Influence of curing mode of resin luting cements on bond strength to dentin

Self-adhesive, dual-polymerizing resin cements require no treatment to the prepared tooth surfaces before cementation. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of curing mode on bond strength (BS) of three cementing systems to bovine dentin. Methods: The buccal enamel surfaces of 50 bovine incisors were removed to expose dentin and to flat the surface. The teeth were divided into five groups (n=10), which consisted of two resin cements (Multilink and Clearfil SA Cement) that were tested in dual- (halogen light for 40 s) and self-cured modes, and a control (RelyX ARC). Two cylinders of resin cements (1.0 mm X 0.75 mm) were prepared on each bonded dentin surface. After 24h at 37oC, resin cylinders were subjected to micro-shear testing in a universal testing machine (4411/Instron - 0.5 mm/min). Data were statistically analyzed by two-way ANOVA, Tukey and Dunnett`s test (5%). Results: Multilink showed higher BS than those observed on Clearfil SA. Light-curing resulted in higher BS for both Multilink and Clearfil SA. When Multilink was light-cured, no significant difference on BS was demonstrated between it and RelyX ARC. Conclusions: The highest BS values were obtained in control group and light-cured Multilink resin cement (AU)

Efeito da aplicação de primers para metal na resistência de união de cimentos resinosos à zircônia / Effect of application of metal primers on the bond strength of resin cements to zirconia

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de primers para estruturas à base de ligas metálicas na resistência de união (RU) de um cimento convencional e de um cimento autoadesivo à zircônia, utilizando o teste de microcisalhamento. Foram preparadas 60 placas de óxido de zircônia (Cercon), com dimensões de 13 x 5 x 1 mm (comprimento x largura x espessura). Essas placas foram jateadas com óxido de alumínio e divididas em seis grupos experimentais, segundo o tratamento utilizado (n = 10). Os primers e cimentos foram aplicados de acordo com as recomendações dos fabricantes e grupos experimentais. Após o tratamento da zircônia, cilindros de cimento resinoso foram construídos na superfície das placas, utilizando matrizes (Tygon) com 0,7 x 1 mm (diâmetro x altura). As amostras foram armazenadas em água destilada por 24 h à 37ºC e submetidas ao ensaio de microcisalhamento (0,5 mm/min, Instron 4411). Os valores obtidos foram analisados pela ANOVA (2 fatores) e teste Tukey (α = 0.05). Somente a utilização do Metal Primer II aumentou a RU dos dois cimentos resinosos à zircônia. O cimento autoadesivo RelyX U-100 obteve as maiores médias de RU quando comparado ao cimento convencional Bistite II DC, para todos os tratamentos de superfície utilizados. Para se obter maior RU à zircônia Cercon deve ser utilizado o Metal Primer II e o cimento autoadesivo RelyX U-100.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of alloy primers on the bond strength (BS) of conventional resin cement and self-adhesive cement to zirconia using the microshear bond strength test. Sixty ceramic plates, with dimensions of 13 x 5 x 1 mm (length x width x thickness), were prepared . The ceramic plates were air-abraded with aluminum oxide and divided into six experimental groups, according to the treatment used (n = 10). The primers and resin cements were applied according to manufacturers' recommendations and experimental groups. After treatment of the zirconia, resin cement cylinders were constructed on their surfaces by using matrix (Tygon) with 0.7 x 1 mm (diameter x height). The samples were stored in distilled water for 24 hours at 37°C and tested in a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min, Instron 4411). The data were analyzed by ANOVA (two factors) and Tukey test (α = 0.05). Only the use of Metal Primer II increased the bond strength of all resin cements to zirconia. The self-adhesive RelyX U-100 cement promoted higher bond strength values than Bistite II DC, for all surface treatments. To obtain the highest bond strength to zirconia, it must be used the Metal Primer II and the self-adhesive RelyX U-100 resin cement.
