The objective of this study was to evaluate the bleaching effectiveness, hydrogen peroxide diffusion (H2O2), and cytotoxicity of a bleaching gel with 35 % H2O2 either associated with ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) or not.Materials and methods
Enamel/dentin discs adapted to artificial pulp chambers were placed in compartments containing a culture medium (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM)) and distributed into the following groups: G1—no treatment (negative control), G2—10 % carbamide peroxide (one application for 4 h), G3—35 % H2O2 (three applications for 15 min), and G4—35 % H2O2 + 0.004 g FeSO4 (three applications for 15 min). After treatments, the extracts (DMEM + bleaching components that diffused across enamel and dentin) were applied on human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) and odontoblast-like cells (MDPC-23). Cell viability (MTT assay, Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney, α?=?5 %), quantification of H2O2 diffusion, and color change of the enamel/dentin discs (Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage L*a*b* system) were assessed (analysis of variance and Tukey's tests, α?=?5 %).Results
For both cells, a significant reduction in cell viability was observed for G3 and G4 compared with G1 and G2. No statistical difference was observed between G3 and G4. The rate of H2O2 diffusion was significantly higher in G3 compared with that in G2 and G4. The ΔE value for G4 was statistically higher than that of the other groups.Conclusions
Chemical activation of H2O2 by FeSO4 improves the bleaching effectiveness. However, this metal ion has no significant protective effect against pulp cell cytotoxicity.Clinical relevance
Although the chemical activation of H2O2 by adding FeSO4 to the bleaching agent improved the bleaching effectiveness, this metal ion has no significant protective effect against pulp cell cytotoxicity. 相似文献2.

Limited evidence exists about the usefulness of ethanol or acetone application to desiccate caries lesions before resin infiltration. Therefore, this in vitro study aimed to compare the penetration depths (PD) of an infiltrant (DMG, Germany) into natural caries lesions using various pretreatments.Material and methods
Extracted permanent human molars and premolars showing non-cavitated caries lesions were etched (90 s, 15 % HCl gel) and stored in pooled saliva (7 days). Lesions were etched again (30 s, 15 % HCl gel), washed (30 s), air-dried (30 s), and randomly allocated to one of the pretreatments: none (negative control), air-drying (incubator, 37 °C, 24 h; positive control), once ethanol (E1), twice ethanol (E2), once acetone (A1), and twice acetone (A2). Subsequently, the infiltrant was applied for 5 min and light-cured. Ground sections were prepared for analyses of lesion depths (LD) and PD using confocal microscopy.Results
Median LD (Q25/Q75) of all lesions (n?=?91) and lesions ≥500 μm (n?=?57) were 629 (395/798) and 731 (638/876)?μm, respectively. When all lesions were analyzed, no significant differences between various pretreatments could be observed (p?>?0.05, Kruskal–Wallis). For lesions ≥500 μm, significantly deeper PP was observed in groups PC, E1, A1, and A2 compared with NC (p?<?0.05; Mann–Whitney), but not after adjustment for multiple comparison (p?>?0.05).Conclusion
Application of either ethanol or acetone, followed by air-drying, is suitable to prepare caries lesions for resin infiltration in vitro.Clinical relevance
This paper shows that proper drying is an important step prior to caries infiltration. 相似文献3.

Objectives
The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effectiveness and tooth sensitivity associated with bleaching in patients with composite restorations in anterior teeth after the application of a desensitizing agent.Material and methods
Bleaching was performed with 35 % hydrogen peroxide gel in 30 patients with composite restorations in anterior teeth, divided according to the prior application of a desensitizing agent (De), or a placebo (Pl), on maxillary superior teeth. Color was recorded at baseline, 1 week after each session and 6 months after treatment. The experience of tooth sensitivity (TS) was recorded on an NRS (0–4) during bleaching and 24 h after each session. Bleaching effectiveness was evaluated by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests (α?=?0.05). The percentage of TS was evaluated by Fisher's exact test. For each treatment, periods were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (α?=?0.05), and at each period, treatments were compared using Mann–Whitney U test.Results
Both groups showed similar tooth color enhancement and color stability after 6 months (p?<?0.05). No significant difference in prevalence of sensitivity was detected between groups (p?<?0.001). Higher TS intensity (median [first/third quartiles]) was observed for Pl (1.5 [1/1.75]) compared with De (0.5 [0/1]) during treatment (p?<?0.05).Conclusions
The use of a desensitizing gel (5 % potassium nitrate, 2 % sodium fluoride) before tooth bleaching in patients with composite restorations did not reduce the prevalence of tooth sensitivity, but reduced the intensity of TS during bleaching.Clinical relevance
Although the use of a desensitizing agent before bleaching, in patients with composite resin restorations, did not reduce the prevalence of TS, a reduction of the TS intensity during the protocol was observed without jeopardizing the whitening outcome. 相似文献4.

Objectives
The combination of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX) yields a “precipitate potentially toxic” (PPT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the tissue response to implanted polyethylene tubes filled with PPT-soaked fibrin sponge.Methods
Forty rats received four polyethylene tubes each; each tube was filled with fibrin sponge soaked by 2.5 % NaOCl, 2.0 % CHX, PPT (2.5 % NaOCl plus 2.0 % CHX), or not soaked (control). The observation time points were 7, 15, 30, 60, and 90 days. At each time point, eight animals were killed, and the tubes and surrounding tissues were removed, fixed, and prepared for light microscopic analysis by performing glycol methacrylate embedding, serial cutting into 3-μm sections, and hematoxylin–eosin staining. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the reactions were performed. Results were statistically analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis test (p?<?0.05).Results
All chemical solutions caused moderate reactions at 7 days. On day 30, PPT group was more cytotoxic than the control group and the CHX group (p?<?0.05). On days 15 and 60, PPT group was more cytotoxic than the control group (p?<?0.05). On day 90, there was no statistically significant difference between the different groups.Conclusion
PPT is more cytotoxic than NaOCl and CHX alone, particularly in the short term.Clinical significance
Protocols which suggest the use of CHX and NaOCl must be revised because this mixture produces cytotoxic product. 相似文献5.

Objectives
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of calcium glycerophosphate (CaGP) in toothpastes with low-fluoride (low-F) concentrations on enamel demineralization by using a bovine enamel and pH cycling model.Materials and methods
Experimental toothpastes containing 0 or 500 μg F/g (NaF) and CaGP concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 % were manufactured. A commercial toothpaste was used as a positive control (1,100 μg F/g). After polishing and hardness tests, enamel blocks were subjected to pH cycling for 5 days and toothpaste treatment twice daily. The treatment regimen involved soaking all blocks in the corresponding slurry for 1 min (2 ml/block). Surface and cross-sectional hardness and fluoride concentrations in enamel were analyzed. The hardness data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni post hoc test. Fluoride concentrations were analyzed using a Kruskal–Wallis followed by a Student–Newman–Keuls post hoc test.Results
The mineral loss with the toothpaste containing 500 μg F/g and 0.25 % CaGP was lower than that in the other groups (p?<?0.05). Fluoride concentrations in the enamel treated with 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 % CaGP toothpastes were similar to those in the enamel treated with the 500 μg F/g toothpaste (p?>?0.05). A greater concentration of CaGP reduced the fluoride levels in enamel (p?<?0.05).Conclusions
The results from the present in vitro study show that a low-F (500 μg F/g) toothpaste is capable of maintaining the efficacy of 1,100 μg F/g toothpaste when supplemented with 0.25 % of CaGP.Clinical relevance
The developed toothpaste prevents caries as a standard one and is safe for individuals of any age group. 相似文献6.

Objectives
The use of dental sealants has been extended to smooth enamel surfaces. The present study was conducted to test the in vitro performance of four sealants with different characteristics (highly and lowly filled, self-etching features).Materials and methods
Eighty human teeth (lower incisors and premolars) were randomly divided into following sealant test groups: ProSealTM, LightBondTM, OrthoSoloTM, and Seal&Protect®. Twenty untreated teeth served as a control group. Tooth brushing was conducted for a period of time simulating 12, 18, and 24 months. During the toothbrush abrasion protocol, the specimens were subjected to thermal and acidic challenge. Sealant thickness was determined with μCT imaging, and qualitative and quantitative surface effects were investigated using stereo microscopy and raster electron microscopy, respectively. Data were subjected to t test or Kruskal–Wallis/Mann–Whitney tests (alpha, 5 %).Results
The wear behavior and film integrity of highly filled sealants were superior to lowly filled sealants. Even after 1 year of tooth brushing, significant surface deterioration with deleterious loss of enamel and discoloration was observed in all tested materials (χ2?=?15.349; P?=?0.004). The size of the observed defects increased over time.Conclusion
These results suggest that the application of sealants on smooth enamel surfaces should be limited to special indications, and their usefulness has to be revisited.Clinical relevance
Based on the results of this in vitro study, the general overall application of enamel sealants needs to be questioned. 相似文献7.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to undertake a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of changes on enamel surfaces after debonding of brackets followed by finishing procedures, using a high-resolution three-dimensional optical profiler and to investigate the accuracy of the technique.Materials and methods
The labial surfaces of 36 extracted upper central incisors were examined. Before bonding, the enamel surfaces were subjected to profilometry, recording four amplitude parameters. Brackets were then bonded using two types of light-cured orthodontic adhesive: composite resin and resin-modified glass ionomer cement. Finishing was performed by three different methods: pumice on a rubber cup, fine and ultrafine aluminum oxide discs, and microfine diamond cups followed by silicon carbide brushes. The samples were subsequently re-analyzed by profilometry.Results
Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Kruskal–Wallis test (p?0.05) and a posteriori Mann–Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction (p?0.0167) revealed a significant reduction of enamel roughness when diamond cups followed by silicon carbide brushes were used to finish surfaces that had remnants of resin-modified glass ionomer adhesive and when pumice was used to finish surfaces that had traces of composite resin. Enamel loss was minimal.Conclusions
The 3D optical profilometry technique was able to provide accurate qualitative and quantitative assessment of changes on the enamel surface after debonding.Clinical relevance
Morphological changes in the topography of dental surfaces, especially if related to enamel loss and roughness, are of considerable clinical importance. The quantitative evaluation method used herein enables a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of orthodontic bonding on teeth. 相似文献8.

Objectives
The hypothesis was that the daily use of a high dose of a xylitol chewing gum for 6 months would reduce the increment of decayed permanent first molar surfaces (ΔD6S) in high-risk schoolchildren after 2 years.Methods
In this randomised, clinical trial, 204 schoolchildren with a high caries risk were assigned to two experimental groups, xylitol and non-xylitol. Caries status, salivary mutans streptococci, and lactobacilli were re-evaluated 2 years later in 74 xylitol-treated and 83 non-xylitol-treated schoolchildren. Differences in mean ?D6S between groups registered at baseline and at follow-up were evaluated using the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test.Results
Outcome was the development of detectable carious lesions initial (D1–D2) and manifest (D3) in the permanent first molars. In the xylitol group, the difference in proportion of children with decayed first permanent molars at baseline and follow-up was 1.43 % for manifest lesion and 2.86 % for initial lesions; while in the non-xylitol group was 10.26 % (p?<?0.01) and 16.66 % (p?<?0.01), respectively. A statistically significant difference regarding means was also observed in the non-xylitol group: the ?D6S for manifest lesion was 0.18 (p?=?0.03) and 0.67 (p?=?0.02) for initial lesion.Conclusion
The use of a chewing gum containing a high dose of xylitol for a period of 6 months has been shown to produce a long-term effect on caries development in high caries-risk children.Clinical relevance
A school-based preventive programme based on 6 months’ administration of a high dose of xylitol via chewing gum proved to be efficacious in controlling caries increment in high-risk children. 相似文献9.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of etoricoxib 60 mg on tooth sensitivity (TS) caused by in-office bleaching.Materials and methods
A triple-blind, parallel design, randomized clinical trial was conducted on 30 healthy, young adults who received either a placebo or etoricoxib. The drugs were administered 1 h before the bleaching process and after 24 h. Treatment was performed with 35 % hydrogen peroxide gel. The TS was recorded on three scales: VAS, 0–4, and 0–100. Shade evaluations were performed before and 30 days after bleaching with a visual shade guide and a spectrophotometer. The percentage of patients who reported TS at least once during treatment and the TS intensity were evaluated by Fisher’s exact and Mann–Whitney U tests, respectively. Tooth color changes were evaluated by repeated measures ANOVA.Results
There were no significant differences in the percentage of patients with TS, intensity of TS, and color between the groups.Conclusions and clinical significance
The anti-inflammatory medication etoricoxib 60 mg was unable to reduce the presence and intensity of TS. NCT01300780 (protocol No. 17838/2010). 相似文献10.

Objectives
This study evaluated and compared sensitivity of teeth after cementation of full-coverage crowns with a new self-adhesive resin cement (SARC). A resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) served as control.Materials and methods
Eighty-eight full-coverage crowns were cemented to vital teeth with either the self-adhesive cement iCem (Heraeus Kulzer; n?=?44) or the RMGIC GC Fuji PLUS (GC, n?=?44). Before preparations, patients were questioned for sensitivity (patient sensitivity, PS). In addition, air was blown for 2 s onto the buccal cementoenamel junction (air sensitivity, AS), and ice spray was applied in the cementoenamel junction area (ice sensitivity, IS). Patient responses were recorded with a visual analog scale. After cementation of the crowns, patients were recalled for follow-up (f/u) visits at 1 day, 1 week, and 3 weeks. PS, AS, and IS were recorded during each visit. Data were analyzed with Mann–Whitney U tests.Results
The two groups revealed comparable sensitivity scores at baseline. SARC showed significantly lower PS sensitivity scores at 1 day (p?=?0.02) and significantly lower AS scores at 1-week follow-up (p?=?0.01). IS generally produced the highest sensitivity scores with SARC revealing significantly lower scores at all follow-up visits.Conclusion
Cementation of crowns with the SARC tested in this study resulted in overall lower postoperative sensitivity than with the RMGIC.Clinical relevance
Among other clinical advantages, some self-adhesive resin cements seem to lower postoperative sensitivity of crowned teeth. 相似文献11.

Objectives
This study was conducted in order to investigate the mode of action and the whitening effect of whitening dentifrices.Material and methods
Two hundred fifty-six bovine enamel specimens (10?×?10 mm2) were prepared, partially stained, and assigned into eight groups (n?=?32): six whitening dentifrices, one nonwhitening and deionized water (negative control), and further divided in two subgroups (n?=?16), according to the test model: chemical (dentifrice slurry treatment only) or chemo-mechanical (slurry?+?toothbrushing). Specimens were treated with dentifrice slurries 2×/day for 1 min and toothbrushed or not, according to each model. In between dentifrice treatments, specimens were artificially stained for 5 h. This protocol was repeated for 5 days and enamel color changes (?E) were measured after each day (days 1–5). The abrasive level of the dentifrices was determined following the ISO11609 guidelines.Results
In the chemo-mechanical model, the whitening action of all dentifrices was observed after day 1, being higher than the negative control group (p?<?0.05). In days 2–5, nonsignificant changes in color were observed for all groups (p?>?0.05). Differences on ?E among dentifrices were observed, and they seemed to correlate well with their abrasive level (r 2?=?0.80). In the chemical model, no significant differences were observed among groups (p?>?0.05), with ?E remaining constant throughout the study. Higher ?E values were observed in the chemo-mechanical model compared to the chemical (p?<?0.05).Conclusions
All tested dentifrices were effective in whitening stained enamel and their mode of action showed to be mainly mechanical (toothbrushing abrasion).Clinical relevance
The abrasive level of dentifrices seems to determine its whitening effectiveness. 相似文献12.

Objectives
To gather preliminary data concerning the feasibility of using seven salivary mRNAs—IL-8; IL-1β; dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1); H3 histone family 3A (H3F3A); ornithin decarboxylase antizyme 1 (OAZ1); S100 calcium-binding protein P (S100P); and spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase 1 (SAT1)—for detecting development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in oral lichen planus (OLP) patients and OSCC patients whose disease was in remission.Materials and methods
Saliva samples were collected from five study groups (25 subjects/group): newly diagnosed OSCC, OSCC-in-remission, disease-active OLP, disease-inactive OLP, and normal controls. The salivary mRNA levels were determined by a pre-amplification RT-qPCR approach with nested gene-specific primers. Mean fold changes between each pair of study groups were analyzed by the Mann–Whitney U test.Results
Salivary levels of OAZ1, S100P, and DUSP1 mRNAs were significantly higher in newly diagnosed OSCC patients, compared to: (1) normal controls (p?=?0.003; p?=?0.003; and p?<?0.001, respectively); (2) OSCC-in-remission (p?<?0.001; p?=?0.001; and p?<?0.001, respectively); (3) disease-active OLP (p?<?0.001; p?=?0.016; and p?<?0.001, respectively); and (4) disease-inactive OLP (p?=?0.043; p?<?0.001; and p?<?0.001, respectively). No significant differences were found in the levels of salivary IL-8, IL-1β, H3F3A, and SAT1 mRNAs between newly diagnosed OSCC patients and the normal controls (p?=?0.093, 0.327, 0.764, and 0.560, respectively).Conclusion
Salivary OAZ1, S100P, and DUSP1 mRNAs are candidate biomarkers for detecting OSCC development in OSCC patients in remission and in OLP patients.Clinical relevance
The results of this study serve as the basis for a further large-scale study which may lead to a non-invasive screening method for early detection of OSCC. 相似文献13.

Purpose
The main causes for the occurrence of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) are the application of aminobisphosphonates and the extraction of teeth. However, the question which factors in dental and oral health are relevant has not been answered completely.Materials and methods
In a retrospective study, 50 patients who were treated with BRONJ between 2000 and 2009 were analyzed. As underlying diseases, they suffered from breast cancer (n?=?24), multiple myeloma (n?=?16), prostate cancer (n?=?5), osteoporosis (n?=?4), and kidney cancer (n?=?1). The data were collected from the patient charts of the treating dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, general practitioners, and oncologists. The time of occurrence of BRONJ after treatment onset with bisphosphonates (BP) was examined with Kaplan–Meier estimator and logrank test (level of significance 0.05).Results
At the time of BP treatment, onset the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index was 20.5?±?4.2. Patients with a DMFT value less than 20 showed a significantly longer BRONJ-free time interval after BP treatment onset with 39.7?±?1.1 months compared to patients with a DMFT value higher than 20, in whom BRONJ appeared after 14.4?±?2.8 months (p?<?0.001). However, the DMFT value had no influence on the success rate of BRONJ treatment. As a pre-existing oral disease, 60 % of the patients (n?=?30) had marginal periodontitis; 38 % (n?=?19), apical periodontitis; and 22 % (n?=?11), a pressure lesion from their dentures. In patients with marginal periodontitis, BRONJ occurred after 26.3 months (range 20.9–31.3) and in patients without marginal periodontitis, after 27.4 months (range 14.6–40.1) (p?=?0.58). Only 20 % of the patients with marginal periodontitis received adequate treatment. Without parodontal treatment, BRONJ occurred 15 months earlier compared to patients with parodontal treatment (p?=?0.12). The state of the periodontium did not influence the healing rate of BRONJ (p?>?0.999).Conclusion
The present study highlights the great benefit of good dental and oral health in the prevention of BRONJ; but it also shows that after the appearance of BRONJ, these factors do no longer seem to play a relevant role in the disease course. 相似文献14.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different seating forces during cementation in cement–ceramic microtensile bond strength (μTBS).Materials and methods
Forty-five blocks (5?×?5?×?4 mm3) of a glass-infiltrated alumina-based ceramic (In-Ceram Alumina) were fabricated according to the manufacturer’s instructions and duplicated in resin composite. Ceramic surfaces were polished, cleaned for 10 min in an ultrasonic bath, silica coated using a laboratory type of air abrasion device, and silanized. Each treated ceramic block was then randomly assigned to five groups (n?=?9) and cemented to a composite block under five seating forces (10 g, 50 g, 100 g, 500 g, and 750 g) using a dual-cured resin cement (Panavia F). The ceramic–cement–composite assemblies were cut under coolant water to obtain bar specimens (1 mm?×?0.8 mm2). The μTBS tests were performed in a universal testing machine (1 mm/min). The mean bond strengths values were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA (α?≤?0.05).Results
Different seating forces resulted in no significant difference in the μTBS results ranging between 13.1?±?4.7 and 18.8?±?2.1 MPa (p?=?0.13) and no significant differences among cement thickness.Conclusions
Excessive seating forces during cementation seem not to affect the μTBS results.Clinical relevance
Excessive forces during the seating of single all-ceramic restorations cementation seem to display the same tensile bond strength to the resin cement. 相似文献15.

Objectives
The aims of this study are to evaluate the dentofacial morphology of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to compare the morphological data with those of healthy age- and sex-matched control subjects.Methods
Twenty-seven RA patients (mean age, 45.77?±?8.64 years) and 25 healthy subjects (mean age, 44.80?±?8.24 years) participated in this prospective study. Clinical and functional evaluations of the RA patients were assessed. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein level, rheumatoid factor level, and anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) titers of RA patients were determined, and DAS28 scores were calculated. Linear and angular measurements were performed on cephalometric tracings and condylar erosion was evaluated on lateral panoramic radiographs. Statistical comparison of the two groups was performed with an independent samples t test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between the clinical and laboratory parameters.Results
Based on DAS28 scores, no patient with RA was in the remission period, 3 patients had low, 23 had medium, and 1 had high disease activity. Sixteen (59.26 %) patients with RA had positive ACPA titers. Lateral cephalometric radiographs revealed statistically significant difference between the two groups for the measurement of U1–NA (millimeter; p?=?0.047), U1–NA (degrees; p?=?0.031), L1–NB (degrees; p?=?0.030), IMPA (L1–MP; p?=?0.001), interincisal angle (U1–L1; degrees; p?=?0.022) and midface length (Co–A; millimeter; p?=?0.033). A significant positive linear correlation was found between disease duration time and DAS28 scores (r?=?0.066, p?=?0.040).Conclusions
Dentoalveolar effects of RA on dentofacial morphology are more significant than the skeletal effects. Future studies with larger sample sizes are required to evaluate the exact effects of RA on dentofacial morphology.Clinical relevance
Clinicians should consider the fact that RA-associated dentoalveolar changes can be observed and may affect the orthodontic treatment process. 相似文献16.

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the marginal adaptation of cavities restored with a three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive, OptiBond FL (OFL) under different application protocols.Materials and methods
Twenty-four class V cavities were prepared with half of the margins located in enamel and half in dentin. Cavities were restored with OFL and a microhybrid resin composite (Clearfil AP-X). Three groups (n?=?8) that differed in the etching technique were tested with thermomechanical loading, and specimens were subjected to quantitative marginal analysis before and after loading. Micromorphology of etching patters on enamel and dentin were observed with SEM. Data was evaluated with Kruskal–Wallis and Bonferroni post hoc test.Results
Significantly lower percent CM (46.9?±?19.5) were found after loading on enamel in group 3 compared to group 1 (96.5?±?5.1) and group 2 (93.1?±?8.1). However, no significant differences (p?=?0.30) were observed on dentin margins.Conclusions
Etching enamel with phosphoric acid but avoiding etching dentin before the application of OFL, optimal marginal adaptation could be obtained, evidencing a self-etching primer effect.Clinical relevance
A reliable adhesive interface was attained with the application of the three-step etch-and-rinse OFL adhesive with a selective enamel etching, representing an advantage on restoring deep cavities. 相似文献17.

Objectives
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hypothesis that replacing 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) for surfactant dimethacrylates (SD) does not affect the immediate and long-term microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of experimental two-step self-etch HEMA-free adhesive systems applied on dentin.Materials and methods
Five experimental HEMA-free two-step self-etching systems containing different SD (ethoxylated bisphenol A diglycidyl dimethacrylate (Bis-EMA 10, B10), Bis-EMA 30 (B30), poly-ethyleneglycol (400) dimethacrylate (PEG 400, P400), PEG 1000 (P1000), and PEG 400 urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) (UP400)) and a HEMA-containing system (control) (HA) were formulated. Specimens were subjected to the μTBS test after 24 h and 6 and 12 months of storage. Data (in megapascals) were analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn tests (α?=?0.05).Results
Medians of the μTBS data after 24 h of storage are: HA?=?57.2A, B10?=?26.2BC, B30?=?24.0C, P400?=?32.6BC, P1000?=?37.3B, and UP400?=?57.9A; after 6 months are: HA?=?47.9A, B10?=?18.5B, B30?=?7.8C, P400?=?16.1B, P1000?=?14.6BC, and UP400?=?51.6A; and after 12 months are: HA?=?31.2A, B10?=?15.2B, B30?=?9.0B, P400?=?9.1B, P1000?=?13.3B, and UP400?=?35.7A. Between the HEMA-free groups, the adhesive system formulated with PEG 400 UDMA produced similar μTBS to the HEMA-containing group. Also, the storage of specimens decreased the μTBS (p?<?0.05).Conclusion
Replacing HEMA for PEG 400 UDMA in an adhesive system formulation generated a satisfactory μTBS to dentin.Clinical relevance
Surfactant dimethacrylates have a potential use in the development of HEMA-free self-etching adhesive systems, which are more chemically stable. 相似文献18.

Objectives
The goal of this work was to compare the demineralization of enamel associated with two different self-etching primers and traditional acid etching.Materials and methods
A total of 15 volunteers (23–32 years, 8 male and 7 female) were provided with a removable archwire/resin appliance to be worn 20 h/day for 28 days. The device was attached to the mandibular posterior teeth and included samples of human enamel (from extracted third molars) located in both posterior vestibules. Both sides featured the same distribution of samples, including one untreated control sample (group A) and three samples with brackets (Victory? APC II) bonded to their surface after conditioning with a self-etching non-fluoride primer (iBond? Gluma® Inside; group B), a self-etching fluoride-releasing primer (Transbond? Plus; group C), or traditional acid-etching with 35?% phosphoric acid and Transbond? XT (group D). Mineral loss was assessed extraorally under standardized conditions using quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) with a specialized camera system (Inspektor Pro). Results were expressed as relative fluorescence loss (ΔF in %). A baseline measurement (T0) was taken before the appliance was first inserted but with the brackets already bonded. Fluorescence loss was analyzed after 3 (T1), 7 (T2), 14 (T3), and 28 days (T4) and compared to the baseline loss (T0) for each of the four study groups (A to D). Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests were used to compare the results for statistical significance.Results
The lowest percentages of fluorescence loss both at baseline and during the follow-up assessments was found in group C. While all three experimental groups (B, C, D) presented total decreases in fluorescence loss after 28 days, indicating remineralization, the decrease in group C was the largest. The Kruskal–Wallis test yielded no significant differences between the three groups other than a significantly lower percentage of fluorescence loss in group C than in group D during the last assessment (T4). The untreated samples of control enamel (group A) revealed increasing percentages of fluorescence loss over the entire study period.Conclusion
Use of the self-etching primers (groups B and C) was not associated with patterns of enamel demineralization different from those noted after traditional etching with phosphoric acid (group D). The only significant difference we observed was between the self-etching fluoride-releasing primer (group C) and traditional etching (group D) at the final assessment (T4). Thus, the fluoride-releasing system Transbond? Plus was advantageous. 相似文献19.

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of using Er,Cr:YSGG laser during in-office tooth bleaching on bovine enamel surface to evaluate the safety of this therapy on tooth tissues. Thirty-six enamel specimens were prepared from bovine incisors and divided into three groups: Group 1 specimens (control) received no bleaching treatment; Group 2 received a conventional in-office bleaching treatment (40 % H2O2); Group 3 received laser-assisted bleaching procedure (40 % H2O2) utilizing an Er,Cr:YSGG laser. The specimens were stored for 10 days after the bleaching treatment in artificial saliva. Vickers hardness was determined using a microhardness tester, and measurements for surface roughness were done using a VSI microscope. Three specimens for each experimental group were examined under SEM and mineral composition of the specimens was evaluated using EDS. Data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s post hoc, Wilcoxon signed rank and Kruskal–Wallis tests (a = 0.05). The Vickers hardness of the enamel was reduced after in-office bleaching procedures (p < 0.05), and changes in surface morphology of the enamel were observed. However, the surface roughness of the enamel was not influenced (p > 0.05), and no changes in mineral composition of the enamel were detected after in-office bleaching procedures (p > 0.05). The laser-assisted bleaching treatment with Er,Cr:YSGG laser did not influence the enamel surface compared to the conventional bleaching technique. The safety of the use of Er,Cr:YSGG laser during in-office tooth bleaching regarding the surface properties of the enamel was confirmed under in vitro conditions. 相似文献
