se evaluaron con láser de microscopía confocal y la prueba de fuerza de unión por micro-cizallamiento (μSBS), respectivamente. El modo de falla se determinó mediante estereomicroscopio. El análisis de los datos se realizó con análisis de varianza (ANOVA) y pruebas de Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn, Tukey y Fisher (α = 0,05). De manera similar, se observaron valores más altos de longitud de capa híbrida en los grupos NB y 38HP-AS. Los valores medios más altos de μSBS se observaron en el grupo NB (18,51 ? 1,33), mientras que los valores de SBS para 38HP-AT (1,68 ? 0,32) fueron similares a los del grupo 38HP (1,61 ? 0,51) (p> 0,05) y significativamente más bajos que el grupo 38HP-AS (5,78 ? 0,71). Las fallas adhesivas fueron predominantes en los grupos de 38HP y 38HP-AT. Las fallas cohesivas y mixtas se observaron principalmente en los grupos NB y 38HP-AS, respectivamente. En conclusión, la AT no tiene un efecto inmediato sobre la formación de la capa híbrida y el μSBS de dentina. Aunque AS promueve un aumento en la formación de capas híbridas, no se refleja en los valores de μSBS.

Effect of captopril pretreatment on the dentin bonding durability of self-etch adhesive / 浙江大学学报·医学版

To investigate the effect of captopril on the dentin bonding durability of self-etch adhesive. Different concentrations of captopril ethanol solutions or captopril ethanol/water solutions were prepared to pretreat dentin as primer for the self-etch adhesives. The surface morphology of the dentin was observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Based on the morphology analysis, the pretreatment condition was selected and two self-etch adhesives were employed to evaluate the improvement effect of the captopril pretreatment on the dentin bonding durability. : SEM showed that the pretreatment of captopril ethanol solutions and captopril ethanol/water solutions were able to remove the smear lay and partially expose collagen matrix. According to the SEM results, the pretreating condition of captopril ethanol/water solution with the pretreating time of was selected for further dentin bonding study. For Clearfil SEBOND system, the immediate bonding strength increased from to  (0.05]. For Clearfil S BOND system, there was no significant difference in the immediate bonding strength between the experimental group [(4.07) MPa] and the control group[(4.11) MPa]. But after one-year aging, the bonding strength of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group <0.05]. : The pretreatment with captopril ethanol/water solution increases the dentin bonding strength of the self-etch adhesive systems and also improves the bonding durability.

Effect of dentin preparation mode on the bond strength between human dentin and different resin cements

Abstract The aim was to evaluate the influence of different dentin preparation mode in the smear layer characteristics (SL), hybrid layer (HL), and microtensile bond strength (µTBS) to dentin with two resin cements. The occlusal dentin of 120 third molars was exposed. The teeth were divided into 4 groups (n=30) according to the dentin preparation mode: 1- fine grain diamond bur; 2- coarse grain diamond bur; 3- multi laminate carbide steel bur; and, 4- ultrasonic CV Dentus diamond bur. Each treated dentin group was divided into 2 sub-groups (n=15) according to the resin cement: (1) RelyX U200 and (2) RelyX ARC. Resin composite blocks were cemented on dentin. After storage at 37o C for 24 h, beams with a cross section area of 1.0 mm2 were obtained, and tested in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Two additional teeth for each sub-group were prepared to analyze the SL and HL on a scanning electron microscopy. According to Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn tests, there was no significant difference in µTBS among the rotary instruments within each resin cement group. RelyX ARC obtained higher µTBS values compared to RelyX U200 (p<0.05). RelyX ARC formed evident HL, which was not observed for RelyX U200. The dentin mode preparation did not influence the µTBS of the resin cements. The SL was different for all instruments. The cementing agent is more determinant in the hybrid layer formation and bond strength to dentin than the instruments applied on dentin.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência de diferentes modos de preparação da dentina nas características da smear layer (SL), da camada híbrida (CH) e na resistência de união à microtração (RUµT) à dentina com dois cimentos resinosos. A dentina oclusal de 120 terceiros molares humanos foi exposta. Os dentes foram divididos em 4 grupos (n=30) de acordo com o modo de preparação da dentina: 1 - ponta diamantada de granulação fina; 2 - ponta diamantada de granulação grossa; 3 - ponta de carboneto de aço multilaminada; 4 - ponta diamantada ultrassônica. Cada grupo foi subdividido em dois subgrupos (n=15) de acordo com o cimento resinoso: (1) RelyX U200 e (2) RelyX ARC. Blocos de resina composta foram cimentados na dentina. Após armazenamento a 37 °C por 24 h, as amostras foram cortadas para obter palitos com área de 1,0 mm2, os quais foram testados em máquina de ensaio universal com velocidade de 0,5 mm/min. Dois dentes adicionais por subgrupo foram preparados para analisar as características da SL e da CH em microscópio eletrônico de varredura. De acordo com o teste de Kruskal-Wallis e o teste de Dunn, não houve diferença significativa na RUµT entre os instrumentos rotatórios para cada cimento resinoso. RelyX ARC obteve maiores valores de RUµT em comparação ao RelyX U200 (p<0,05). RelyX ARC formou uma CH evidente, o que não foi observado para o RelyX U200. O modo de preparação da dentina não influenciou na RUµT dos cimentos resinosos. A SL foi diferente para todos os instrumentos. O agente de cimentação foi mais determinante na formação da camada híbrida e na resistência de união do que os instrumentos utilizados para preparar a dentina.

Antecedentes: La formación de la capa híbrida debe ser proporcional a la capacidad de los cementos para retener con éxito postes de fibra de vidrio en el interior del conducto preparado endodónticamente. Objetivo: Medir el espesor de la capa híbrida en los tercios coronal y apical as usar cementos autograbadores de uno y dos pasos. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio experimental con 30 premolares humanos que se trataron endodónticamente y se asignaron a tres grupos. Se cementaron postes de fibra de vidrio con tres cementos siguiendo las instrucciones de los fabricantes. Se realizaron cortes coronales y apicales y se cuantificó el grosor de la capa híbrida por microscopía electrónica de barrido. Los datos se analizaron con las pruebas estadísticas H de Kruskal-Wallis y U de Mann-Whitney (p<0,05). Resultados: El promedio del grosor de la capa híbrida fue de 0,74 mm con Multilink N® (grupo 1), 0,24 mm con RelyX Ultimate® (grupo 2) y 0,03 mm con RelyX U200® (grupo 3) (p = 0,0092). Los promedios en los tercios coronal y apical fueron: 1,29 mm y 0,19 mm para el grupo 1; 0,33 mm y 0,14 mm para el grupo 2 y 0,26 mm y 0,23 mm para el grupo 3, diferencias que fueron estadísticamente significativas (p = 0,043). Conclusiones: El espesor de la capa híbrida formada con el uso de los cementos de dos pasos fue mayor que con el cemento de un solo paso, especialmente en la porción coronal.

Background: Hybrid layer formation should be proportional to cement properties to successfully retain fiberglass posts into root canals. Purpose: To measure of hybrid layer thickness in coronal and apical thirds after using one-step and two-step self-etching cements. Methods: This experimental study used 30 human premolars with root-canal treatments, which were assigned into three groups. Fiberglass posts were cemented with three types of self-etching cements following manufacturers' instructions. Roots were cut in the coronal and apical thirds and hybrid layer thickness was quantified through scanning electron microscopy. Data were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (p < 0.05). Results: Average thickness of the hybrid layer was 0.74 µm with Multilink N™ (group 1), 0.24 µm with RelyX Ultimate™ (group 2), and 0.03 µm with RelyX U200™ (group 3) (p = 0.0092). Average thickness in coronal and apical thirds were: 1.29 µm and 0.19 µm for group 1; 0.33 µm and 0.14 µm for group 2; and 0.26 µm and 0.23 µm for group 3, differences that were statistically significant (p = 0.043). Conclusions: The thickness of the hybrid layer formed after suing two-step cements was greater than that of one-step cement, especially in the tooth coronal third.

Evaluation of matrix metalloproteinase and cysteine cathepsin activity in dentin hybrid layer by gelatin zymography.

Aim: The aim of this study was to comparatively assess the gelatinolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) and Cysteine Cathepsins (CCs) in the adhesive interface using etch and rinse adhesive at different time intervals using zymographic technique. Methodology: Twenty freshly extracted non-carious human third molars were used in this study. Occlusal surfaces were ground flat and 1mm thick horizontal dentin slabs were obtained from each tooth using a diamond disc. The dentin surface was polished with 600-grit silicon-carbide paper. Five out of 20 samples were directly pulverized. In the remaining fifteen samples, the dentin was etched and adhesive was applied and light cured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A 1mm thick flowable composite was build up and light cured. Bonded specimens were cut vertically into 3 to 4 dentin slabs by means of diamond disc to expose the adhesive/ dentin interfaces. These were then ground down to 500 μm thick resin-dentin interface using a hard tissue microtome. These sections were then pulverised into powder. Following this, every five samples were subjected to zymographic analysis after 1 day, 7 days and 21 days. Results: Zymograms showed clear, thicker bands on all three isoforms in the etched samples compared to control samples at 1st and 7th day intervals and became inactive at 21st day for all three isoforms. MMP 9 activity was relatively higher when compared to CCs and MMP 2. Conclusion: Etch and rinse adhesive activated MMPs and CCs within the hybrid layer that remained active till 7th day and no gelatinolytic activity was found on 21st day and MMPs are more active compared to CCs and MMP-2.

Effect of Chlorhexidine on Dentin Bond Strength of Two Adhesive Systems after Storage in Different Media

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) application during the bonding protocol on microshear bond strength of two adhesive systems, after storage in different media. Seventy-two human molars had their crowns cut in half and embedded in PVC cylinders with acrylic resin. The specimens were randomly divided into experimental groups (n=12) according to the adhesive system (Ambar and Single Bond 2), use of CHX in the bonding protocol, and time interval (24 h and 15 days) in the storage media (distilled water, mineral oil and 1% sodium hypochlorite - NaOCl). Adhesive systems were applied in accordance to manufacturers' recommendations, with or without the use of CHX, and resin composite (Z350 XT) cylinders were placed on the hybridized dentin. After photoactivation, the specimens were stored in distilled water, mineral oil and 1% NaOCl for 24 h and 15 days. Microshear bond strength was determined at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until fracture. The bond strength data were analyzed statistically by 4-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=5%). Use of CHX in the bonding protocol did not cause loss of bond strength in any of the evaluated situations, irrespective of time and storage medium. The storage medium had no influence on bond strength values after 15 days when the bond protocol without CHX application was used. However, the use of CHX in the protocol influenced negatively the bond strength values for Single Bond 2 after 15 days storage in distilled water and 1% NaOCl.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de clorexidina 2% (CHX) na resistência de união (RU) ao microcisalhamento de dois sistemas adesivos após armazenagem em diferentes meios. Setenta e duas coroas de molares humanos foram cortadas e incluídas em cilindros de PVC. Os espécimes foram distribuídos aleatoriamente nos grupos (n=12), segundo o sistema adesivo (Ambar e Single Bond 2), uso ou não de CHX e o tempo (24 h e 15 dias) e meio de armazenamento (água destilada, óleo mineral e hipoclorito de sódio 1% - NaOCl). Os sistemas adesivos foram aplicados de acordo com as recomendações do fabricante, com e sem o uso de CHX, e cilindros de resina composta (Z350 XT) foram colocados sobre a dentina já hibridizada. Após a fotoativação, os espécimes foram armazenados em um dos três meios (água destilada, óleo mineral e NaOCl a 1%) a 37 ºC por 24 h e 15 dias. RU foi determinada pelo ensaio de microcisalhamento, com velocidade de 0,5 mm/min. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA a quatro fatores e teste de Tukey (α=5%). O uso da CHX não provocou perda de RU em nenhuma das situações avaliadas, independentemente do tempo e meio de armazenamento. Não houve influência do meio de armazenamento na RU após 15 dias quando foi utilizado o protocolo adesivo sem a aplicação de CHX. Porém, a utilização de CHX influenciou negativamente os valores de RU para o Single Bond 2 após 15 dias de armazenamento em água destilada e NaOCl a 1%.

Influencia de los inhibidores de las metaloproteinasas, agentes reticuladores y remineralización biomimética en la longevidad de la unión adhesiva: parte 3: agentes reticuladores / Metalloproteinase inhibitors, cross-linking agents and biomimetic remineralization influence in the adhesive bond longevity: part 3: cross-linking agents

Las propiedades mecánicas del colágeno se deben a agentes intrínsecos de entrecruzamiento [Al-Ammar et al, 2009]. El aumento en el número de enlaces de la molécula de colágeno mejora su estabilidad e integridad, colaborando con el mantenimiento de propiedades adecuadas de la unión adhesiva a lo largo del tiempo [Bedran-Russo et al, 2009; Breschi et al, 2008]. Existen varios enfoques que permiten modificar el sustrato dentinario mediante la promoción de la formación de enlaces exógenos, con el objetivo de aumentar la resistencia de la red de colágeno [Bedran-Russo et al, 2007; Bedran-Russo et al, 2008]. Estos enfoques se dividen en métodos mecánicos [Bedran-Russo et al, 2007; Bedran-Russo et al, 2008; Castellan et al, 2010; Han et al, 2003] y método fotoxidativo [Cova et al, 2011]. Dentro de los primeros, los agentes reticuladores de origen natural son capaces de estabilizar el colágeno de la dentina [Bedran-Russo et al, 2007] sin afectar la resistencia de la unión adhesiva y sin generar toxicidad. Sin embargo, el uso de estos agentes por sí solo no permite asegurar la estabilidad de la unión adhesiva a lo largo del tiempo; porque como es sabido, la longevidad de dicha unión no depende únicamente de las características del sustrato, sino también de propiedades inherentes al sistema adhesivo por un lado, y de la presencia de humedad por otro.

The mechanical properties of collagen are due to intrinsic crosslinking agents [Al-Ammar et al, 2009]. The increase in the number of links of the collagen molecule improves its stability and integrity, collaborating with the maintenance of adequate adhesive bonding properties over time [Bedran-Russo et al, 2009; Breschi et al, 2008]. There are several approaches for modifying the dentin substrate by promoting the formation of exogenous links, in order to increase the strength of the collagen network [Bedran-Russo et al, 2007; Bedran-Russo et al, 2008]. These approaches are divided into mechanical methods [Bedran-Russo et al, 2007; Bedran-Russo et al, 2008; Castellan et al, 2010; Han et al, 2003] and foto oxidating method [Cova et al, 2011]. Within the first, the naturally occurring crosslinking agents are capable of stabilizing the dentin collagen [Bedran-Russo et al, 2007] without affecting the strength of the adhesive bond and without generating any toxicity. However, the use of these agents alone does not ensure the stability of the adhesive bond over time; because as it is known, the longevity of such binding does not only depend on the substrate’s characteristics, but also on the adhesive system’s properties on one side, and the presence of moisture on the other

Influência da camada híbrida na resistência à microtração de sistemas adesivos após armazenamento / Hibrid layer influence in bond systems microtensile test after storage

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resistência à microtração de sistemas adesivos em função da presença ou não da camada de colágeno e do tempo de armazenamento. Para tanto foram utilizados 24 terceiros molares restaurados utilizando-se diferentes sistemas adesivos, com ou sem tratamento prévio com NaOCl, e armazenados por 24 horas e 12 meses. Os valores de resistência foram submetidos à análise estatística. O tratamento prévio com NaOCl não foi significativo em 24 horas. Entretanto, este tratamento manteve resultados satisfatórios de adesão após 12 meses para todos os sistemas adesivos, com exceção apenas do Prime & Bond NT.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength of different bond systems due to presence or absence of the collagen layer and storage time. Therefore, 24 third molars were restored using different bond systems, with or without pretreatment with NaOCl, and stored for 24 hours and 12 months. The microtensile strength values were subjected to statistical analysis. The pretreatment with NaOCl was not significant in 24 hours. However, this pretreatment remained satisfactory bond results after 12 months for all bond systems, except for Prime & Bond NT.

The Effect Of Different Dental Adhesive Systems On Hybrid Layer Qualities

The study aimed to evaluate the quality of the hybridlayer form by three different adhesive systems. Class Vcavities were prepared on the buccal surface of fourtyextracted human premolars. The prepared teeth wererandomly assigned into four groups according to theadhesive system and application mode. The systemswere: Optibond S (OS, total-etch); Optibond Versa (OV,two-bottles, self-etch); Single Bond Universal (SBU,one-bottle, self-etch) and Single Bond Universal withetchant (SBU + etchant). All cavities were restored withcomposite (Filtek Z350XT). The samples were sectioned,polished and pretreated to remove minerals, proteinand water prior to SEM evaluation. From the images,thickness of the hybrid layers was measured. Present ofresin tags and adaptation failure were also recorded. Thedata obtained were analyzed using ANOVA, Dunnett’sT3, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. OS groupshowed the highest average hybrid layer thickness (4.34µm), followed by SBU + etchant (3.06 µm), OV (1.91 µm)and SBU (0.95 µm). Both adhesive and cohesive failureswere observed in SBU group. Present of prominent resintags were seen in both OS and OV groups. In conclusion,all the investigated adhesive systems were able to performdistinguishable actions as shown in micro-morphologicalalteration and hybrid layer thickness. Two-bottles, selfetchadhesive (OV) was proven to produce negligibleadaptation failure compared to other adhesive systems inthe present study. Combined all-in-one adhesive (SBU)was found to render a superior bonding performance intotal-etch mode comparing to self-etch mode.

Adhesion of 10-MDP containing resin cements to dentin with and without the etch-and-rinse technique

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the adhesion of 10-MDP containing self-etch and self-adhesive resin cements to dentin with and without the use of etch-and-rinse technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human third molars (N=180) were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=30 per group). Conventional (Panavia F2.0, Kuraray-PAN) and self-adhesive resin cements (Clearfil SA, Kuraray-CSA) were bonded to dentin surfaces either after application of 3-step etch-and-rinse (35% H3PO4 + ED Primer) or two-step self-etch adhesive resin (Clearfil SE Bond). Specimens were subjected to shear bond strength test using the universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min). The failure types were analyzed using a stereomicroscope and quality of hybrid layer was observed under a scanning electron microscope. The data (MPa) were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests (alpha=.05). RESULTS: Overall, PAN adhesive cement showed significantly higher mean bond strength (12.5 +/- 2.3 - 14.1 +/- 2.4 MPa) than CSA cement (9.3 +/- 1.4 - 13.9 +/- 1.9 MPa) (P<.001). Adhesive failures were more frequent in CSA cement groups when used in conjunction with two-step self-adhesive (68%) or no adhesive at all (66%). Hybrid layer quality was inferior in CSA compared to PAN cement in all conditions. CONCLUSION: In clinical situations where bonding to dentin substrate is crucial, both conventional and self-adhesive resin cements based on 10-MDP can benefit from etch-and-rinse technique to achieve better quality of adhesion in the early clinical period.

The Effect of Sodium Hypochlorite Treatment On The Shear Bond Strength of An Acetone - Based Adhesive System to Dentin - An In Vitro Study.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite applied for 30 seconds on acid etched dentin on the shear bond strengths of an acetone-based adhesive. Materials and Methods: 40 freshly extracted molars were used as specimens to evaluate shear bond strength of composite to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)-treated dentin using Prime and Bond NT dentin bonding agent after 10% NaOCl (Group I), 5% NaOCl (Group II), 2.5% NaOCl (Group III) and No NaOCl (Control) treatment. Shear bond strengths of all specimens were measured using an Intron Universal Testing Machine. Results: Group II demonstrated higher bond strengths than Groups I, III and IV. Groups I, III and IV did not show any statistically significant differences in their bond strengths. Group III demonstrated the least bond strength. Group I showed similar bond strength as that of Group IV. Conclusion: Highest shear bond strength values were demonstrated by Group II i.e. 5% sodium hypochlorite treatment group. This could be because of partial decollagenation and formation of an optimum hybrid layer.

Resistência de união de uma resina composta à dentina normal e erodida: o papel da aplicação de soluções de clorexidina em diferentes concentrações após seis meses e um ano de envelhecimento / Bond strength of a composite resin to normal and eroded dentin: the role of the application of chlorhexidine solutions in different concentrations after sixmonths and one-year of aging

A aplicação de soluções de digluconato de clorexidina (CHX), em diferentes concentrações, tem demonstrado potencial em prevenir a progressão da erosão dentinária in situ e a diminuição, com o passar do tempo, dos valores de resistência de união (RU) de resinas compostas (RC) à dentina normal ou afetada por cárie. Entretanto, seu papel na adesão à dentina já erodida é desconhecido. Este estudo se propôs, portanto, a avaliar o efeito da aplicação de soluções de CHX em diferentes concentrações na RU de uma RC à dentina normal (parâmetro para comparações) e à dentina erodida, ao longo do tempo. Terceiros molares humanos hígidos extraídos (n=48) tiveram seu terço oclusal seccionado e as superfícies dentinárias expostas foram somente submetidas à ação de uma lixa de carbeto de silício de granulação 600/1 min (dentina normal-N, n=24), ou subsequentemente erodidas por um refrigerante a base de cola (imersões de 5 min, 3x/dia, 5 dias; dentina erodida-E, n=24). Foram, então, condicionadas (H3PO4 a 37%; 15 s), lavadas, secas e reidratadas com 1,5 L, respectivamente, de água deionizada (controle-NC, n=8 / EC, n=8), de CHX a 0,004% (N0,004%, n=8 / E0,004%, n=8) ou de CHX a 2% (N2%, n=8 / E2%, n=8). O sistema adesivo AdperTMSingle Bond 2® foi aplicado em todos os espécimes e a porção coronária foi incrementalmente reconstruída com a RC FiltekTMZ350®. Depois de armazenados em água deionizada (24 h, 37oC), os espécimes foram seccionados em palitos (secção transversal 0,81 mm2), que foram testados, sob força de tração (EMIC; célula de carga de 50 kgf; 0,5 mm/minuto), imediatamente ou depois de 6 meses ou 1 ano de envelhecimento. As falhas foram analisadas e classificadas em adesivas, mistas, coesivas em dentina ou em resina. Paralelamente, avaliou-se a qualidade da hibridização para cada grupo experimental, por meio da obtenção de imagens em microscopia confocal de varredura a laser de um espécime por grupo, hibridizado pelo mesmo adesivo, mas marcado pela...

The application of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) solutions, in different concentrations, has shown potential in preventing the progression of dentin erosion in situ and the decline, in the course of time, of the bond strength (BS) values of composite resins (CR) to normal or caries-affected dentin. However, its role on adhesion to already eroded dentin is unknown. This study aimed, therefore, to evaluate the effect of the application of CHX solutions in different concentrations on BS of a CR to normal (parameter for comparisons) and to eroded dentin over time. Extracted sound human third molars (n=48) had their occlusal thirds sectioned and exposed flat dentin was only submitted to a 600-grit SiC paper/1min (normal dentin- N, n=24), or subsequently eroded by a regular-cola soft-drink (5-min immersions, 3x/day, 5 days; eroded dentin-E, n=24). They were, then, acid-etched (37% H3PO4; 15 s), washed, vigorously dried, and rehydrated with 1.5 L, respectively, of deionized water (control-NC, n=8 / EC, n=8); of 0.004% CHX (N0.004%, n=8 / E0.004%, n=8); or of 2% CHX (N2%, n=8 / E2%, n=8). AdperTMSingle Bond 2® was applied in all specimens and composite core buildups were incrementally constructed with FiltekTMZ350®. After storage in deionized water (24 h, 37°C), specimens were sectioned in beams (cross-section 0.81 mm2), which were tested, under tensile (EMIC; 50 kgf load cell; 0.5 mm/minute), immediately or after 6 months or 1 year of aging. Failures were analyzed and classified in adhesive, mixed, cohesive in dentin or in resin. In parallel, the quality of the hybridization for each experimental group was evaluated, by means of the obtainment of laser scanning confocal microscopy images from one specimen per group, hybridized with the same adhesive, but marked by the addition of rhodamine B and sectioned only mesiodistally.

Resistência de união de uma resina composta à dentina normal e erodida: o papel da aplicação de soluções de clorexidina em diferentes concentrações após seis meses e um ano de envelhecimento / Bond strength of a composite resin to normal and eroded dentin: the role of the application of chlorhexidine solutions in different concentrations after sixmonths and one-year of aging

A aplicação de soluções de digluconato de clorexidina (CHX), em diferentes concentrações, tem demonstrado potencial em prevenir a progressão da erosão dentinária in situ e a diminuição, com o passar do tempo, dos valores de resistência de união (RU) de resinas compostas (RC) à dentina normal ou afetada por cárie. Entretanto, seu papel na adesão à dentina já erodida é desconhecido. Este estudo se propôs, portanto, a avaliar o efeito da aplicação de soluções de CHX em diferentes concentrações na RU de uma RC à dentina normal (parâmetro para comparações) e à dentina erodida, ao longo do tempo. Terceiros molares humanos hígidos extraídos (n=48) tiveram seu terço oclusal seccionado e as superfícies dentinárias expostas foram somente submetidas à ação de uma lixa de carbeto de silício de granulação 600/1 min (dentina normal-N, n=24), ou subsequentemente erodidas por um refrigerante a base de cola (imersões de 5 min, 3x/dia, 5 dias; dentina erodida-E, n=24). Foram, então, condicionadas (H3PO4 a 37%; 15 s), lavadas, secas e reidratadas com 1,5 L, respectivamente, de água deionizada (controle-NC, n=8 / EC, n=8), de CHX a 0,004% (N0,004%, n=8 / E0,004%, n=8) ou de CHX a 2% (N2%, n=8 / E2%, n=8). O sistema adesivo AdperTMSingle Bond 2® foi aplicado em todos os espécimes e a porção coronária foi incrementalmente reconstruída com a RC FiltekTMZ350®. Depois de armazenados em água deionizada (24 h, 37oC), os espécimes foram seccionados em palitos (secção transversal 0,81 mm2), que foram testados, sob força de tração (EMIC; célula de carga de 50 kgf; 0,5 mm/minuto), imediatamente ou depois de 6 meses ou 1 ano de envelhecimento. As falhas foram analisadas e classificadas em adesivas, mistas, coesivas em dentina ou em resina. Paralelamente, avaliou-se a qualidade da hibridização para cada grupo experimental, por meio da obtenção de imagens em microscopia confocal de varredura a laser de um espécime por grupo, hibridizado pelo mesmo adesivo, mas marcado pela...

The application of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) solutions, in different concentrations, has shown potential in preventing the progression of dentin erosion in situ and the decline, in the course of time, of the bond strength (BS) values of composite resins (CR) to normal or caries-affected dentin. However, its role on adhesion to already eroded dentin is unknown. This study aimed, therefore, to evaluate the effect of the application of CHX solutions in different concentrations on BS of a CR to normal (parameter for comparisons) and to eroded dentin over time. Extracted sound human third molars (n=48) had their occlusal thirds sectioned and exposed flat dentin was only submitted to a 600-grit SiC paper/1min (normal dentin- N, n=24), or subsequently eroded by a regular-cola soft-drink (5-min immersions, 3x/day, 5 days; eroded dentin-E, n=24). They were, then, acid-etched (37% H3PO4; 15 s), washed, vigorously dried, and rehydrated with 1.5 L, respectively, of deionized water (control-NC, n=8 / EC, n=8); of 0.004% CHX (N0.004%, n=8 / E0.004%, n=8); or of 2% CHX (N2%, n=8 / E2%, n=8).

Influence of voids in the hybrid layer based on self-etching adhesive systems: a 3-D FE analysis

The presence of porosities at the dentin/adhesive interface has been observed with the use of new generation dentin bonding systems. These porosities tend to contradict the concept that etching and hybridization processes occur equally and simultaneously. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the micromechanical behavior of the hybrid layer (HL) with voids based on a self-etching adhesive system using 3-D finite element (FE) analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three FE models (Mr) were built: Mr, dentin specimen (41x41x82 μm) with a regular and perfect (i.e. pore-free) HL based on a self-etching adhesive system, restored with composite resin; Mp, similar to M, but containing 25 percent (v/v) voids in the HL; Mpp, similar to Mr, but containing 50 percent (v/v) voids in the HL. A tensile load (0.03N) was applied on top of the composite resin. The stress field was obtained by using Ansys Workbench 10.0. The nodes of the base of the specimen were constrained in the x, y and z axes. The maximum principal stress (σmax) was obtained for all structures at the dentin/adhesive interface. RESULTS: The Mpp showed the highest peak of σmax in the HL (32.2 MPa), followed by Mp (30 MPa) and Mr (28.4 MPa). The stress concentration in the peritubular dentin was high in all models (120 MPa). All other structures positioned far from voids showed similar increase of stress. CONCLUSION: Voids incorporated into the HL raised the σmax in this region by 13.5 percent. This behavior might be responsible for lower bond strengths of self-etching and single-bottle adhesives, as reported in the literature.

Estágio atual e perspectivas dos sistemas de união / Current adhesive systems and perspectives

O tratamento restaurador com a preservação de estrutura dental está fundamentado na utilização dos sistemas adesivos. Entretanto, a adesão à dentina tem sido um grande desafio para os pesquisadores, por ser um substrato heterogêneo. Atualmente, existe no mercado uma infinidade de marcas comerciais de sistemas adesivos com diferentes composições, métodos de aplicação e número de passos clínicos. Muitas vezes são lançados e retirados rapidamente do mercado, não havendo tempo para uma adequada avaliação clínica. Todos, de uma forma geral, têm como objetivo reduzir o número de passos operatórios e a sensibilidade da técnica adesiva e por sua vez, a microinfiltração. Diante desse questionamento, esta revisão teve como objetivo abordar o estágio atual em que se encontram os sistemas adesivos e quais as perspectivas futuras.

The establishment of adhesion of restorative materials has been replaced by tooth-conserving adhesive methods. However, dentin bonding is still a challenge, due to the great variation of dentin. Nowadays, there is an amount of adhesives systems, depending on how the steps are accomplished or simplified. There is a trend to move away from multicomponents bonding systems toward simplified; which reduces not only the clinical application time but also the sensitivity of the technique. In spite of this, the micromechanical bonding mechanism offered by the current adhesives must be analyzed under different aspects, in order to decrease a nanoleakage. Therefore, the aim of this review is approach the most recent concepts in adhesive systems and perspectives for the future.

Reacción de la dentina a los sistemas adhesivos resinosos: aspectos biológicos relacionados y biodegradación de la capa híbrida / Reaction of the dentin adhesive resin system: issues related biological and bio-degradation of the hybrid layer

La adhesión con sistemas adhesivos resinosos en dentina está siendo cuestionada, los estudios longitudinales in vivo y de envejecimiento in vitro al respecto demuestran que existe una degradación de la capa híbrida a nivel de las paredes pulpares del diseño cavitario. El presente artículo plantea una síntesis de numerosas conclusiones obtenidas de diversas investigaciones, para dar a entender la realidad de la adhesión en dentina y despertar una actitud restauradora diferente más allá del empleo único de sistemas adhesivos resinosos para pretender una unión adhesiva longeva en la dentina.

The adhesion with resinous adhesive systems in dentine has been questioned. Longitudinal studies in vivo and in vitro have demonstrated degradation of the hybrid layer at the level of the pulpar walls. The present article summarizes numerous conclusions obtained from different investigations, to explain the updates of adhesion in dentine and to promote a different restoring attitude that goes beyond the resinous adhesive systems alone.

Comparison of the elastic modulus among three dentin adhesives before and after thermocycling / 대한치과보존학회지

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on the elastic moduli of the adhesive and the hybrid layer from thermocycling. Twenty one human molars were used to create flat dentin surfaces. Each specimen was bonded with a light-cured composite using one of three commercial adhesives (OptiBond FL [OP], Clearfil SE Bond [CL], and Xeno III [XE]). These were sectioned into two halves and subsequently cut to yield 2-mm thickness specimens; one specimen for immediate bonding test without thermocycling and the other subjected to 10,000 times of thermocycling. Nanoindentation test was performed to measure the modulus of elasticity of the adhesive and the hybrid layer, respectively, using an atomic force microscope. After thermocycling, XE showed a significant decrease of the modulus in the adhesive layer (p < 0.05). Adhesives containing hydrophilic monomers are prone to hydrolytic degradation. It may result in the reduced modulus of elasticity, which leads to the mechanically weakened bonding interface.

Morphological patterns of self-etching primers and self-etching adhesive bonded to tooth structure / 대한치과보존학회지

The purpose of this study was to compare in vitro interfacial relationship of restorations bonded with three self-etching primer adhesives and one self-etching adhesive. Class I cavity preparations were prepared on twenty extracted human molars. Prepared teeth were divided into four groups and restored with four adhesives and composites: Clearfil SE Bond/Clearfil(TM) AP-X (SE), UniFil Bond/UniFil(R) F (UF), FL Bond/Filtek(TM) Z 250 (FL) and Prompt L-Pop/Filtek(TM) Z 250 (LP) After storing in distilled water of room temperature for 24 hours, the specimens were vertically sectioned and decalcified. Morphological patterns between the enamel/dentin and adhesives were observed under SEM. The results of this study were as follows; 1. They showed close adaptation between enamel and SE, UF and FL except for LP. 2. The hybrid layer in dentin was 2 microm thick in SE, 1.5 microm thick in UF, and 0.4 microm in both FL and LP. So, the hybrid layers of SE and UF were slightly thicker than that of FL and LP. 3. The lengths and diameters of resin tags in UF and FL were similar, but those of LP were slightly shorter and slenderer than those of SE. 4. The resin tags were long rod shape in SE, and funnel shape in other groups. Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that self-etching primer adhesives showed close adaptation on enamel. In addition, the thickness of hybrid layer ranged from 0.4-1.5 microm between adhesives and dentin. The resin tags were long rod or funnel shape, and dimension of them was similar or different among adhesives.

The effect of hybrid layer thickness on microtensile bond strength of three-step and self-etching dentin adhesive systems / 대한치과보존학회지

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between hybrid layer thickness and bond strength using confocal laser scanning microscope and microtensile bond strength test of two adhesive systems. The dentin surface of human molars, sectioned to remove the enamel from the occlusal surface. Either Scotchbond Multi-Purpose(3M Dental Product, St. Paul, MN, U.S.A) or Clearfil SE Bond(Kuraray, Osaka, Japan) was bonded to the surface, and covered with resin-composite. The resin-bonded teeth were serially sliced perpendicular to the adhesive interface to measure the hybrid layer thickness by confocal laser scanning microscope. The specimen were trimmed to give a bonded cross-sectional surface area of 1mm2, then the micro-tensile bone test was performed at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min. All fractured surfaces were also observed by stereomicroscope. There was no significant differences in bond strengths the materials(p>0.05). However, the hybrid layers of three-step dentin adhesive system, SM, had significantly thicker than self-etching adhesive system, CS(p0.05). Bond strengths of dentin adhesive systems were not dependent on the thickness of hybrid layer.
