Effect of adhesive primer developed exclusively for heat-curing resin on adhesive strength between plastic artificial tooth and acrylic denture base resin

Despite progress in the development of denture base resin and artificial tooth materials, dental clinics are still plagued with artificial teeth falling off the denture base--due to poor bond strength--after denture delivery. Against this background, this study sought to examine the effect and durability of an adhesive primer developed exclusively for heat-curing resin on the adhesive strength of heat-curing denture base acrylic resin to plastic artificial tooth. Test specimens were divided into four groups according to the treatment method of the artificial tooth's test bonding surface: air abrasion, adhesive primer application, adhesive primer application after air abrasion, and pretreatment only (control). After heat curing of acrylic resin onto the bonding surface, shear test was performed for two storage periods: 24-hour versus 100-day water storage. From the results obtained, it was revealed that the evaluated adhesive primer was significantly effective in increasing adhesive strength between artificial tooth and acrylic resin, although specimens were stored in water for 100 days.     

Does plasma irradiation improve shear bond strength of acrylic resin to cobalt-chromium alloy?

OBJECTIVES: Plasma treatment leads to surface modification such as the improved wettability of dental materials. Studies have suggested that plasma treatment may bring about an improvement in the shear bond strength between cobalt-chromium alloy and self-curing acrylic resin. METHODS: Forty-eight cobalt-chromium alloy specimens were randomly divided into four groups (each of the groups consisted of 12 specimens); air abrasion, adhesive primer, adhesive primer after air abrasion, or after plasma irradiation. A self-curing acrylic resin, 2 mm thick and 3.6 mm in diameter, was processed on all specimens before storage in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 24 h. Shear bond strength values were determined at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data was statistically analyzed using Scheffé's test. RESULTS: Adhesive primer clearly increased the shear bond strength compared with air abrasion (p < 0.05). The synergy of air abrasion and adhesive primer greatly increased the shear bond strength, showing a five-fold increase over air abrasion, or one and a half-fold over adhesive primer. A similar tendency in increase was observed in the adhesive primer after plasma treatment, but to a lower degree. Adhesive primer after plasma treatment showed half the shear bond strength of the treatment of adhesive primer after air abrasion (p < 0.05). Moreover, adhesive primer after plasma treatment showed a lower shear bond strength than adhesive primer alone although the difference was not statistically significant. SIGNIFICANCE: Plasma treatment does not improve adhesion between cobalt-chromium alloy and self-curing acrylic resin.     

Bonding strength between a hard chairside reline resin and a denture base material as influenced by surface treatment

Direct relining of dentures made with hard chairside reline resins is faster than laboratory-processed reline systems and the patient is not without the prosthesis for the time necessary to perform the laboratory procedures. However, a weak bond between the autopolymerizing acrylic reline resins and the denture base material has been observed. This study evaluated the effect of six different surface treatments on the bond strength between a hard chairside reline acrylic resin and a heat-cured acrylic resin. Specimens of the heat-cured acrylic resin were divided into seven groups. One of these groups remained intact. In the other groups, a 10-mm square section was removed from the centre of each specimen. The bonding surfaces were then treated with (i) methyl methacrylate monomer, (ii) isobutyl methacrylate monomer, (iii) chloroform, (iv) acetone, (v) experimental adhesive and (vi) no surface treatment -- control group. Kooliner acrylic resin was packed into the square sections and polymerized. The bonding strength was evaluated by a three-point loading test. The results were submitted to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a Tukey multiple range test at a 5% level of significance. No significant difference was found between the surface treatment with Lucitone 550 monomer or chloroform, but both were stronger than the majority of the other groups. The bond strength provided by all the surface treatments was lower than that of the intact heat-cured resin.     

Investigation into the Effect of Use of Metal Primer on Adhesion of Heat Cure Acrylic Resin to Cast Titanium: An In Vitro Study

The availability of adhesive primers capable of bonding chemically to base metal alloys without well defined passive oxide surface film has been improved significantly over the last decade. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to compare and evaluate the effect of metal primer on adhesion of heat cure acrylic resin to cast titanium. Shear bond strength test was conducted on 80 commercially pure titanium cast metal heat-cure acrylic resin discs treated with different surface treatments. The first group received no surface treatment (group I); the second group was subjected to sandblasting (group II); the third group was treated with bonding agent (alloy primer) (group III) and the fourth was treated with sandblasting and alloy primer (group IV). After the samples were surface treated, acrylic resin was mixed, packed and processed over the test area of cast titanium. Ten specimens of each group were immersed in distilled water for 24 h followed by thermocycling for 20,000 cycles. Shear bond-strength between the heat cure acrylic resin and titanium was evaluated using Instron universal testing machine. Debonded specimens of all the groups were subjected to SEM analysis. The bond failure (MPa) was analyzed by ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple comparison tests. Surface treatment with sandblasting, followed by the application of alloy primer showed maximum shear bond strength before and after thermocycling (24.50 ± 0.59 and 17.39 ± 1.56 MPa respectively).The bond strength values are found to be in decreasing magnitudes as group IV > group III > group II > group I. The following pretreatment to improve the shear bond strength of heat cure acrylic resin to titanium is recommended in order to attain the maximum bond strength in cast titanium frameworks for various prostheses: sandblasting, cleaning in an ultrasonic bath for 10 min and air drying followed by application of a bonding agent uniformly on the sandblasted cast titanium surface before packing with heat cure acrylic resin.     

Effect of surface treatments on the bond strength between composite resin and acrylic resin denture teeth

PURPOSE: This investigation studied the effects of 3 surface treatments on the shear bond strength of a light-activated composite resin bonded to acrylic resin denture teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The occlusal surfaces of 30 acrylic resin denture teeth were ground flat with up to 400-grit silicon carbide paper. Three different surface treatments were evaluated: (1) the flat ground surfaces were primed with methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer for 180 seconds; (2) light-cured adhesive resin was applied and light polymerized according to the manufacturer's instructions; and (3) treatment 1 followed by treatment 2. The composite resin was packed on the prepared surfaces using a split mold. The interface between tooth and composite was loaded at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min until failure. RESULTS: Analysis of variance indicated significant differences between the surface treatments. Results of mean comparisons using Tukey's test showed that significantly higher shear bond strengths were developed by bonding composite resin to the surfaces that were previously treated with MMA and then with the bonding agent when compared to the other treatments. CONCLUSION: Combined surface treatment of MMA monomer followed by application of light-cured adhesive resin provided the highest shear bond strength between composite resin and acrylic resin denture teeth.     

Evaluation of shear bond strength of microwaveable acrylic resins in denture repair: a comparative study

OBJECTIVE: Acrylic denture base fracture is a common mode of failure. Heat-cured, auto-polymerized, visible light-cured, and microwaveable acrylic resins have been used as repair materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of two microwaveable resins (Acron MC and Justi) and one auto-polymerizing acrylic resin (ProBase Cold) as denture repair materials as opposed to a heat-cured one using the non-flasking procedure after thermocycling and photoaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ninety cylindrical specimens were made using the Vertex Rapid Simplified heat-cured acrylic resin. Each repair acrylic resin was poured on the specimen's surface using a cylindrical rubber mold with an internal diameter of 8.5 mm. Thirty specimens for each repair material were made. The control group consisted of 10 specimens from each group which were stored in water for 24 h at 37 degrees C; another 10 specimens from each group were subjected to a thermocycling procedure (5-55 degrees C for 1,000 cycles), while the remaining 10 specimens were subjected to a photoaging procedure. Shear bond strength was measured on a universal testing machine and mode of bond failure was examined under a stereomicroscope. Two-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni post hoc test were performed to identify statistical differences at alpha = 0.05. RESULTS: Justi's shear bond values were significantly inferior to those of ProBase Cold (p <0.05) and Acron MC (p <0.05). ProBase Cold and Acron MC acrylic resins exhibited similar values (p >0.05) of shear bond strength. Thermocycling and photoaging did not affect the shear bond values of any of the materials under investigation (p >0.05). CONCLUSIONS: ProBase Cold and Acron MC exhibited similar shear bond values. Justi repair material exhibited inferior bond strength compared with that of ProBase Cold and Acron MC. Aging procedures did not affect the bonding properties of any of the repair materials.     

Plasma treatment increased shear bond strength between heat cured acrylic resin and self-curing acrylic resin

Self-curing acrylic resin is generally used for the repair of a fractured denture base. However, re-fracture of the repaired denture base resin often occurs because of poor bonding strength between the base resin and self-curing repair resin. The effect of plasma treatment on the shear bond strength between heat cured acrylic resin and the self-cured acrylic was examined. It was revealed that plasma irradiation is effective in increasing the shear bond strength. Plasma irradiation does not cause environmental pollution, as it does not require chemicals. It is a useful method to increase adhesive strength between heat cured acrylic resin and self-curing acrylic resin.     

Shear bond strength of resin teeth to heat-cured and light-cured denture base resin

The failure of the bond between acrylic resin teeth and denture base material remains a considerable problem. Previous research has indicated that the introduction of a bonding agent to the tooth-resin interface significantly increased the tensile bond strength. To further investigate this finding, and to complement the earlier study, a shear strength assessment was carried out. Both a commercial and an experimental bonding agent were evaluated for tooth retention when applied to heat-cured and visible light-cured (VLC) resin. A significant increase in shear bond strength was obtained when bonding agents were applied. The experimental cement gave the greatest increase in strength, although the VLC resin failed to achieve the same degree of tooth attachment as the heat-cured resin.     

Bonding durability of using self-etching primer with 4-META/ MMA-TBB resin cement to bond orthodontic brackets

This study determines the bonding durability when a self-etching primer is used with Superbond C&B (a 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride/methyl methacrylate-tri-n-butyl borane resin) to bond orthodontic brackets to enamel. Thermocycling test was used to assess bonding durability. Metal brackets were bonded to the phosphoric acid-etched or Megabond self-etching primer-treated enamel surface of human premolars using Superbond C&B. The shear bond strengths were measured after immersion in water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours or after 2000 or 5000 cycles of thermocycling between 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C. Data were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance and Fisher's protected least significant difference test for multiple comparisons. There was no significant difference in shear bond strength between phosphoric acid and Megabond self-etching primer treatment before the thermocycling test. After 2000 and 5000 thermal cycles, significant decreases in shear bond strength were observed with phosphoric acid etching. On the contrary, no significant differences in shear bond strength were observed after 2000 and 5000 thermal cycles with Megabond self-etching primer. The adhesive remnant indices were not significantly different between phosphoric acid etching and Megabond self-etching primer treatment either before or after thermal cycles. This study suggested that when used with Superbond C&B in bonding orthodontic brackets, Megabond self-etching primer is superior to phosphoric acid as an enamel preparation agent in providing durable bond strength.     

Tensile bond strengths of hard chairside reline resins as influenced by water storage

Due to gradual resorption of the edentulous ridge bone, removable prostheses often require denture base relines to improve fit and stability. This research evaluated the bond strength between one heat-cured acrylic resin (Lucitone 550(R)) and two hard chairside reline resins, after two different periods of storage in water (50 h and 30 days). The bond strength was evaluated using a tensile test. The mode of failure, adhesive or cohesive, was also recorded. The results submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis test indicated that the highest tensile strengths were achieved with intact Lucitone 550(R) denture base resin in both periods of storage in water. After 50 h of storage in water, Duraliner II(R) reline material exhibited the highest bond strength to the denture base resin. After 30 days of storage in water, Duraliner II(R) reline resin demonstrated a significant reduction in adhesion, showing lower tensile bond strength than Kooliner(R) material. Both hard chairside reline materials failed adhesively across Lucitone 550(R) denture base resin, in both periods of time.     

Repair of temporary fixed dental prostheses using a flowable resin composite: Effect of material,bonding, and aging

ObjectivesAssessment of the effect of aging and bonding on the reparability of different temporary crown and bridge materials using a flowable resin composite.MethodsThe materials used included two bis-acryl and two polymethylmethacrylate materials. The materials were aged either dry, in distilled water, or in a 75% ethanol/water solution. Each group was divided into three subgroups (n = 6) according to the bonding method: application of a universal adhesive, application of a universal primer followed by a universal adhesive, or no bonding. Materials were repaired with a light-cure flowable resin composite; then, they were subjected to thermocycling and tested by shear bond strength. The data were analysed using three-way ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey post hoc tests (α = 0.05).ResultsThe shear bond strength was significantly higher for bis-acryl compared to polymethylmethacrylate materials (p < 0.001). In terms of aging conditions, shear bond strength was in the order of 75% ethanol/water solution < dry < water. The application of bonding agents significantly increased the shear bond strength of polymethylmethacrylate-based materials (p < 0.001). The difference between water and dry storage was insignificant (p = 0.558); however, storage in a 75% ethanol/water solution showed significantly lower values compared to both dry and water storage in most of experimental groups (p < 0.001). Polymethylmethacrylate-based materials mainly demonstrated adhesive failure, while bis-acryl materials predominantly showed cohesive failure.ConclusionThe bond strength of a light-cure flowable resin composite is significantly higher with bis-acryl compared to that with polymethylmethacrylate-based substrates. Aging in water does not have a significant effect; however, the 75% ethanol/water solution tends to negatively affect repairability. The application of different bonding agents positively affects the repair strength, especially for polymethylmethacrylate-based substrates.     

Evaluation of micro-tensile, shear and tensile tests determining the bond strength of three adhesive systems

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine bond strength between dentin and three adhesive systems, by means of microtensile, shear and tensile tests. METHODS: Extracted human molars were embedded in acrylic resin and had the dentin exposed on three of their smooth surfaces. On each surface a specimen was prepared to be submitted to either micro-tensile, shear or tensile bond strength testing. For shear and tensile tests, after adhesive application, a cone 3 mm high and diameter of 3 mm in the small surface was built with composite resin. The shear test was performed with a chisel. Tensile testing was made by pulling the resin cone via a metallic clamp. For micro-tensile testing, composite approximately 5 mm high was placed over the entire exposed dentin. Then, using a diamond disk perpendicular to the bonding interface, 'sticks' with 0.25 mm2 rectangular cross-sectional area were obtained and subjected to tensile force. RESULTS: All tests ranked the adhesives in the same order. Mean values obtained by the micro-tensile test were not statistically different. For shear and tensile tests, Single Bond gave higher bond strength than Etch & Prime 3.0 (p < 0.05). Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus originated bondings that were statistically similar to both Single Bond and Etch & Prime 3.0. Comparing the three tests, a higher mean (p < 0.05) and a smaller coefficient of variation were found with the micro-tensile test. SIGNIFICANCE: The one-bottle adhesive system obtained higher bond strength values than the self-etching adhesive upon shear and tensile strength tests. Depending on the test applied, differences among materials may not be disclosed.     

Assessing the performance of a methyl methacrylate-based resin cement with self-etching primer for bonding orthodontic brackets

Questions over the usefulness of a self-etching primer with resin adhesive in the bonding of orthodontic brackets remain unsolved. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of using Multibond, a new methyl methacrylate (MMA)-based resin cement with self-etching primer, on the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets compared with Superbond C&B, which is a well-known MMA-based resin cement containing phosphoric acid etching. Metal or plastic brackets were bonded to etched or self-etching primed bovine teeth using Superbond C&B or Multibond. The shear bond strengths were measured after immersion in water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours. Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Scheffe's test. The surface appearances of the teeth after phosphoric acid etching or self-etching priming were observed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Metal brackets bonded with Multibond had a significantly lower shear bond strength than metal brackets bonded with Superbond C&B. No significant differences in shear bond strength were observed between Multibond and Superbond C&B when plastic brackets were bonded to the enamel. The shear bond strength of metal brackets bonded with Multibond was comparable with that of plastic brackets bonded with Superbond C&B. Adhesive remnant index score showed a tendency of more residual resin cement remaining on the teeth when metal brackets were bonded with Multibond. FE-SEM observation revealed less dissolution of the enamel surface resulting from treatment with Multibond self-etching primer as compared with phosphoric acid. Thus, the Multibond system may be a candidate for bonding orthodontic brackets with the advantage of minimizing enamel loss.     

Some variables influencing the bond strength between PMMA and a silicone denture lining material

PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of roughening the denture base surface on the tensile and shear bond strengths of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) resilient lining material (Molloplast-B) bonded to a heat-cured acrylic resin denture base material. These measured bond strengths were compared to those obtained by packing the soft lining material against poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base acrylic resin dough. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three groups of 10 specimens each were constructed for both tensile and shear tests. In the first group, Molloplast-B was packed against cured PMMA denture base surface. In the second group, Molloplast-B was packed against cured PMMA denture base whose surface had been roughened with an acrylic bur. In a third group, Molloplast-B was packed against PMMA denture base acrylic resin dough. RESULTS: Molloplast-B exhibited significantly higher tensile and shear bond strengths when packed against acrylic resin dough. Roughening the denture base surface prior to the application of Molloplast-B had a statistically significant weakening effect on tensile bond strength compared with the smooth surface and the acrylic resin dough. For the shear bond strength, roughening the surface produced a nonsignificant increase compared with the smooth surface, but the bond was weaker than when packed against acrylic resin dough. CONCLUSION: Significant differences in tensile and shear bond strength were recorded between the three methods used to bond Molloplast-B to denture base material.     

Bond strength of acrylic teeth to denture base resin after various surface conditioning methods before and after thermocycling

This study aimed to evaluate the durability of adhesion between acrylic teeth and denture base acrylic resin. The base surfaces of 24 acrylic teeth were flatted and submitted to 4 surface treatment methods: SM1 (control): No SM; SM2: application of a methyl methacrylate-based bonding agent (Vitacol); SM3: air abrasion with 30-microm silicone oxide plus silane; SM4: SM3 plus SM2. A heat-polymerized acrylic resin was applied to the teeth. Thereafter, bar specimens were produced for the microtensile test at dry and thermocyled conditions (60 days water storage followed by 12,000 cycles). The results showed that bond strength was significantly affected by the SM (P < .0001) (SM4 = SM2 > SM3 > SM1) and storage regimens (P < .0001) (dry > thermocycled). The methyl methacrylate-based adhesive showed the highest bond strength.     

Effect of aluminium oxide particle sandblasting on the artificial tooth–resin bond

Aim: The influence of tooth ridge‐lap surface sandblasting with aluminium oxide particles was evaluated on the adhesion of artificial teeth to acrylic resins. Methods: Specimens were made with the acrylic resin adhered to teeth (BioCler GII), according to an unmodified surface, glossy surface sandblasted with 50‐μm particles and conventional (Classico) or microwaved (Onda Cryl) resin, and a glossy surface sandblasted with 100‐μm particles and Classico or Onda Cryl resin. The shear bond test was performed in an Instron machine using a 500‐N load cell and cross‐speed of 1 mm/min. Results:  The analysis of variance revealed significant difference in the tooth–resin shear bond strength for resin, surface treatment, and interaction. For conventional resin, control, 50‐, and 100‐μm particles showed statistically‐different values; for microwaved resin, the control showed less statistical difference when compared to 50‐ and 100‐μm particle treatments; for between resins, only the 100‐μm particle treatment showed statistically‐different values, with lower values for the microwaved resin. Mixed failures (cohesive in the resin and adhesive) were predominantly observed in all groups. Mixed (cohesive in the tooth and adhesive) or adhesive failures were not observed. Conclusions:  Sandblasting with different aluminium oxide particle sizes produced different effects on the shear strength values of the tooth–resin bond.

Bonding of plastic teeth to denture base resins.

This study evaluated the bond strengths of some new and traditional resin denture teeth and denture base resins. It included regular monolithic acrylic resin teeth (Bioform), monolithic acrylic resin-IPN teeth (Bioform IPN), and multilithic acrylic resin-composite resin teeth (Vivosit), with relatively new light-activated resin (Triad), conventional heat-cured resin (Lucitone 199), and autopolymerizing resin (Hygenic) denture base materials. The results of four-point flexure testing showed that the traditional materials gave the highest bond strength values. The autopolymerizing resin systems demonstrated interfacial failure with all resin denture teeth, showing that the common practice of treating teeth with the respective autopolymerizing monomer failed to produce adequate bond strength. Combinations of acrylic resin, IPN, and multilithic denture teeth with light-activated resins gave results calling for improvements in basic bonding system design, since interface debonding was prevalent. No failures occurred between the lap-ridge region of the multilithic tooth system and conventional heat-cured denture base resin.

Bond strength of three chairside crown reline materials to milled polymethyl methacrylate resin

Statement of problemInformation on the bond strength of milled polymethyl methacrylate interim restorations when relined with chairside reline materials is lacking.PurposeThe purpose of this in vitro study was to measure the shear bond strength of various combinations of 3 different chairside reline materials bonded to milled polymethyl methacrylate blocks with 3 different types of surface treatments.Materials and methodsUniform blocks (10×10×22 mm) were milled from tooth-colored polymethyl methacrylate disks (Vivid PMMA; Pearson Dental Supply Co). The surface treatments tested were airborne-particle abrasion with 50-μm particle size aluminosilicate, application of acrylic resin monomer (Jet Liquid; Lang Dental Manufacturing Co) for 180 seconds, and airborne-particle abrasion with monomer application. The control groups were blocks with no surface treatment. The chairside reline materials tested were Jet acrylic resin (Jet Powder; Lang Dental Manufacturing Co), bis-acryl resin (Integrity; Dentsply Sirona), and flowable composite resin (Reveal; Bisco). All materials were applied through a Ø1.5×3-mm bonding ring. Ten specimens for each of the 12 groups were tested in a universal testing machine. Load was applied at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Fracture surfaces were then analyzed for cohesive versus adhesive or mixed failure. Data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer post hoc analysis (α=.05).ResultsThe mean shear bond strength values ranged from 1.77 ±0.79 MPa to 28.49 ±5.75 MPa. ANOVA revealed that reline material (P<.05), surface treatment (P<.05), and their interactions (P<.05) significantly affected the shear bond strength among the experimental groups. The strongest combination was Jet acrylic resin applied on specimens treated with airborne-particle abrasion and monomer. All 3 failure modalities (adhesive, cohesive, and mixed modes) were observed.ConclusionsOf the materials tested, the most reliable material to bond to milled polymethyl methacrylate was Jet acrylic resin, and the bond strength values were increased substantially when the milled polymethyl methacrylate surface was airborne-particle abraded and monomer was applied.
