RESUMO
The influence of methyl mercaptan on the repair bond strength of composites fabricated using self-etch adhesives was investigated. The surface free-energies were determined by measuring the contact angles of test liquids placed on composites that had been immersed in different concentrations of methyl mercaptan (0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 M). To determine the repair bond strength, self-etch adhesives were applied to the aged composite, and then newly added composites were condensed. Ten samples of each specimen were subjected to shear testing at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm min(-1). Samples were analyzed using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD) test. Although the dispersion force of the composites remained relatively constant, their polar force increased slightly as the concentration of methyl mercaptan increased. The hydrogen-bonding forces were significantly higher after immersion in 1.0 M methyl mercaptan, leading to higher surface-free energies. However, the repair bond strengths for the repair restorations prepared from composites immersed in 1.0 M methyl mercaptan were significantly lower than for those immersed in 0.01 and 0.10 M methyl mercaptan. Considering the results of this study, it can be concluded that the repair bond strengths of both the aged and newly added composites were affected by immersion in methyl mercaptan solutions.

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of surface treatment of glass-ionomer (GIC) on bond strength of resin composite and surface free energies. Specimens were prepared and divided into three groups as follows: without pretreatment (control), phosphoric acid etching, and air-abrasion. Adhesive was applied and resin composite was bonded. For conventional GIC, acid etching or air-abrasion increased bond strength (8.5-8.8 MPa) when compared with controls (4.7 MPa); however, RMGIC resulted in significantly lower bond strengths (10.3-15.8 MPa) than in controls (14.2-20.5 MPa). The value of the γS(-) component increased when conventional GIC was treated with phosphoric acid or air-abrasion (60.1-60.5 mJâ¢m(-2)) when compared with controls (52.8 mJâ¢m(-2)).These results indicate that surface treatment of conventional GIC promoted higher bond strength to resin composite and higher Lewis-base components, but decreased bond strength for RMGIC.

This study investigated the effect of a coating material containing S-PRG fillers on the demineralization of bovine enamel and dentin, by measuring changes in the transmitted ultrasonic velocity. Bovine enamel and dentin specimens with and without coating (n=6 for each condition) were cut into blocks, immersed in 0.1 M lactic-acid buffer solution (pH 4.75) for 10 min twice daily throughout the test period, and stored in a demineralising artificial saliva solution (pH 7.0) between treatments. The propagation time of longitudinal ultrasonic waves was measured by a pulser-receiver with a transducer. Data were evaluated using ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test (α=0.05). The sonic velocity decreased over time for specimens stored in demineralising solution; however, coated specimens had a significantly higher sonic velocity than those without coating. The coating material containing pre-reacted glass-ionomer fillers therefore appeared to reduce the demineralisation of enamel and dentin.
