Effect of bioceramic root canal sealers on the bond strength of fiber posts cemented with resin cements

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the influence of calcium silicate-based sealers on the bond strength of fiber posts using conventional and self-adhesive resin cement. Sixty single-rooted teeth were selected. The canals were prepared with a reciprocating instrument 40.06. The roots were randomly distributed in six groups (n = 10) according to the strategies for root canal filling and fiber posts cementation: AH Plus/RelyX ARC; AH Plus/RelyX U200; Bio C Sealer/RelyX ARC; Bio C Sealer/RealyX U200; Sealer Plus BC/RelyX ARC; and Sealer Plus BC/RelyX U200. The roots were transversally sectioned, and one slice per post-third was obtained. The push-out test was performed at a crosshead speed of 1mm/min. The failure patterns were described after assessment with a stereomicroscope with a 10× magnification. Bond strength was calculated and analyzed using the ANOVA and Tukey test. AH Plus did not influence the bond strength of fiber posts cemented with conventional (RelyX ARC) or with self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX U200). The lowest bond strength values were obtained when calcium silicate-based sealers were associated with conventional resin cement (Bio C Sealer/RelyX ARC and Sealer Plus BC/RelyX ARC). Except for Sealer Plus BC/RelyX ARC, all groups presented lower bond strength at the apical portion compared to the cervical portion of the post. Adhesive failures between cement and post and cement and dentin were predominant (55.3%). Calcium silicate-based sealers decreased the bond strength of fiber posts cemented with conventional resin cement.

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a influência de cimentos à base de silicato de cálcio na resistência de união de pinos de fibra utilizando cimentos resinosos convencionais e autoadesivos. Sessenta dentes humanos monorradiculares foram selecionados. Os canais foram preparados um instrumento reciprocante 40.06. As raízes foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em seis grupos (n = 10) de acordo com as estratégias de obturação do canal e cimentação dos pinos de fibra: AH Plus/RelyX ARC; AH Plus/RelyX U200; Bio C Sealer/RelyX ARC; Bio C Sealer/RealyX U200; Sealer Plus BC/RelyX ARC; e Sealer Plus BC/RelyX U200. As raízes foram seccionadas transversalmente e foi obtido um espécime por terço. O teste de push-out foi realizado em uma velocidade de 1mm/min. Os padrões de falha foram descritos após avaliação em estereomicroscópio com aumento de 10×. A resistência de união foi calculada e analisada por ANOVA e teste de Tukey. AH Plus não influenciou na resistência de união dos pinos de fibra cimentados com cimento resinoso convencional (RelyX ARC) ou autoadesivo (RelyX U200) (p > 0,05). Os menores valores de resistência de união foram obtidos quando os cimentos à base de silicato de cálcio foram associados ao cimento resinoso convencional (Bio C Sealer/RelyX ARC e Sealer Plus BC/RelyX ARC) (p < 0,05). Com exceção do Sealer Plus BC/RelyX ARC, todos os grupos apresentaram menor resistência de união na porção apical em comparação com a porção cervical do pino (p < 0,05). Falhas adesivas entre cimento e pino e cimento e dentina foram predominantes (55,3%). Cimentos a base de silicato de cálcio diminuíram a resistência de união de pinos de fibra cimentados com cimento resinoso convencional.

Resistencia adhesiva de postes de fibra a los diferentes tercios del conducto radicular / Adhesive resistance of fiber posts to different thirds of the root canal

En los últimos años resulta de elección la utilización de postes de fib ra en la rehabilitación de piezas endodónticamente tratadas. La adhesión entre poste, agente cementante y dentina radicular permitiría lograr una retención de la estructura dentro de las paredes del conducto. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la resistencia adhesiva en los tercios cervical, medio y apical, entre la dentina del conducto radicular y el cemento adhesivo utilizado en la cementación de postes de fibra. Se utilizaron 30 premolares inferiores uniradiculares humanos, recientemente extraídos, se realizaron los tratamientos endodónticos, se desobturaron y realizaron las preparaciones con la fresa conformadora número 3 para la cementación de postes White Post DC especial número 3 con cemento Paracore utilizando el protocolo adhesivo del mismo sistema. Las muestras fueron incluidas en acrílico cristal, cortadas en forma perpendicular al eje mayor de la pieza con una máquina de corte y por último se procedió a medir los valores de adhesión de los postes a la superficie interna de los conductos en los tres tercios con la prueba push-out mediante una máquina de ensayo universal. Los resultados arrojaron que las resistencias (media +- DE, MPa) en los tercios cervical, medio y apical, fueron 8,74 +- 3,12, 9,38 +- 2,29 y 11,11 +- 2,95, respectivamente. En el tercio apical se registró mayor resistencia. Considerando las limitaciones de esta investigación, se puede concluir que la cementación de postes de fibra con cementos resinosos, presenta mayores valores en el tercio apical y menores en el tercio cervical del conducto radicular con técnica de Push-out (AU)

Effect of silver antibacterial agents on bond strength of fiber posts to root dentin

Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate whether antibacterial pretreatment irrigation with silver nanoparticles (SNPs) and silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has any effect on bond strength of fiber posts cemented with three types of resin cements in root canal space. Fifty-four endodontically treated maxillary central incisor roots were prepared for fiber post (FRC Postec Plus NO.3, Ivoclar Vivadent) cementation and divided into nine groups in terms of three cement types and two pretreatments with silver antibacterial agents. The cements were as follows: an etch-and-rinse cement (ER, Excite DSC/Variolink N), a self-etch cement (SE, ED Primer/Panavia F2.0), and a self-adhesive cement (SA, Panavia SA Luting Plus). For each cement, the control group was with no treatment and two experimental groups were with SNPs and SDF treatments that were used after acid-etching for ER cement and after EDTA treatment for SE and SA cements. After fiber post cementation, each bonded root was horizontally sectioned into 1-mm thickness microslices to create two slices for each root region (apical, middle and coronal) and underwent push-out bond strength (PBS) test. Data in MPa were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (p=0.05). The interaction of the pretreatment type and cement type was significant (p<0.001). SNPs and SDF significantly increased PBS with ER cement (p≤0.04). This positive effect was also marginally significant for SDF with SE cement (p=0.049). For SA cement, SNPs showed a significant positive effect, but SDF had a significant adverse effect on PBS (p<0.001). The effect of pretreatment with silver antibacterial agents prior to adhesive cementation of fiber posts depends on the resin cement used. Contrary to SNPs with beneficial or no significant effect on bonding for all cements, SDF exhibited a deleterious effect with self-adhesive cement.

Resumo Este estudo foi conduzido para avaliar se a irrigação de pré-tratamento antibacteriano com nanopartículas de prata (SNPs) e fluoreto de diamina de prata (SDF) tem algum efeito na resistência de união de pinos de fibra cimentados com três tipos de cimentos resinosos no espaço do canal radicular. Cinquenta e quatro raízes de incisivos centrais superiores tratadas endodonticamente foram preparadas para cimentação de pino de fibra (FRC Postec Plus NO.3, Ivoclar Vivadent) e divididas em nove grupos em termos de três tipos de cimento e dois pré-tratamentos com agentes antibacterianos de prata. Os cimentos foram os seguintes: um cimento etch-and-rinse (ER, Excite DSC / Variolink N), um cimento autocondicionante (SE, ED Primer / Panavia F2.0) e um cimento autoadesivo (SA, Panavia SA Luting Plus). Para cada cimento, o grupo controle foi sem tratamento e dois grupos experimentais foram com SNPs e SDF tratamentos que foram usados após o condicionamento ácido para o cimento ER e após o tratamento com EDTA para os cimentos SE e SA. Após a cimentação do pilar de fibra, cada raiz ligada foi seccionada horizontalmente em microclimas de 1 mm de espessura para criar duas fatias para cada região da raiz (apical, média e coronal) e submetida ao teste de resistência de união por push-out (PBS). Os dados em MPa foram analisados ​​com ANOVA de dois fatores e teste de Tukey (p = 0,05). A interação do tipo de pré-tratamento e tipo de cimento foi significativa (p<0,001). SNPs e SDF aumentaram significativamente o PBS com cimento ER (p≤0,04). Este efeito positivo também foi marginalmente significativo para SDF com cimento SE (p = 0,049). Para o cimento SA, os SNPs mostraram um efeito positivo significativo, mas o SDF teve um efeito adverso significativo no PBS (p <0,001). O efeito do pré-tratamento com agentes antibacterianos de prata antes da cimentação adesiva dos pinos de fibra depende do cimento resinoso utilizado. Ao contrário dos SNPs com efeito benéfico ou nenhum efeito significativo na adesão para todos os cimentos, o SDF exibiu um efeito deletério com o cimento autoadesivo.

Does Sterilization Affect the Push Out Bond Strength of Experimental Dentin Posts? / ¿Afecta la esterilización la fuerza de adherencia de los postes de dentina experimentales?

ABSTRACT The purpose of this preliminary study is to evaluate the push-out bond strength (PBS) of experimental dentin posts (EDPs) obtained from human and bovine teeth sterilized by autoclaving and gamma radiation. Eighty-four mandibulary premolars were obturated and divided into three post groups: the glass fiber group (Fb) human EDP group (Hm) and the bovine EDP group (Bv). Three subgroups (n=12) were obtained for each EDP groups according to the sterilization methods; no sterilization (Cnt), steam autoclaving (Aut), and gamma radiation (Rad) a total dose of 25 kGy. All posts were cemented to root canals using a dual cured resin cement (Panavia SA). After the micro slices (1mm in thickness) were obtained of each subgroup, PBS test was performed. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparison tests (α=.05). The post type and sterilization method was significantly effective on the PBS values according to the ANOVA (P<.001). No sterilization apllied EDP groups showed significantly higher PBS values than the sterilized groups (P<.001). Bv_Cnt (9.42 ±1.31) showed significantly lower PBS values than both Fb (12.36 ±1.54) and Hm_Cnt (11.06 ±1.38) groups (P<.001). Both steam autoclaving and gamma radiation affect the PBS values and fracture modes of EDPs negatively. The bovine EDPs are not as effective as human EDPs with regard to the PBS to the root dentin.

RESUMEN El propósito de este estudio preliminar es evaluar el push-out bond strength de los postes de dentina experimentales (PDE) obtenidos de dientes humanos y bovinos esterilizados por autoclave y radiación gamma. Ochenta y cuatro premolares mandibulares fueron obturadores y se dividieron en tres grupos experimentales de postes: el grupo de fibra de vidrio (Fb) grupo PDE humano (Hm) y el grupo PDE bovino (Bv). Se obtuvieron tres subgrupos (n=12) para cada grupo de PDE según los métodos de esterilización; sin esterilización (Cnt), autoclave a vapor (Aut) y radiación gamma (Rad) con una dosis total de 25 kGy. Todos los postes se cementaron a los conductos radiculares utilizando un cemento de resina de curado doble (Panavia SA). Después de que se obtuvieron las micro rebanadas (1 mm de espesor) de cada subgrupo, se realizó una prueba de push-out bond strength. Los datos se analizaron utilizando ANOVA de dos vías y las pruebas de comparación múltiple de Tukey (α=.05). El tipo de poste y el método de esterilización fueron significativamente efectivos en los valores de push-out bond strength según el ANOVA (P <.001). Los grupos de PDE no aplicados a la esterilización mostraron valores de push-out bond strength significativamente mayores que los grupos esterilizados (p <0,001). Bv_Cnt (9.42 ±1.31) mostró valores de push-out bond strength significativamente más bajos que los grupos Fb (12.36 ±1.54) y Hm_Cnt (11.06 ±1.38) (P <.001). Tanto el autoclave al vapor como la radiación gamma afectan negativamente los valores de push-out bond strength y los modos de fractura de los PDE. Los PDE bovinos no son tan efectivos como los PDE humanos con respecto a la fuerza de adhesión a la dentina de la raíz.

The push-out bond strength of BIOfactor mineral trioxide aggregate, a novel root repair material

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the push-out bond strength of a novel calcium silicate-based root repair material-BIOfactor MTA to root canal dentin in comparison with white MTA-Angelus (Angelus) and Biodentine (Septodont). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The coronal parts of 12 central incisors were removed and the roots were embedded in acrylic resin blocks. Midroot dentin of each sample was horizontally sectioned into 1.1 mm slices and 3 slices were obtained from each root. Three canal-like standardized holes having 1 mm in diameter were created parallel to the root canal on each dentin slice with a diamond bur. The holes were filled with MTA-Angelus, Biodentine, or BIOfactor MTA. Wet gauze was placed over the specimens and samples were stored in an incubator at 37°C for 7 days to allow complete setting. Then samples were subjected to the push-out test method using a universal test machine with the loading speed of 1 mm/min. Data was statistically analyzed using Friedman test and post hoc Wilcoxon signed rank test with Bonferroni correction. RESULTS: There were no significant differences among the push-out bond strength values of MTA-Angelus, Biodentine, and BIOfactor MTA (p > 0.017). Most of the specimens exhibited cohesive failure in all groups, with the highest rate found in Biodentine group. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of this study, MTA-Angelus, Biodentine, and BIOfactor MTA showed similar resistances to the push-out testing.

Effect of blood contamination on the push-out bond strength of calcium silicate cements

Abstract This study investigated the effect of blood-contamination on the push-out bond strength of BiodentineTM (BD) and MTA Angelus® (MTA-A) to root dentin over time. Twenty-five teeth were sectioned horizontally to obtain 120 root slices. The lumens were filled with MTA-A or BD: 60 for each cement (30 uncontaminated and 30 blood contaminated). Push out bond strength to dentin was assessed at 24 h (n=10), 7 days (n=10) and 28 days (n=10). Failure modes were classified as: cohesive, adhesive or mixed failure. Two-way ANOVA was used to investigate the interaction between blood contamination vs. hydration period. Mann Whitney test compared different materials in each period, and it also compared the contaminated versus uncontaminated material for each period. Friedman, followed by Dunn`s test, compared periods of hydration for each material, regardless of blood contamination. Failure modes were reported descriptively. The interaction hydration period vs. blood contamination was highly significant for MTA-A (P=0.001) and it was not significant for BD (P=0.474). There were no differences between bond strength of uncontaminated and contaminated BD in any of the periods. Bond strength of uncontaminated MTA-A increased at each time of hydration; but it remained stable over time for blood-contaminated samples. BD had higher bond strength than MTA-A in all periods of hydration. Cohesive failure predominated. Only for MTA-A, the over time bond strength to dentin was affected by blood contamination.

Resumo Este estudo investigou o efeito da contaminação sanguínea na resistência de união do BiodentineTM (BD) e do MTA Angelus® (MTA-A) à dentina, em diferentes períodos. Vinte e cinco dentes foram seccionados para obter 120 fatias de dentina. Os lúmens das fatias foram preenchidos com MTA-A ou BD: 60 para cada cimento (30 não-contaminados e 30 contaminados com sangue). A resistência de união à dentina foi medida por teste push-out em 24 horas (n=10), 7 dias (n=10) e 28 dias (n=10). Os tipos de falha foram classificados como: falha coesiva, adesiva ou mista. Two-way ANOVA foi usado para investigar a interação entre contaminação sanguínea vs. período de hidratação. O teste de Mann Whitney comparou os diferentes materiais em cada período, e comparou as amostras contaminadas e não contaminadas de cada material em cada tempo. O teste de Friedman, seguido pelo teste de Dunn, comparou os períodos de hidratação de cada material, independentemente da contaminação. A análise estatística mostrou a interação entre contaminação sanguínea vs. período de hidratação. Os tipos de falha foram reportados de maneira descritiva. A interação entre contaminação sanguínea vs. período de hidratação foi altamente significativa para o MTA-A (P=0,001), e não foi significativa para o BD (P=0,474). Não houve diferenças entre a resistência de união entre o BD contaminado e não-contaminado independente do período. A resistência de união do MTA-A não-contaminado aumentou a cada tempo de hidratação; mas, permaneceu estável ao longo do tempo para as amostras contaminadas com sangue. BD obteve maior resistência de união que o MTA-A em todos os períodos de hidratação. Falhas coesivas predominaram. A contaminação ao longo do tempo influenciou a resistência de união no grupo MTA-A.

Effect of Intracanal Medicaments on Push-out Bond Strength of Calcium Silicate-based Materials / 대한소아치과학회지

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the intracanal medicaments on the push-out bond strength of the calcium silicate-based materials.Forty extracted single-root human mandibular premolars were sectioned below cementoenamel junction. Standardized root canal dimension was obtained with a parallel post drill. The specimens were randomly divided into a control group (no medicament), and experimental groups received medicaments with either CH (calcium hydroxide), DAP (double antibiotic paste; a mixture of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole), or TAP (triple antibiotic paste; a mixture of minocycline, ciprofloxacin and metronidazole). Following removal of medicaments with irrigation, roots were cut into sections with 1-mm-thickness. Thereafter, calcium silicate-based materials are applied to the specimens : (i) ProRoot MTA® and (ii) Biodentine®. A push-out bond strength was measured and each specimen was examined to evaluate failure mode.Intracanal medication using CH significantly increased the bond strength to the root dentin. But there are no significant differences on the bond strength of ProRoot MTA® or Biodentine® among TAP, DAP and control groups. The dislodgement resistance of Biodentine® from root dentin was significantly higher than that of ProRoot MTA® regardless of the type of intracanal medicaments.

Resistencia de unión del sistema de postes REBILDA® con la dentina intrarradicular

ctualmente existe controversia en la literatura acerca de la efectividad clínica y adhesiva con respecto a los sistemas adhesivos de refuerzo radicular. Así, el objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la resistencia de unión mediante la prueba de Push-Out entre el sistema de postes Rebilda® y la dentina intraradicular. Para esto, se utilizaron 28 dientes unirradiculares, que fueron cortados y padronizados en 16 mm. Los segmentos radiculares fueron sometidos a confección de tratamiento endodóntico; posteriormente, se dividieron aleatoriamente en dos grupos, Grupo 1 (n=14): Rebilda® DC+Futurabond DC; Grupo 2 (n=14): RelyX ARC+Adper Scothbond Multipropósito Plus. Seguidamente, diez especímenes de cada grupo se cortaron para ser sometidos al Test de Push-Out. Los restantes 4 especímenes de cada grupo se prepararon para Microscopia Electronica de Barrido con el fin de evaluar la formación de prolongaciones resinosas en la interface poste-cemento-dentina. El grupo 2 obtuvo mejores resultados al compararlo al Grupo 1 en cuanto a resistencia de unión y en formación de prolongaciones resinosas, pero no hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p>0.05). Se concluyó que el Sistema de Postes REBILDA® promueve una adecuada resistencia de unión a dentina intrarradicular.

urrently there is controversy in the literature about clinical and adhesive effectiveness with respect to adhesive systems aimed to root reinforcement. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the Push-Out bond strength between the Rebilda® post system and the intraradicular dentine. Thus, 28 unirradicular teeth were used, cut and standardized in 16 mm. The root segments were submitted to endodontic treatment; and then randomly divided into two groups, Group 1 (n = 14): Rebilda® DC + Futurabond DC; Group 2 (n = 14): RelyX ARC + Adper Scothbond Multipurpose Plus. Ten specimens from each group were submitted to the Push-Out Test. The remaining 4 specimens from each group were prepared for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) in order to evaluate the formation of resinous extensions at the post-cement-dentin interface. Group 2 showed better results when compared to Group 1 regarding bond strength and in formation of resinous extensions or tags, but there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). It was concluded that the REBILDA® Post System promotes adequate bond strength to intraradicular dentin.

The effects of EGCG and EGCG-3Me on the bonding stability of dentin-adhensive to intraradicular dentin / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl)-gallate (EGCG-3Me) on the anti-bacterial effect and the stability of intraradicular dentin-adhesive interface.Methods:EGCG and EGCG3Me with the concentration of 400 μg/ml were incorporated into Single Bond 2 (SB2) respectively to obtain 2 modified adhesives E-SB2 and E3-SB2.Confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM) and ultraviolet spectrophotometry were used to evaluate the anti-bacterial effect of the modified adhesives.Micro-Raman spectrum was used to test the degree of conversion (DC) of the adhesives.Push-out bond strength test was conducted to examine the immediate bond strength and the bond strength after themocycling.Results:E-SB2 and E3-SB2 both showed inhibiting effect on the proliferation of E.faecalis,while E3-SB2 performed stronger inhibiting effect.DC and the immediate push-out bond strength of SB2 were not decreased with the incorporation of EGCG or EGCG-3Me(P ＞ 0.05).E-SB2 and E3-SB2 showed significantly higher push-out bond strengths than that of SB2 (P ＜ 0.05) after themocycling.Conclusion:EGCG and EGCG-3Me modified adhesives have anti-bacterial effect and can enhance the stability of bonding between intraradicular dentin and adhesive,EGCG-3Me may have stronger anti-bacterial effect.

Effect of dimethyl sulfoxide on bond durability of fiber posts cemented with etch-and-rinse adhesives

PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to investigate whether use of an adhesive penetration enhancer, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), improves bond stability of fiber posts to root dentin using two two-step etch-and-rinse resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty human maxillary central incisor roots were randomly divided into 4 groups after endodontic treatment and post space preparation, based on the fiber post/cement used with and without DMSO pretreatment. Acid-etched root dentin was treated with 5% DMSO aqueous solution for 60 seconds or with distilled water (control) prior to the application of Excite DSC/Variolink II or One-Step Plus/Duo-link for post cementation. After micro-slicing the bonded root dentin, push-out bond strength (P-OBS) test was performed immediately or after 1-year of water storage in each group. Data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA and Student's t-test (α=.05). RESULTS: A significant effect of time, DMSO treatment, and treatment × time interaction were observed (P.05). CONCLUSION: DMSO-wet bonding might be a beneficial method in preserving the stability of resin-dentin bond strength over time when fiber post is cemented with the tested etch-and-rinse adhesive cements.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of various irrigation regiments on the push out bond strength of MTA Fillapex sealer to dentin. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Conservative dentistry and Endodontics, Hitkarni Dental College and Hospital (HDCH), between November 2014 and December 2014. Methodology: Thirty single-rooted premolar teeth were taken. Roots were divided into 3 groups according to the irrigation regiment used and instrumented using 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) or 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) irrigants as chemical auxiliary substances and 17% Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or 50% citric acid for smear layer removal. Finally, CHX solution was used as the final irrigant in one group. Root canals were filled with gutta-percha and MTA fillapex (Angelus, Londrina, PR, Brazil),a resin-based sealer. Bond strength was measured by the push-out test. Data were statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: In the present study, specimens in G1 (NaOCl + EDTA + Distilled Water) & G2 (CHX + EDTA+ Distilled Water) group show lower push out bond strength values than G3 (NaOCl+ EDTA + Citric Acid +CHX) group. Conclusion: Thus, within the limitations of this study, we conclude that the different irrigation regiments did affect the push out bond strength of MTA Fillapex sealer to dentin. However the significant changes were not found between the various groups.

Comparative research for micro-push-out bond strengths of glass fiber posts treated by poly-dopamine or silane coupling agent / 北京大学学报(医学版)

Objective:To evaluate the micro-push-out bond strengths of prefabricated glass fiber posts with poly-dopamine functionalized to root dentin using resin cements, contrasted with silane treatment. Methods:In the study, 30 glass fiber posts were randomly divided into 3 groups ( 10 posts in each group) for different surface treatments. Group 1, treated with poly-dopa; Group 2, treated with silane coupling agent for 60s;Group 3, no surface treatment (Control group). The 30 extracted human, single-rooted teeth were endodontically treated and a 9 mm post space was prepared in each tooth with post drills provided by the manufacturer. Following post cementation, the specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 ℃ for 7 days. The micro-push-out bond strengths were tested using a universal testing machine (0. 5 mm/min), and the failure modes were examined with a stereomicroscope. The data of the three groups were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test(α= 0. 05). Results:The bond strengths were (7. 909 ± 1. 987) MPa for Group 1, (5. 906 ± 0. 620) MPa for Group 2, and 4. 678 ± 0. 910 MPa for Group 3 . The bond strength of poly-dopamine group was significantly higher than that of the silane group (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Contrasted with silane treatment, surface poly-dopamine functionaliza-tion was confirmed to be a more reliable method for improving the bond strength of resin luting agents to fiber posts.

Effect of Silane Type and Air-Drying Temperature on Bonding Fiber Post to Composite Core and Resin Cement

This study evaluated the influence of silane type and temperature of silane application on push-out bond strength between fiberglass posts with composite resin core and resin cement. One hundred and sixty fiberglass posts (Exacto, Angelus) had the surface treated with hydrogen peroxide 24%. Posts were divided in 8 groups according to two study factors: air-drying temperature after silane application (room temperature and 60 ºC) and silane type: three pre-hydrolyzed - Silano (Angelus), Prosil (FGM), RelyX Ceramic Primer (3M ESPE) and one two-component silane - Silane Coupling Agent (Dentsply). The posts (n=10) for testing the bond strength between post and composite core were centered on a cylindrical plastic matrix and composite resin (Filtek Z250 XT, 3M ESPE) that was incrementally inserted and photoactivated. Eighty bovine incisor roots (n=10) were prepared for testing the bond strength between post and resin cement (RelyX U100, 3M ESPE) and received the fiberglass posts. Push-out test was used to measure the bond strength. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test (a=0.05). ANOVA revealed that temperature and silane had no influence on bond strength between composite core and post. However, for bond strength between post and resin cement, the temperature increase resulted in a better performance for Silane Coupling Agent, Silano and RelyX Ceramic Primer. At room temperature Silane Coupling Agent showed the lowest bond strength. Effect of the warm air-drying is dependent on the silane composition. In conclusion, the use of silane is influenced by wettability of resinous materials and pre-hydrolyzed silanes are more stable compared with the two-bottle silane.

Este estudo avaliou a influência do tipo de silano e a aplicação de temperatura no silano na resistência de união por push-out entre pinos de fibra de vidro com núcleo de preenchimento em resina composta e cimento resinoso. Cento e sessenta pinos de fibra de vidro (Exacto, Angelus, Londrina, PR, Brasil) receberam tratamento de superfície com peróxido de hidrogênio a 24%. Os pinos foram divididos em 8 grupos com dois fatores em estudo: temperatura de secagem de ar após a aplicação do silano (temperatura ambiente e 60 ºC) e o tipo de silano: três pré-hidrolisados - Silano (Angelus), Prosil (FGM), RelyX Ceramic Primer (3M ESPE) e um silano de dois frascos - Silane Coupling Agent (Dentsply). Para o teste de resistência de união entre pino e núcleo de preenchimento, os pinos (n=10) foram centralizados em uma matriz plástica cilíndrica e a resina composta (Filtek Z250 XT, 3M ESPE) foi incrementalmente inserida e fotopolimerizada. Para o teste de resistência de união entre pino e cimento resinoso (RelyX U100, 3M ESPE) 80 raízes de incisivos bovinos (n=10) foram preparadas e receberam os pinos de fibra de vidro. Teste de push-out foi usado para mensurar a resistência de união. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA fatorial seguido do teste de Tukey (a=0,05). Temperatura e silano não tiveram influência na resistência de união entre núcleo de preenchimento e pino. Entretanto, para a resistência de união entre pino e cimento resinoso, o aumento da temperatura resultou em um melhor desempenho para Silane Coupling Agent, Silano e RelyX Ceramic Primer. Além disso, na temperatura ambiente Silane Coupling Agent teve a menor resistência de união. O efeito da secagem de ar quente é dependente da composição do silano. Concluindo, o uso do silano é influenciado pela molhabilidade dos materiais resinosos e os silanos pré-hidrolisados são mais estáveis comparados ao silano de dois frascos.

Influência de diferentes métodos de condicionamento superficial em pinos pré-fabricados resinosos fibro-reforçados em vidro e quartzo na resistência adesiva a compósito de polimerização dual: teste de push-out / Influence of different pretreatments in glass and quartz fiber posts on the bond strength of a dual-cure resin core material: push-out test

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma avaliação tridimensional da rugosidade superficial em 3 tipos de pinos de fibra - DT LightPost®, FRC Postec Plus® e Transluma Post™ - submetidos a diferentes tratamentos de superfície e avaliar os efeitos dos pré-tratamentos na resistência adesiva a um compósito de presa dual Biscore™. Os tratamentos de superfície foram: imersão em ácido hidrofluorídrico, jateamento com óxido de alumínio a 50µm, imersão em peróxido de hidrogênio, jateamento com óxido de alumínio a 50µm seguido de imersão em ácido hidrofluorídrico e jateamento com óxido de alumínio a 50µm seguido de imersão em peróxido de hidrogênio. No experimento 1, 75 pinos foram divididos em 3 grupos (n = 25), de acordo com seu fabricante e subdivididos em cinco subgrupos. A rugosidade superficial foi medida usando um rugosímetro tridimensional e analisada com o software de análise 3D. Os valores de rugosidade foram obtidos antes e após diferentes tratamentos de superfície na área dos mesmos corpos-de-prova. Para o experimento 2, foram utilizados os mesmos corpos-de-prova, os mesmos grupos e subgrupos do experimento 1, tendo sido adicionado o subgrupo de controle (n=90) e a resistência adesiva a um compósito presa dual Biscore™ foi mensurada através de um teste push-out. A resistência adesiva foi medida em uma máquina universal de ensaios, com uma célula de carga tipo SLBL-5kN em uma velocidade de 0,5 mm / min. Os resultados do experimento 1 foram analisados através de um teste estatístico t-Student. Jateamento e jateamento seguido de imersão em ácido hidrofluorídrico produziram um aumento estatisticamente significante na rugosidade, contudo somente o tratamento por jateamento proporcionou um aumento significativo nos valores de rugosidade. Os resultados do experimento 2 foram obtidos através de um um teste t-unilateral de hipótese com variância desconhecida. Concluiu-se que o jateamento com óxido de alumínio a 50μm em uma distância de 30 mm a 2,5 bar ...

The aim of this study was to perform a tridimensional surface roughness test evaluation of different surface treatments to 3 types of fiber posts - DT LightPost®, FRC Postec Plus® e Transluma Post™ - and evaluate the effects of the different pretreatments on the bond strength of a dual-cure resin core material Biscore™. The different surface treatments were: immersion in hydrofluoric acid, sandblasting abrasion with 50 µ alumina particles, immersion in hydrogen peroxide, sandblasting abrasion with 50 µ alumina particles followed by immersion in hydrofluoric acid and sandblasting abrasion with 50 µ alumina particles followed by immersion in hydrogen peroxide. In the first experiment seventy five fiber posts were divided into 3 groups (n = 25), according to their manufacturer and subdivided into 5 subgroups. Surface roughness was measured using a tridimensional surface roughness test and analyzed with 3D analysis software. Surface roughness was obtained before and after the different surface treatments at the same post area. In the second experiment the same samples divided in groups and subgroups were used, but a control group (no treatment) was added (n = 90) and the bond strength to a composite resin core material Biscore™ was measured using a push-out design. The interfacial push-out bond strength was measured in a universal testing machine, with a load cell type SLBL-5kN at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Results in experiment 1 were statistically analyzed using Student´s t-Test. Sandblasting and sandblasting followed by immersion in hydrofluoric acid produced a significant increase in roughness, but the sandblasting treatment was able to provide a significant roughness increase. Results in experiment 2 were statistically analysed using one-sided t-Test of Hypothesis with unknown variance. It was concluded that sandblasting airborne-particle abrasion with alumina 50µ at a distance of 30 mm at 2.5 bars pressure for 5 seconds was ...

Resistência de união por push-out e selamento marginal de sistemas adesivos convencionais e autocondicionantes utilizados para cimentação de pinos de vidro intrarradiculares em diferentes profundidades / Push-out bond strength and sealing ability of etch-and-rinse and self-etching adhesives used for fiberglass dowel bonding at different depths of the root canals

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resistência de união por push-out e o selamento marginal de sistemas adesivos convencionais e autocondicionantes utilizados para cimentação de pinos de vidro intrarradiculares em diferentes profundidades. Noventa raízes de pré-molares humanos (45 para os testes de push-out e 45 para os de microinfiltração) tiveram os canais preparados com profundidades padronizadas e foram aleatoriamente distribuídas em 3 grupos(n = 15) de acordo com o sistema adesivo utilizado: Adper Scotchbond Multi Purpose (3M ESPE); Adper Single Bond 2 (3M ESPE); Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray). As raízes receberam pino de fibra de vidro com cimento resinoso. Para os testes de push-out, as raízes foram cortadas radialmente em 3 diferentes profundidades para obter cortesseriados de aproximadamente 1 mm de espessura. Uma máquina de ensaios mecânicos (Emic) foi utilizada para os ensaios de push-out. Para os testes de microinfiltração, as raízes foram seladas e imersas em solução de azul de metileno a 2%, pH 7,0 por 2 horas. As raízes foram cortadas radialmente em 3 diferentes profundidades para obter cortes seriados com espessura de 1 mm e a microinfiltração foi avaliada em lupa estereoscópica por 3 examinadores calibrados que atribuíram escores de 0 a 3. A Análise de Variância e o teste de Tukey para os testes de push-out mostraram que não houve diferenças significativas entre os sistemas adesivos (p >0,05), mas houve entre as profundidades, com maiores valores de resistência de união para o terço cervical e apical. Para os ensaios de microinfiltração, os testes de Kruskal-Wallis e de Friedman mostram que não houve diferença significativa entre os adesivos e entre as profundidades (p > 0,05). Os sistemas adesivos convencionais e autocondicionantes apresentaram semelhante resistência de união e de selamento marginal para a cimentação de pinos de fibra de vidro, havendo maior resistência de união nos terços mais cervicais e apicais dos canais.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the push-out bond strength and sealing ability of etch-and-rinse and selfetching adhesives used for fiberglass dowel bonding at different depths of the root canals. Ninety human pre-molar roots (45 for the push-out tests and 45 for the microleakage tests) had their canals prepared with standardized depthsand were randomly allocated into 3 groups (n = 15) according to the adhesive system used: Adper Scotchbond Multi Purpose (3M ESPE); Adper Single Bond 2 (3M ESPE); Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray). They were restored with fiberglass dowel and resin cement. For the push-out tests, the roots were radially cut at 3 different depths to obtain serial cutswith approximately a thickness of 1 mm. A universal testing machine (Emic) was used for the push-out test. For the microleakage group, roots were sealed, and immersed in a 2% methylene blue solution, pH 7.0, for a 2 hours period. Roots were radially sectioned at 3 different depths to obtain serial cuts with a thickness of approximately 1mm and microleakage was evaluated in stereoscopic loupe by three calibrated evaluators who attributed scores from 0 to 3. The Analysis of Variance and the Tukey test for the push-out tests showed no significant differences among adhesive systems (p > 0.05), but differences among the depths with higher bond strength at the cervical and apical depth.For microleakage, Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman tests showed that there was no significant difference among the adhesive systems tested or different depths of cut (p > 0.05). The total-etching and self-etching adhesive systems had similar bond strength and ability of marginal sealing for the cementation of fiberglass dowels and that higher bond strength was obtained at the most cervical and apical depths of the root canals.

Comparison of push-out bond strength of post according to cement application methods / 대한치과보존학회지

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the push-out bond strengths of resin cement/fiber post systems to post space dentin using different application methods of resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty extracted human premolars were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups according to the technique used to place the cement into root canal: using lentulo-spiral instrument (group Lentulo), applying the cement onto the post surface (group Direct), and injecting the material using a specific elongation tip (group Elongation tip). After shaping and filling of the root canal, post space was drilled using Rely-X post drill. Rely-X fiber post was seated using Rely-X Unicem and resin cement was light polymerized. The root specimens were embedded in an acrylic resin and the specimens were sectioned perpendicularly to the long axis using a low-speed saw. Three slices per each root containing cross-sections of coronal, middle and apical part of the bonded fiber posts were obtained by sectioning. The push-out bond strength was measured using Universal Testing Machine. Specimens after bond failure were examined using operating microscope to evaluate the failure modes. RESULTS: Push-out bond strengths were statistically influenced by the root regions. Group using the elongation tip showed significantly higher bond strength than other ways. Most failures occurred at the cement/dentin interface or in a mixed mode. CONCLUSIONS: The use of an elongation tip seems to reduce the number of imperfections within the self-adhesive cement interface compared to the techniques such as direct applying with the post and lentulo-spiral technique.

Qualidade das obturações adesivas realizadas com o sistema Resilon/Epiphany SE: análise sob microscopia confocal e ensaio push-out / Quality of adhesive root-fillings performed with Resilon/Epiphany SE system: evaluation under confocal microscopy and push-out assay

O presente estudo foi planejado com o objetivo de verificar a qualidade das obturações endodônticas realizadas com o novo cimento auto-adesivo Epiphany SE. Para isso, dois experimentos distintos foram realizados para observar a qualidade da adaptação interfacial entre o material e a dentina e ao ensaio de resistência ao cisalhamento por extrusão (pushout). Uma amostra de 36 caninos superiores humanos foi usada para compor três grupos experimentais: G1: canais obturados com Sistema Resilon/Epiphany; G2: canais obturados com Sistema Resilon/Epiphany SE e G3: obturados com material não-adesivo convencional (guta-percha/AH Plus). Os dentes foram acessados e instrumentados de modo padronizado e obturados seguindo as recomendações dos fabricantes. Os dentes foram então cortados em quatro secções transversais e um polimento metalográfico básico foi realizado para permitir a observação da qualidade da adaptação interfacial entre o material obturador e a parede dentinária por meio de microscopia confocal a laser. A integridade interfacial de cada secção foi determinada pela razão entre o perímetro total do canal radicular e o perímetro relativo às regiões dos gaps. Após essa etapa, as mesmas amostras foram submetidas a um ao ensaio de resistência ao cisalhamento por extrusão (push-out). Em relação à integridade interfacial, os testes estatísticos não-paramétricos (teste de Kruskal-Wallis e teste de Dunn) revelaram resultados significantemente inferiores para ambos os grupos nos quais as obturações adesivas foram empregadas (P < 0,05). Seguindo o mesmo padrão, os testes paramétricos mostraram que o grupo obturado pelo material convencional não-adesivo revelou uma resistência ao cisalhamento por extrusão significantemente superior frente grupos nos quais as obturações adesivas foram empregadas (P < 0,05). Adicionalmente, foi realizado um teste de correlação de Spearman o qual revelou uma correlação negativa entre o grau de desaptação interfacial e a resistência ao ensaio de extrusão por cisalhamento. O presente estudo pode concluir que a qualidade das obturações endodônticas adesivas foi deficiente mesmo quando dentes com características anatômicas simples foram obturados em condições laboratoriais bem controladas.

The present study was designed to assess the quality of adhesive root-fillings performed with the new self-adhesive Epiphany sealer (Epiphany SE). Experiments were performed to evaluate both the quality of the interfacial adaptation between the root-filling and dentinal walls and the bond strength. A sampling of 36 human maxillary canine teeth were used to create three experimental groups: Group 1: root canals obturated with the adhesive root-filling (Resilon/Epiphany); Group 2: root canals obturated with the selfadhesive Epiphany sealer (Resilon/Epiphany SE), and Group 3: root canals obturated with the traditional non-adhesive root-filling (gutta-percha/AH Plus). The teeth were accessed and instrumented in a standardized way, and the root-filling procedures were performed following the manufacturer's recommendations. Four cross-sections were obtained from each root and a standard metallographic preparation was performed to allow the observation of the dentin/root-filling interface through confocal laser scanning microscopic. The interfacial integrity of each sample was calculated by the ratio between the perimeter of the gapcontaining regions and the entire perimeter of the root canal circumference. Subsequently, the same samples were submitted to a push-out test. The quality of the interfacial adaptation was significantly worse (P < 0.05) in both groups of adhesive root-fillings (Kruskall-Wallis test and Dunn's multiple comparison test). Following the same pattern, parametric statistical analysis showed significant lower resistance to the push-out test for both groups of adhesive root-fillings (P < 0.05). In addition, a correlation test revealed a negative correlation between the integrity of the interfacial adaptation and the resistance to the push-out assay. It was possible to conclude that, in general, the quality of the adhesive root-fillings is compromised even when teeth with simple anatomic features were filled under well-controlled laboratorial conditions

Effect of the additional etching procedure on push-out bond strength of one-step resin cement / 대한치과보존학회지

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of additional etching procedure prior to Maxcem resin cement application in indirect restoration cementation using push-out bonding strength. One hundred and two extracted human molars were used to make indirect resin restorations of gold inlay and Synfony. These restorations were cemented using Maxcem and Variolink II. Additional etching procedures were done for one group with Maxcem. Three groups have 17 specimens in both restoration types. Push-out bond strength was measured using multi-purpose tester and calculated for bonding strength per sqaure-millimeter area. The mean bonding strength values were compared using SPSS 12.0K program for one-way ANOVA and Scheffe's Test with 95% significance. Under the condition of this study, the additional etching procedure prior to usage of Maxcem resulted in reduced bond strength for both of restoration types.
