Effect of time and dental substrate on the bond strength of a universal adhesive system: in vitro study / Efeito do tempo e do substrato dental na resistência de união de um sistema adesivo universal: estudo in vitro

Introduction: Dentin adhesives provide union between the dental substrate and composite resin, but this union can be influenced by the cleaning agent. Objective: Evaluate the use of ozonated water as a cavity cleaning solution. Material and method: 40 bovine dental crowns were selected, divided into four groups: AD (dentin cleaning with distilled water) and AO (dentin cleaning with ozonized distilled water). Each group was divided into two storage periods (24h and 30 days) kept at 37 °C. The selected universal system adhesive was employed according to the manufacturer's instructions and light cured for 20 seconds. At that time, three cylinders were made (Tygon matrix with an internal diameter of 2 mm and a height of 2 mm) of composite resin in the crowns in the cervical, médium, and incisal regions and light cured for 30 seconds. After storage, the bonding strength was tested by micro-shear, and fracture type analysis was performed. The data were submitted to statistical analysis using the Shapiro-Wilk test with a significance level of 95%, ANOVA, and Turkey. Result: There was a statistically significant difference between the bond strength values, only in the intergroup analysis for the time of 24 hours, between the middle third of the groups (LDAO24 = 2.70 (± 2.39); LDAO30 = 3.82 (± 2.31)). The predominant fracture type for both groups was an adhesive fracture, except in the medium and incisal thirds of the AD, which was a cohesive dentin fracture. Conclusion: The utilization of ozone did not change the bond strength adhesive.

Introdução: Os adesivos dentinários proporcionam união entre o substrato dental e resina composta, porém esta união pode ser influenciada pelo agente de limpeza. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência na resistência de união (RU) de um sistema adesivo universal associado à da água ozonizada como solução de limpeza cavitária. Material e método: Foram selecionadas 40 coroas de dentes anteriores bovinos divididos em 4 grupos: AD (limpeza dentinária com água destilada) e AO (limpeza dentinária com água destilada ozonizada). Cada grupo foi subdividido em outros dois grupos de acordo com o tempo de armazenamento (24h e 30 dias) armazenados a 37ºC. A limpeza dentinária foi realizada por meio de uma seringa de 60mL de cada solução e fricção por 10 segundos. O sistema adesivo universal selecionado foi aplicado de acordo com as instruções do fabricante e fotoativado por 20 segundos. Em seguida, foram confeccionados 3 cilindros (matriz Tygon com um diâmetro interno de 2 mm e 2 mm de altura) de resina composta nas coroas nas regiões cervical, média e incisal e fotoativados por 30 segundos. Após o armazenamento foi realizado o teste de RU por microcisalhamento e análise do tipo de fratura. Os dados coletados foram submetidos a análise estatística através do teste de Shapiro Wilk com nível de significância de 95%, ANOVA e Tukey. Resultado: Houve diferença estatística significativa entre os valores de RU apenas na análise intergrupos para o tempo de 24 horas, entre o terço médio dos grupos (LDAO24 = 2,70 (± 2,39); LDAO30 = 3,82 (± 2,31)). O tipo de fratura predominante para ambos os grupos em todos os tempos foi de fratura adesiva, com exceção ao terço médio e incisal do AD, que foi fratura coesiva de dentina. Conclusão: A utilização do ozônio não alterou a resistência de união adesiva.

How does radiotherapy affect the adhesion of universal adhesive to enamel and dentin? A qualitative and quantitative analysis? / Efecto de la radioterapia a la adhesión del adhesivo universal al esmalte y dentina? Un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo?

Abstract This study investigated the shear bond strength (SBS) of a universal adhesive to enamel/dentin; 1) that had undergone radiotherapy (RT) and 2) that were readily restored and had undergone RT. Enamel and dentin surfaces were obtained from 90 intact human molars. They were randomly divided into six groups according to the presence and timing of irradiation (RT0:no radiotherapy/control, RT1:RT before restoration, RT2:RT after restoration groups) and adhesive application modes (etch&rinse/ER, self-etch/SE)(n=15). A universal adhesive and resin composites were applied. The radiotherapy protocol was conducted with 60 Gy. The SBS test was subjected (1mm/min) and failure type analysis was performed. The resin-enamel/dentin interfaces were examined. Data were statistically analyzed. For enamel and dentin, the presence and timing of irradiation did not significantly influence the SBS values (p>0.05). For enamel, significantly higher SBS values were obtained using etch&rinse mode than self-etch mode (p<0.05). The predominant failure was mixed type. Loss of enamel prisms and obliterated irregular dentinal tubules were found for the radiotherapy-treated specimens. Resin tags were clearer in the irradiated enamel treated with ER than SE. Irradiation with different timings did not influence the bond strength to enamel and dentin, negatively. Irrespective of radiotherapy, the etch&rinse mode caused higher bond strength to enamel than self-etch mode.

Resumen Este estudio investigó la fuerza de unión al cizallamiento (SBS) de un adhesivo universal al esmalte/dentina en piezas que se habían sometido a radioterapia (RT). Se obtuvieron superficies de esmalte y dentina de 90 molares humanos intactos. Se dividieron aleatoriamente en seis grupos según la presencia y el momento de la irradiación (RT0: sin radioterapia/control, RT1: RT antes de la restauración, RT2: RT después de la restauración considerando los modos de aplicación del adhesivo (n=15). Se aplicó un adhesivo universal y resinas compuestas. El protocolo de radioterapia se realizó con 60 Gy. Se sometió a la prueba adhesiva (1mm/min) y se realizó análisis del tipo de falla. Se examinaron las interfases resina-esmalte/dentina. Los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente. Para el esmalte y la dentina, la presencia y el momento de la irradiación no influyeron significativamente en los valores adhesivos (p>0,05). Para el esmalte, se obtuvieron valores adhesivos significativamente más altos utilizando el modo de grabado y enjuague que el modo de autograbado (p<0,05). La falla predominante fue de tipo mixto. Se encontró pérdida de prismas de esmalte y túbulos dentinarios irregulares obliterados en las muestras tratadas con radioterapia. La irradiación con diferentes tiempos no influyó negativamente en la fuerza de unión al esmalte ni a la dentina. Independientemente de la radioterapia, el modo de grabado ácido y enjuague provocó una mayor fuerza de adhesión al esmalte que el modo de autograbado.

Effect of phytic acid on bond strength and interfacial integrity of universal adhesive to deep dentin

Abstract This study investigated the effect of phytic acid (IP6) in different concentrations and application times on microtensile bond strength (µTBS) and interfacial integrity of universal adhesive to deep dentin. Flat deep dentin surfaces of 48 human molars were either etched with 37% phosphoric acid (PA) for 15 sec (control); or received no acid treatment and universal adhesive was applied directly in a self-etch mode (SE); or divided according to IP6 concentration (C) into two main groups: C1, 0.5%, and C2, 1%. Specimens of IP6 groups were further subdivided into three subgroups according to application time of IP6 (T) where; T1, 15 sec; T2, 30 sec and T3, 60 sec. Single Bond Universal Adhesive was then applied and resin composite blocks were built-up. Forty Specimens were then sectioned to produce resin/dentin beams that were used for µTBS testing using a universal testing machine. The remaining eight specimens were sectioned into slabs that were immersed into ammonical silver nitrate solution and nanoleakage was observed using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The results showed that the application of IP6 in 0.5% and 1% produced significantly higher µTBS and less nanoleakage compared to PA and SE groups. Also, the application of IP6 for 60 sec recorded the highest µTBS and the lowest nanoleakage followed by 30 sec, and 15 sec respectively. Therefore, conditioning of deep dentin with IP6 enhances µTBS and interfacial integrity of universal adhesive to deep dentin in comparison to PA etching or using the universal adhesive in SE mode.

Resumo Este estudo investigou o efeito do ácido fítico (IP6) em diferentes concentrações e tempos de aplicação na resistência da ligação microtensiva (µTBS) e na integridade interfacial do adesivo universal à dentina profunda. As superfícies planas de dentina profunda de 48 molares humanos foram preparadas com ácido fosfórico (PA) a 37% durante 15 seg. (controlo); ou não receberam tratamento ácido e o adesivo universal foi aplicado diretamente em modo de auto-adesivo (SE); ou dividido de acordo com a concentração de IP6 (C) em dois grupos principais: C1, 0,5%, e C2, 1%. Os espécimes dos grupos IP6 foram ainda subdivididos em três subgrupos de acordo com o tempo de aplicação do IP6 (T) em que; T1, 15 seg; T2, 30 seg e T3, 60 seg. Aplicou-se então Single Bond Universal Adhesive e construíram-se blocos compostos de resina. Quarenta espécimes foram então seccionados para produzir feixes de resina/dentina que foram usados para testes µTBS usando uma máquina de testes universal. Os restantes oito espécimes foram seccionados em placas que foram imersas em solução amoniacal de nitrato de prata e observou-se uma nano-infiltração utilizando um microscópio eletrônico de varrimento de emissões de campo (FE-SEM). Os resultados mostraram que a aplicação de IP6 em 0,5% e 1% produziu µTBS significativamente mais elevado e menos nano-infiltração em comparação com os grupos PA e SE. Além disso, a aplicação de IP6 durante 60 seg registou o µTBS mais alto e o mais baixo de nano-infiltração seguido de 30 seg, e 15 seg respectivamente. Portanto, o condicionamento da dentina profunda com IP6 melhora o µTBS e a integridade interfacial do adesivo universal à dentina profunda em comparação com a gravação de PA ou utilizando o adesivo universal no modo SE.

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.

Clinical Effectiveness of Composite Resin Bonded with Universal Adhesive for the Restoration of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions Using Air Abrasion: A Randomised Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT @#Restorative treatment is very challenging for non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) due to functional and structural complexities. The purpose of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the clinical performance of nanocomposite restorations bonded using universal adhesive in self-etch mode with and without air abrasive surface treatment for NCCLs. A total of 70 NCCLs, from a group of consenting patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, were recruited for the study. The study was carried out following CONSORT guidelines. Block randomisation was done for equal allocation of lesions into; Group 1 (surface treatment with alumina air abrasion) and Group 2 (control group without mechanical surface treatment). The lesions were restored with nanocomposite using a universal bonding agent in self-etch mode. The clinical performance of the restorations was evaluated by two examiners using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. A Chi-square test was performed for inter-group comparison. Cochran’s Q test and Dunn’s post hoc analysis were used for intra-group comparison. The inter-group comparison revealed no statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group for all the parameters assessed. With the intra-group analysis, it was found that there was a significant decrease in the performance of the restorations concerning marginal staining, marginal adaptation and surface texture during the evaluation period (p < 0.05). However, all of them demonstrated clinically acceptable performance. According to the results of this RCT, it was concluded that airborne particle abrasion of NCCLs did not improve the clinical performance of nanocomposite resin bonded using universal adhesive.

Clinical application and prospects of zirconia bonding agent / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Zirconia ceramic was considered as one of the optimal materials in prosthodontics and widely used in daily clinical treatment for its features, such as aesthetic properties, biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. Ideal bond strength and durability are necessary for the restoration to achieve satisfied clinical performance. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review zirconia and common zirconia bonding agents, the physical and chemical properties of zirconia ceramics, the clinical operating process standard, the common zirconia bonding agents and their bonding performance. METHODS: We searched the articles from March 2005 to March 2020 in PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang databases with the key words of “zirconia; surface treatment; universal adhesive; self-adhesive resin cement; bonding strength” in Chinese and English. After screening according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final 36 included articles were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Zirconia has excellent physical and chemical properties with hydrophobic surface, so it is difficult to form a proper bonding surface with the substrate. At present, the combination of physical sand blasting and chemical reaction is the most common treatment. The sand blasting can effectively increase the reaction area. In the aspect of chemical bonding, the bond strength of the self-adhesive resin cement can be significantly improved by both the universal adhesive and zirconia primer after 24 hours of water storage; however, the durability of universal adhesive is better than that of zirconia primer. As common sense, 37% phosphoric acid is daily used on tooth surface before bonding procedure, which can prohibit chemical reaction to zirconia. Sand blasting was considered as one of the most practical way to physically increase the surface for 10-MDP contained primers or universal adhesives chemically reacted with zirconia.

In Vitro Effect of Temperature on Dentin Bond Strength of Universal Adhesive Systems / Efecto In Vitro de la temperatura sobre la resistencia de unión de los sistemas adhesivos universales a la dentina

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of two universal adhesives (Universal Single Bond and All Bond Universal) and a two- step self-etch adhesive system (Clearfil SE Bond) to dentine at various temperatures. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty dentin specimens were divided randomly to 12 groups, according to adhesive systems (Universal Single Bond and All Bond Universal, Clearfil SE Bond) and temperature ( 4ºC, 20 ºC, 36ºC, 55ºC) used. Dentin specimens were prepared (n :10, adhesives were applied, and composite cylinders were polymerized. Statistical analysis of the SBS data was performed using Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's Honestly Significant Differences post-hoc test. Results: The Clearfil SE Bond was shown to have higher SBS than the universal adhesives at all temperatures; however, there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). In both groups, the lowest SBS values were observed in the samples at 4°C while the highest SBS values were observed in the samples at 55°C. In this case, there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusions: The results suggest that the effectiveness of an adhesive may increase if it is preheated at 36°C or above before use instead of being used immediately after removal from the refrigerator or at room temperature.

RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la resistencia al cizallamiento (SBS) de dos adhesivos universales (Universal Single Bond y All Bond Universal) y un sistema de adhesivo de autograbado de dos pasos (Clearfil SE Bond) a la dentina en diferentes temperaturas. Materiales y métodos: Ciento veinte muestras de dentina se dividieron aleatoriamente en 12 grupos, de acuerdo con los sistemas adhesivos (Universal Single Bond y All Bond Universal, Clearfil SE Bond) y la temperatura (4ºC, 20ºC, 36ºC, 55ºC) utilizada. Se prepararon muestras de dentina (n: 10), se aplicaron los sistemas adhesivos y se polimerizaron los cilindros compuestos. El análisis estadístico de los datos de SBS se realizó utilizando el análisis de varianza de dos vías (ANOVA) y la prueba post-hoc de Tukey's. Resultados: El Clearfil SE Bond mostró tener un SBS más alto que los adhesivos universales en todas las temperaturas evaluadas; sin embargo, no hubo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (P> 0.05). En todos los grupos, los valores más bajos de SBS se observaron en las muestras a 4°C, mientras que los valores de SBS más altos fueron obtenidos en las muestras a 55°C (P <0.05). Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren que la efectividad de un adhesivo puede aumentar si se precalienta a 36°C o superior, antes de usarlo inmediatamente después de sacarlo del refrigerador o a temperatura ambiente.

Comparison of Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Buccal Tube Bonded to Zirconia Crown after Using Two Different (10-MDP)- Containing Adhesive Systems

Background: Use of zirconia in cosmetic dentistry has expanded which coincided with a new trend of adult orthodontics; therefore it is very important to find an accepted method and material of bonding orthodontic appliances affectively to zirconia surface. Materials and methods: The sample was composed of 30 monolithic zirconia crowns of the lower right first molar. All samples were treated first by sandblasting with aluminum oxide particle 50 μm, then they were divided into 3 equal groups (the 1st group was the control, while 2nd and 3rd were the test groups), containing 10 crowns each, according to the type of adhesive system used; conventional light cure orthodontic bonding system (TransbondTM XT Primer/ TransbondTM XT composite resin) was used in the control group, while 2 different (10-MDP)-containing adhesive systems (Single Bond Universal adhesive/ TransbondTM XT composite resin, TheraCem dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement) were used in the test groups, buccal tube of lower right first molar (Ortho-Cast M-Series, Dentaurum, Germany) was bonded on the buccal surface of each zirconia crown in all the groups using one of the adhesive systems. Results: The Single Bond Universal group had the highest mean value of shear bond strength (16.299 MPa), followed by TheraCem group (15.373 Mpa), while the control group had the least value (5.337 ± 1.274Mpa); however, a highly significant difference in the shear bond strength was found between control and Single Bond Universal, and control and TheraCem groups, while non-significant difference was found between Single Bond Universal and TheraCem groups. Conclusions: The two types of (10-MDP)-containing adhesive systems provide good value of shear bond strength for buccal tubes bonded to zirconia surface, however, Single Bond Universal adhesive/composite resin is the best.

Effects of universal adhesives and resin cement on the shear bond strength of zirconia / 华西口腔医学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To study the effects of universal adhesives and resin cement on the shear bond strength and durability of zirconia ceramics.@*METHODS@#Zirconia ceramics were sintered into 20 mm×10 mm×10 mm and 10 mm×10 mm×10 mm specimens. The experiment was divided into 12 groups. The two types of specimens were bonded using two variants of resin cement (RelyX Ultimate and Clearfil SAC self-adhesive resin cement), universal adhesives (non-adhesive, Scotchbond uni-versal adhesive, and Clearfil SE One adhesive), and storage conditions (water bath and water bath-thermal cycling). The shear bond strengths were tested, and the fracture morphologies were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The cement (F=8.41, P<0.01) and adhesive (F=30.34, P<0.01) exerted a significant effect on the shear bond strength of zirconia, whereas storage condition showed no significant effect on this property (F=1.83, P=0.18). The lowest shear bond strength (14.02 MPa±6.86 MPa) was exhibited by the group treated with RelyX Ultimate resin cement, non-adhesive, and water bath-thermal cycling, whereas the highest shear bond strength (54.12 MPa±8.37 MPa) was displayed by the group treated with RelyX Ultimate resin cement, Scotchbond universal adhesive, and water bath-thermal cycling.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Universal adhesives can improve the durability of the bonding of resin cement to zirconia. If non-self-adhesive resin cement is used without a universal adhe-sive, the durability of the bond will be greatly reduced.

Comparison of bond strengths of ceramic brackets bonded to zirconia surfaces using different zirconia primers and a universal adhesive

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to compare the shear bond strengths of ceramic brackets bonded to zirconia surfaces using different zirconia primers and universal adhesive. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty zirconia blocks (15 × 15 × 10 mm, Zpex, Tosoh Corporation) were polished with 1,000 grit sand paper and air-abraded with 50 µm Al2O3 for 10 seconds (40 psi). They were divided into 5 groups: control (CO), Metal/Zirconia primer (MZ, Ivoclar Vivadent), Z-PRIME Plus (ZP, Bisco), Zirconia Liner (ZL, Sun Medical), and Scotchbond Universal adhesive (SU, 3M ESPE). Transbond XT Primer (used for CO, MZ, ZP, and ZL) and Transbond XT Paste was used for bracket bonding (Gemini clear ceramic brackets, 3M Unitek). After 24 hours at 37°C storage, specimens underwent 2,000 thermocycles, and then, shear bond strengths were measured (1 mm/min). An adhesive remnant index (ARI) score was calculated. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and the Bonferroni test (p = 0.05). RESULTS: Surface treatment with primers resulted in increased shear bond strength. The SU group showed the highest shear bond strength followed by the ZP, ZL, MZ, and CO groups, in that order. The median ARI scores were as follows: CO = 0, MZ = 0, ZP = 0, ZL = 0, and SU = 3 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Within this experiment, zirconia primer can increase the shear bond strength of bracket bonding. The highest shear bond strength is observed in SU group, even when no primer is used.

Bonding of the silane containing multi-mode universal adhesive for lithium disilicate ceramics

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the influence of a multi-mode universal adhesive (MUA) containing silane (Single Bond Universal, 3M EPSE) on the bonding of resin cement to lithium disilicate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty IPS e.max CAD specimens (Ivoclar Vivadent) were fabricated. The surfaces were treated as follows: Group A, adhesive that did not contain silane (ANS, Porcelain Bonding Resin, Bisco); Group B, silane (S) and ANS; Group C, hydrofluoric acid (HF), S, and ANS; Group D, MUA; Group E, HF and MUA. Dual-cure resin cement (NX3, Kerr) was applied and composite resin cylinders of 0.8 mm in diameter were placed on it before light polymerization. Bonded specimens were stored in water for 24 hours or underwent a 10,000 thermocycling process prior to microshear bond strength testing. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Bond strength varied significantly among the groups (p < 0.05), except for Groups A and D. Group C showed the highest initial bond strength (27.1 ± 6.9 MPa), followed by Group E, Group B, Group D, and Group A. Thermocycling significantly reduced bond strength in Groups B, C, and E (p < 0.05). Bond strength in Group C was the highest regardless of the storage conditions (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Surface treatment of lithium disilicate using HF and silane increased the bond strength of resin cement. However, after thermocycling, the silane in MUA did not help achieve durable bond strength between lithium disilicate and resin cement, even when HF was applied.

Influence of different surface treatments on bond strength of novel CAD/CAM restorative materials to resin cement

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of different surface treatments on the bond strength of novel CAD/CAM restorative materials to resin cement by four point bending test. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The CAD/CAM materials under investigation were e.max CAD, Mark II, Lava Ultimate, and Enamic. A total of 400 bar specimens (4×1.2×12 mm) (n=10) milled from the CAD/CAM blocks underwent various pretreatments (no pretreatment (C), hydrofluoric acid (A), hydrofluoric acid + universal adhesive (Scotchbond) (AS), sandblasting (Sb), and sandblasting + universal adhesive (SbS)). The bars were luted end-to-end on the prepared surfaces with a dual curing adhesive resin cement (Variolink N, Ivoclar Vivadent) on the custom-made stainless steel mold. Ten test specimens for each treatment and material combination were performed with four point bending test method. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's test. RESULTS: The surface treatment and type of CAD/CAM restorative material showed a significant effect on the four point bending strength (FPBS) (P < .001). For LDC, AS surface treatment showed the highest FPBS results (100.31 ± 10.7 MPa) and the lowest values were obtained in RNC (23.63 ± 9.0 MPa) for control group. SEM analyses showed that the surface topography of CAD/CAM restorative materials was modified after treatments. CONCLUSION: The surface treatment of sandblasting or HF acid etching in combination with a universal adhesive containing MDP can be suggested for the adhesive cementation of the novel CAD/CAM restorative materials.

Effects of Light-Curing on the Immediate and Delayed Micro-Shear Bond Strength between Yttria-Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal Ceramics and Universal Adhesive

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of light-curing on the immediate and delayed micro-shear bond strength (microSBS) between yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) ceramics and RelyX Ultimate when using Single Bond Universal (SBU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Y-TZP ceramic specimens were ground with #600-grit SiC paper. SBU was applied and RelyX Ultimate was mixed and placed on the Y-TZP surface. The specimens were divided into three groups depending on whether light curing was done after adhesive (SBU) and resin cement application: uncured after adhesive and uncured after resin cement application (UU); uncured after adhesive, but light cured after resin cement (UC); and light cured after adhesive and light cured resin cement (CC). The three groups were further divided depending on the timing of microSBS testing: immediate at 24 hours (UUI, UCI, CCI) and delayed at 4 weeks (UUD, UCD, CCD). microSBS was statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test (P0.05). At 4 weeks, microSBS of UUD group (24.43+/-2.88 MPa) had significantly increased over time compared to UUI group (P<0.05). The SEM results showed mixed failure in UCI and CCI group, while UUI group showed adhesive failure. CONCLUSION: Light-curing of universal adhesive before or after application of RelyX Ultimate resin cement significantly improved the immediate microSBS of resin cement to air-abrasion treated Y-TZP surface. After 4 weeks, the delayed microSBS of the non-light curing group significantly improved to the level of light-cured groups.

Shear bond strength of Universal bonding systems to Ni-Cr alloy / 대한치과보철학회지

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength between Ni-Cr alloy and composite resin using universal adhesive systems coMPared to conventional method using metal primers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For this study, a total of 120 cast commercial Ni-Cr alloy (Vera Bond 2V) disks were embedded in acrylic resin, and their surfaces were smoothed with silicon carbide papers and airborne-particle abrasion. Specimens of each metal were divided into 6 groups based on the combination of metal primers (Metal primer II, Alloy primer, Metal & Zirconia primer, MKZ primer) and universal adhesive systems (Single Bond Universal, All Bond Universal). All specimens were stored in distilled water at 37degrees C for 24 hours. Shear bond strength testing was performed with a universal testing machine at a cross head speed of 1 m/min. Data (MPa) were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the post hoc Tukey's multiple comparison test (alpha=.05). RESULTS: There were significant differences between Single Bond Universal, All Bond Universal, Metal Primer II and Alloy Primer, MKZ Primer, Metal & Zirconia Primer (P<.001). CONCLUSION: Universal Adhesive system groups indicated high shear bond strength value bonded to Ni-Cr alloy than that of conventional system groups using primers except Metal Primer II. Within the limitations of this study, improvement of universal adhesive systems which can be applied to all types of restorations is recommended especially non-precious metal alloy. More research is needed to evaluate the effect of silane inclusion or exclusion in universal adhesive systems.

The effect of saliva decontamination procedures on dentin bond strength after universal adhesive curing

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of multiple decontamination procedures for salivary contamination after curing of a universal adhesive on dentin bond strength according to its etch modes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-two extracted bovine incisors were trimmed by exposing the labial dentin surfaces and embedded in cylindrical molds. A universal adhesive (All-Bond Universal, Bisco) was used. The teeth were randomly divided into groups according to etch mode and decontamination procedure. The adhesive was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions for a given etch mode. With the exception of the control groups, the cured adhesive was contaminated with saliva for 20 sec. In the self-etch group, the teeth were divided into three groups: control, decontamination with rinsing and drying, and decontamination with rinsing, drying, and adhesive. In the etch-and-rinse group, the teeth were divided into four groups: control, decontamination with rinsing and drying, decontamination with rinsing, drying, and adhesive, and decontamination with rinsing, drying, re-etching, and reapplication of adhesive. A composite resin (Filtek Z350XT, 3M ESPE) was used for filling and was cured on the treated surfaces. Shear bond strength was measured, and failure modes were evaluated. The data were subjected to one-way analysis of variation and Tukey's HSD test. RESULTS: The etch-and-rinse subgroup that was decontaminated by rinse, drying, re-etching, and reapplication of adhesive showed a significantly higher bond strength. CONCLUSIONS: When salivary contamination occurs after curing of the universal adhesive, additional etching improves the bond strength to dentin.

Evaluación de la interfase adhesiva obtenida en restauraciones de resina compuesta realizadas con un sistema adhesivo universal utilizado con y sin grabado ácido previo / Evaluation of the adhesive interface obtained in composite restorations performed with a universal adhesive system used with and without acid etching

OBJETIVO El propósito de esta investigación fue realizar un estudio observacional in vitro, al microscopio electrónico de barrido, de la interfase adhesiva diente-restauración lograda al utilizar un sistema adhesivo universal (Single Bond Universal®, 3M/ESPE, Alemania), con grabado ácido previo y con la técnica de autograbado. MATERIALES Y MÉTODO En las piezas dentarias se realizaron cavidades clase V en las caras vestibular y palatina/lingual. En la cavidad vestibular se realizó la técnica de grabado ácido con H3PO4 al 37% en gel, mientras que en la cavidad palatina o lingual no se realizó grabado ácido. Las piezas restauradas fueron mantenidas en una estufa a 37 °C con 100% de humedad relativa durante 48 h, simulando el medio bucal. Las muestras obtenidas fueron cortadas a través de la restauración y acondicionadas para poder ser observadas al microscopio electrónico de barrido, para evaluar la interfase adhesiva en relación con la presencia de brechas y la formación de tags de resina. RESULTADOS Las imágenes fueron observadas con un aumento progresivo hasta los 2.000×, viéndose diferencias microestructurales en la penetración del adhesivo, aunque sin formación de brechas en la interfase adhesiva. CONCLUSIONES Se observó que, al utilizar ambas técnicas de aplicación se obtiene una interfase sin presencia de brechas. En esmalte, se generó una menor penetración del adhesivo en la estructura cristalina con la técnica de autograbado, mientras que en dentina, con la misma técnica, se genera una capa híbrida de menor espesor y tags de resina de menor longitud.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this research was to study the tooth-restoration adhesive interface, using a universal adhesive system (Single Bond Universal, 3M/ESPE, Germany), with the techniques of etching and self-etching using scanning electron microscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Class V cavities were prepared in buccal and palatine/lingual surface, in human teeth. Etching with 37%H3PO4 was performed in the buccal cavity, with no etching being performed in the palatine or lingual cavity. The samples were placed in an oven at 37 °C and 100% humidity for 48 hours, simulating the oral environment. The samples were cut perpendicularly through the restoration and prepared to be observed by scanning electron microscopy, in order to evaluate the adhesive interface in relation to the presence of breaches and the formation of resin tags. RESULTS Images were observed with a gradual increase to 2000×. Microstructural differences were observed in the penetration of the adhesive but with no formation of breaches in the adhesive interface. CONCLUSIONS An unbreached interface is obtained when using both techniques. In enamel, less penetration was present in the crystal structure of the adhesive with the self-etching technique. While in dentin, with the same technique, a less thick hybrid layer and shorter resin tags were observed.
