Influence of eugenol-containing temporary cement on bonding of self-etching adhesives to dentin

PURPOSE: To investigate the influence of eugenol-containing temporary cement on bonding of resin composite to dentin mediated by self-etching adhesives. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Flat dentin surfaces were produced by grinding of extracted human molars. The dentin surfaces were either used directly or after a one-week exposure to a zinc oxide-eugenol cement (IRM). A resin composite (Herculite XRV) was bonded to the dentin surfaces following treatment with 1 of 6 self-etching adhesives (AdheSE, Adper Prompt L-Pop, Clearfil SE Bond, iBond, OptiBond Solo Plus - Self-Etch Adhesive System, and Xeno III). An adhesive system containing 0.5 M EDTA as dentin conditioner (Gluma Classic) was included as negative control, and an etch-and-rinse adhesive system (OptiBond FL) was included as positive control. After storage in water at 37 degrees C for 1 week, the bonded specimens were fractured in shear (n = 8 in each group). RESULTS: Previous contact of dentin with zinc oxide-eugenol cement significantly decreased the bond strength mediated by the negative control and did not affect the bond strength mediated by the positive control. For the self-etching adhesives, no effect was found of previous contact with zinc oxide-eugenol cement. With and without previous contact with zinc oxide-eugenol cement, the etch-and-rinse adhesive system yielded a significantly higher bond strength than all other adhesive systems. CONCLUSION: Previous contact with zinc oxide-eugenol cement did not decrease the bond strength of resin composite to dentin mediated by self-etching adhesives. This finding suggests that eugenol-containing temporary cements may be safe to use in combination with self-etching adhesives.     

Microtensile bond strength of current dentin adhesives measured immediately and 24 hours after application

PURPOSE: To evaluate the immediate microtensile bond strengths achieved with representative adhesive systems from each of the four current bonding approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Resin composite was bonded incrementally to flat, midcoronal dentin from 33 human molars, using the adhesives (Adper Scotchbond MP; Adper Scotchbond 1; Optibond Solo Plus; Clearfil SE Bond; AdheSE; Tyrian SPE + One Step Plus; Optibond Solo Plus self-etching; One-Up Bond F; iBond; Adper Prompt L-Pop; Xeno III) according to the respective manufacturer's instructions. The bonded specimens were immediately sectioned into sticks and underwent microtensile bond testing either immediately or after 24 h. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and LSD tests. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between immediate and 24-h bond strengths (p > 0.05). However, significant differences were observed among adhesives (p = 0.001). The all-in-one adhesive iBond showed statistically lower values when compared to all the other adhesives. Adper Prompt L-Pop, Xeno III, Tyrian SPE + One Step Plus and One-Up Bond F, all self-etching adhesives, were significantly weaker than AdheSE, Optibond Solo Plus, Adper Scotchbond 1, Optibond Solo Plus self-etching, Clearfil SE Bond, and Adper Scotchbond MP, which did not differ statistically from each other. CONCLUSION: Microtensile bond strengths of representative adhesive systems from the four categories of bonding agents were not equivalent, with the lowest values recorded for the one-step self-etching adhesives. There were no differences in the bond strengths when measured immediately and after 24 h.     

Shear bond strengths of self-etching adhesives to caries-affected dentin on the gingival wall

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bonding ability of five current self-etching adhesives to caries-affected dentin on the gingival wall. Seventy extracted human molars with approximal dentin caries were employed in this study. In order to obtain caries-affected dentin on the gingival wall, grinding was performed under running water. Following which, specimens mounted in acrylic blocks and composite resins of the bonding systems were bonded to dentin with plastic rings and then debonded by shear bond strength. With Clearfil SE Bond, bonding to caries-affected dentin showed the highest bond strength. With Optibond Solo Plus Self-Etch, bonding to caries-affected dentin showed higher shear bond strength than AQ Bond, Tyrian SPE & One-Step Plus, and Prompt-L-Pop (p<0.05). Further, the bond strengths of Clearfil SE Bond and Optibond Solo Plus Self-Etch to sound dentin were higher than those of Prompt-L-Pop, AQ Bond, and Tyrian SPE & One-Step Plus (p<0.05). In conclusion, besides micromechanical interlocking through hybrid layer formation, bond strength of self-etch adhesives to dentin may be increased from additional chemical interaction between the functional monomer and residual hydroxyapatite. The results of this study confirmed that differences in bond strength among self-etching adhesives to both caries-affected and sound dentin were due to chemical composition rather than acidity.     

Dentin bond strengths of simplified adhesives: effect of dentin depth

The objective of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of 3 simplified adhesive systems applied on shallow vs deep dentin. For superficial dentin, 30 human molars were sectioned with a diamond saw to expose dentin immediately below the dentoenamel junction. For deep dentin, 30 molars were sectioned 3 mm below the dentoenamel junction. The teeth were mounted, polished to 600-grit, and randomly assigned to 3 groups (n=10): Single Bonda and OptiBond Solo, total-etch adhesives, and Clearfil Liner Bond 2V, a self-etching primer adhesive. Adhesives were applied, the restorative material Filtek Z250 inserted in a No. 5 gelatin capsule, and light-cured. After 24 hours in water at 37 degrees C, shear bond strength was measured with an Instron at 5 mm/min. The data were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA and Duncan's post-hoc test. The results showed the following shear bond strengths (mean +/- SD in MPa): Single Bond/superficial dentin = 22.1 +/- 2.8; Single Bond/deep dentin = 14.2 +/- 7.0; OptiBond Solo/superficial dentin = 18.9 +/- 4.1; OptiBond Solo/deep dentin = 18.4 +/- 4.8; Clearfil Liner Bond 2V/superficial dentin = 21.0 +/- 7.4; Clearfil Liner Bond 2V/deep dentin = 17.6 +/- 5.9. There were no significant differences between mean shear bond strength for the factor "adhesive system" (P>.822). The Duncan's test showed that Single Bond resulted in higher shear bond strength on superficial dentin than on deep dentin. The mean shear bond strength for Clearfil Liner Bond 2V and OptiBond Solo were not influenced by dentin depth. When data were pooled for dentin depth, deep dentin resulted in statistically lower bond strengths than superficial dentin (P<.01). The influence of dentin depth on shear bond strength depends on the specific composition of the dentin adhesive.     

One-day bonding effectiveness of new self-etch adhesives to bur-cut enamel and dentin

Self-etch adhesives try to solve difficulties commonly associated with the clinical application of etch-and-rinse adhesives. Their application procedure is considered less time-consuming and, more importantly, less technique-sensitive. The main objective of this study was to determine the bonding effectiveness to and the interaction with enamel/dentin of three contemporary one- and two-step self-etch adhesives by microtensile bond strength testing (microTBS), Fe-SEM and TEM when compared to a control two-step self-etch and a three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive. The one-step self-etch adhesive, Adper Prompt (3M ESPE), scored the lowest microTBS of all experimental and control adhesives tested. Conversely, the two-step self-etch adhesives Clearfil SE (Kuraray) and OptiBond Solo Plus Self-Etch (Kerr) approached the values obtained by the three-step etch-and-rinse control (OptiBond FL, Kerr) when bonded to enamel and dentin. Ultramorphological characterization showed that interfacial morphology and the pH of the self-etch primer/adhesive are strongly associated. The interaction with dentin varied from the formation of a submicron, hydroxyapatite-containing hybrid layer for the "mild" self-etch adhesive Clearfil SE to a 3-5 microm thick, hydroxyapatite-depleted hybrid layer for the "strong" self-etch adhesive Adper Prompt. The two-step self-etch adhesives AdheSE and OptiBond Solo Plus Self-Etch presented with a hybrid layer with a hydroxyapatite-depleted top part and a hydroxyapatite-containing base part and were therefore classified into a new group of self-etch adhesives, namely "intermediary strong" self-etch adhesives.

Effect of cavity configuration and aging on the bonding effectiveness of six adhesives to dentin.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect polymerization contraction stress may have on bond durability. METHODS: Bonding effectiveness was assessed by micro-tensile bond strength testing (muTBS) and electron microscopy. The muTBS to flat dentin surfaces and in standardized cavities was determined (this after 1 day as well as 1 year water storage). Six adhesives representing all current classes were applied: two etch-and-rinse (OptiBond FL, Kerr; Scotchbond 1, 3M ESPE), two self-etch (Clearfil SE Bond, Kuraray; Adper Prompt, 3M ESPE) and two glass-ionomer (Fuji Bond LC, GC; Reactmer, Shofu) adhesives. RESULTS: The conventional 3-step etch-and-rinse adhesive OptiBond FL bonded most effectively to dentin, and appeared insensitive to polymerization shrinkage stress and water degradation. The 2-step self-etch adhesive Clearfil SE Bond most closely approached this superior bonding effectiveness and only slightly lost bond strength after 1-year water exposure. The 2-step etch-and-rinse adhesive Scotchbond 1 and the 'strong' 1-step self-etch adhesive Adper Prompt appeared very sensitive to cavity configuration and water-aging effects. The 2-step resin-modified glass-ionomer adhesive Fuji Bond LC only suffered from shrinkage stress, but not from 1-year water-exposure. Remarkable also is the apparent repairability of the 'mild' 1-step glass-ionomer adhesive Reactmer when stored for 1 year in water, in spite of the very low 1-day muTBS. SIGNIFICANCE: Simplified bonding procedures do not necessarily imply improved bonding performance, especially in the long term.     

Bond strengths of one- and two-step self-etch adhesive systems

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: One-bottle self-etching adhesives have been introduced that combine the etchant, primer, and adhesive into a single bottle in an effort to reduce the number of bonding steps. Limited research has been conducted comparing the efficacy of 1-bottle and 2-bottle self-etching adhesives. PURPOSE: This investigation evaluated the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of 3 one-step self-etching adhesives, 2 two-step self-etching adhesives, and a total-etch adhesive. A secondary objective was to evaluate the effect of an intermediary layer of elastic resin on the MTBS of 2 of the self-etching adhesives. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The MTBS of 3 one-step self-etching adhesives (G-Bond, iBond, and Clearfil S(3)), 2 two-step self-etching adhesives (Clearfil SE and Optibond Solo Plus Self-Etch), and a total-etch adhesive (Prime & Bond NT) was evaluated. Microtensile bond strength (MPa) was determined using composite resin (Herculite XRV) cylinders bonded to the dentin surface of human third molars (n=24) using 6 bonding agents. Each bonded tooth specimen was longitudinally sectioned to produce bar-shaped specimens with a square cross-sectional nominal bond area of 1.4 mm(2) (n=20). Bonded specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C +/- 2 degrees C for 72 hours, during which time they were subjected to thermal cycling (1500 cycles, in water baths of 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C, for a dwell time of 30 seconds). Testing was performed on a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min. One-way ANOVA, Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsh multiple range test, and Wald chi square test, each using an overall alpha=.05, were performed on all data. Low-power (x20) microscopic examination of the bond failure was observed for each specimen. RESULTS: The 1-way ANOVA (P<.001) and Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsh multiple range test (P<.05) showed significant differences between the mean MTBS values for several of the bonding agents tested. The Wald chi square test of the Weibull distribution showed significant differences between adhesives (P<.001). CONCLUSION: Of the bonding agents tested, significantly higher MTBS was obtained with the total-etch 2-stage adhesive. The results of this study suggest that there are similar bond strengths between the 1- and 2-bottle self-etch adhesives.     

Self-etch vs etch-and-rinse adhesives: effect of thermo-mechanical fatigue loading on marginal quality of bonded resin composite restorations.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the marginal integrity of dentine adhesives bonded to enamel and dentine, before and after thermo-mechanical loading (TML). METHODS: MO cavities with proximal boxes beneath the CEJ were prepared in extracted human third molars. Direct resin composite restorations (Tetric Ceram) were bonded with 3-step etch-and-rinse (Syntac Classic, Solobond Plus, OptiBond FL), 2-step etch-and-rinse (Admira Bond, Single Bond), 2-step self-etch (AdheSE, Clearfil SE Bond), and 1-step self-etch (all-in-one) adhesives (Adper Prompt, Xeno III, iBond). Marginal gaps were analyzed using SEM of epoxy resin replicas. Bonded interfaces before TML were examined with TEM to identify pre-existing attributes for subsequent marginal disintegration. RESULTS: In enamel, high percentages of gap-free margins were initially identified for all adhesives. After TML, etch-and-rinse adhesives exhibited significantly higher percentages of gap-free margins (approximately 90%) compared with two-step self-etch (approximately 75%) and all-in-one (approximately 55%) adhesives (p<0.05). iBond did not completely etch through the enamel smear layer. In dentine, 89-100% gap-free margins were initially observed. After TML, there were no statistical differences among etch-and-rinse (62-70%) and two-step self-etch (62-63%) adhesives (p>0.05). The all-in-one adhesives exhibited significantly less gap-free margins (<40%) in dentine (p<0.05), with iBond showing the worst marginal integrity (15%). The presence of pre-existing water channels within the adhesives probably expedited water sorption when restorations were under functional stresses. CONCLUSION: Enamel bonding was more effective with phosphoric acid-etching. Etch-and-rinse and 2-step self-etch adhesives showed promising marginal adaptation to dentine and may have a better clinical prognosis than the all-in-one bonding approach.     

Micro-tensile and micro-shear bond strengths of current self-etch adhesives to enamel and dentin

PURPOSE: To evaluate the micro-tensile and micro-shear bond strengths of self-etch adhesives to enamel and dentin. METHODS: Extracted human molars were ground to expose flat enamel or dentin surfaces using wet #600 grit SiC paper. The enamel and dentin surfaces were assigned to four groups of four adhesives: three one-step self-etch adhesives (Clearfil S3 Bond; AQ Bond Plus, G-Bond) and a two-step self-etch adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond). Each of the adhesives were applied to the enamel or dentin surfaces in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions and restored with resin composite (Clearfil AP-X). The bonded teeth were then prepared for either micro-tensile or micro-shear bond strength tests. After storage in saline at 37 degrees C for 24 hours, specimens were stressed at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/minute. Mean bond strengths and modes of failure were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Scheffe's F test and the Chi-square test, respectively, at a 95% level of confidence. RESULTS: SE Bond produced significantly higher values than the one-step adhesives in the micro-shear bond test to enamel (P< 0.05), while no significant differences were found among the adhesives in the micro-tensile bond test (P> 0.05). For dentin, SE Bond showed the highest bond strengths in both micro-tensile and micro-shear bond tests; values were significantly higher than both AQ Bond Plus and G-Bond (P< 0.05).     

Bonding to sound vs caries-affected dentin using photo- and dual-cure adhesives

This study aimed to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (microTBS) of photo- and dual-cure adhesives to sound and caries-affected dentin using total- and self-etch techniques. Human third molars with occlusal caries were prepared as previously described by Nakajima and others (1995). Dentin surfaces were bonded with Optibond Solo Plus (Kerr; photo-cure adhesive) or Optibond Solo Plus + Dual-cure activator (Kerr; dual-cure adhesive) with total- and self-etch technique. Clearfil AP-X (Kuraray) was used for composite buildups. Following storage in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours, the teeth were sectioned into 0.7-mm thick slices to obtain sound and caries-affected dentin slabs, then trimmed to form hour glass shapes with a 1 mm2 cross-sectional area. The specimens were subjected to microtensile testing using EZ-test (Shimadzu) at 1 mm/minute. Data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA and Student's t-Test (p<0.05). Bond strengths to sound dentin with photo- and dual-cure adhesives using total- and self-etch techniques were significantly higher than those to caries-affected dentin. Dual-cure adhesive significantly decreased bond strengths both to sound and caries-affected dentin. The total-etch technique showed no beneficial effect on caries-affected dentin compared with the self-etch technique. Scanning electron microscopic observation of the resin-dentin interfaces revealed that hybrid layers in caries-affected dentin were thicker than those observed in sound dentin with photo- and dual-cure adhesives. Resin infiltration into dentinal tubules of caries-affected dentin was hampered by the presence of mineral deposits.     

Bonding of resin to artificially carious dentin

PURPOSE: To evaluate the bond strength of adhesive resins to artificially carious dentin specimens which were previously exposed to an acid buffer solution for various periods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Flat dentin disks were obtained from superficial occlusal dentin of extracted human third molars and polished with wet silicon carbide paper. Dentin disks were immersed in acid buffer solution for different periods to create the demineralized dentin layer. The first group of demineralized specimens was used for the evaluation of demineralization depth under SEM and the second group was used for the bond strength measurement. Shear bond strengths mediated by three dentin adhesives (Clearfil SE Bond, OptiBond Solo Plus Total-Etch, and OptiBond Solo Plus Self-Etch) were examined. A 0.75-mm-diameter area of dentin was bonded according to the manufacturers' instructions before placing a 0.5-mm-high resin composite cylinder. The bonds were stressed in shear at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. All data were analyzed using ANOVA and LSD multiple comparison test. RESULTS: Depth of demineralization increased with the prolongation of demineralizing time. After dentin specimens were demineralized for up to 24 h, bond strengths of the self-etching adhesives were significantly higher than those of the total-etch adhesive. However, for longer demineralization periods, no statistical differences in bond strengths were observed. SEM photographs showed that resins cannot thoroughly infiltrate through the whole depth of the demineralized dentin layer. CONCLUSION: Bond strengths to demineralized, artificially carious dentin were affected by the depth of demineralization and adhesive resins used.     

Comparison between universal adhesives and two‐step self‐etch adhesives in terms of dentin bond fatigue durability in self‐etch mode

This aim of this study was to compare universal adhesives and two‐step self‐etch adhesives in terms of dentin bond fatigue durability in self‐etch mode. Three universal adhesives – Clearfil Universal, G‐Premio Bond, and Scotchbond Universal Adhesive – and three‐two‐step self‐etch adhesives – Clearfil SE Bond, Clearfil SE Bond 2, and OptiBond XTR – were used. The initial shear bond strength and shear fatigue strength of resin composite bonded to adhesive on dentin in self‐etch mode were determined. Scanning electron microscopy observations of fracture surfaces after bond strength tests were also made. The initial shear bond strength of universal adhesives was material dependent, unlike that of two‐step self‐etch adhesives. The shear fatigue strength of Scotchbond Universal Adhesive was not significantly different from that of two‐step self‐etch adhesives, unlike the other universal adhesives. The shear fatigue strength of universal adhesives differed depending on the type of adhesive, unlike those of two‐step self‐etch adhesives. The results of this study encourage the continued use of two‐step self‐etch adhesive over some universal adhesives but suggest that changes to the composition of universal adhesives may lead to a dentin bond fatigue durability similar to that of two‐step self‐etch adhesives.     

Dentin and enamel bond strengths of dual-cure composite luting agents used with dual-cure dental adhesives

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare dentin and enamel bond strengths obtained with dual-cure composite luting agents when used with dual-cure dental adhesives. METHODS: Human molars were ground flat to expose enamel (n=80) or dentin (n=80). Specimens in each substrate group were randomly assigned to eight treatment sub-groups, according to four adhesive-luting agent combinations and two test conditions (with or without thermocycling). Pre-polymerized composite resin posts (TPH Spectrum) were luted to either the enamel or dentin surfaces with one of the following adhesive-luting agent combinations: (1) Xeno IV Dual Cure (dual-cure self-etch adhesive) and Calibra (dual-cure luting agent); (2) Prime & Bond NT Dual Cure (dual-cure total-etch adhesive) and Calibra; (3) OptiBond All-in-One Dual Cure (dual-cure self-etch adhesive) and Nexus 2 Dual Syringe (dual-cure luting agent); (4) OptiBond Solo Plus Dual Cure (dual-cure total-etch adhesive) and Nexus 2 Dual Syringe. For each treatment sub-group, half the specimens (n=10) were tested after 24h storage in water at 37 degrees C, and the other half (n=10) were tested after thermocycling for 1800 cycles between water baths held at 5 and 55 degrees C, with a dwell time in each bath of 30s, and a transfer time of 10s. Bond strengths were measured in shear mode, and expressed in MPa. The fracture mode (adhesive, cohesive, mixed) was examined. Data were analyzed for statistical significance with a factorial ANOVA and post hoc tests. RESULTS: Mean enamel bond strengths ranged from 8.4MPa for non-thermocycled OptiBond All-in-One|Nexus 2 to 35.5MPa for non-thermocycled Prime & Bond NT|Calibra. Mean dentin bond strengths ranged from 14.5MPa for non-thermocycled OptiBond Solo Plus|Nexus 2 to 30.9MPa for thermocycled Xeno IV|Calibra. The fracture mode was predominantly adhesive for all groups. CONCLUSIONS: On enamel, the total-etch adhesives performed better than their self-etch counterparts, while in dentin, the opposite was found, i.e., the self-etch adhesives performed better than their total-etch counterparts. Thermocycling for 1800 cycles did not affect the SBS of the materials tested to dentin and enamel.     

Effect of fracture strength of primer-adhesive mixture on bonding effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to measure the micro-tensile bond strength (microTBS) of two adhesives to dentin and to correlate this microTBS with the micro-tensile fracture strength (microTFS) of primer-adhesive mixtures of the two adhesives. METHODS: The three-step etch&rinse adhesive OptiBond FL (Kerr) and the two-step self-etch adhesive Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray) were used to bond Filtek Z100 (3M ESPE) to twenty mid-coronal dentin surfaces. The microTBS was determined at 1 and 24 h after light-curing. In addition, the microTFS of primer-adhesive mixtures (primer:adhesive=1:3 by weight) and of the pure adhesives (controls) were measured after the same time intervals. RESULTS: The microTBS to dentin of OptiBond FL at 24 h was significantly higher than at 1 h and than the microTBS of Clearfil SE Bond at 24 h. The mean microTFS of the primer-adhesive mixtures was always lower than the microTFS of the respective adhesives. The highest reduction in microTFS due to mixing primer with the adhesive resin was measured for Clearfil SE Bond. Both the microTFS of the primer-adhesive mixtures and the pure adhesives of OptiBond FL and Clearfil SE Bond increased with time. SIGNIFICANCE: The early 1 h microTBS to dentin was lower than the 24 h microTBS for OptiBond FL, but not for Clearfil SE Bond. Differences in polymerization efficiency as well as in the resulting interfacial strength may explain such varying early bond strengths to dentin.     

丁香油酚对全酸蚀/自酸蚀牙本质粘接系统微拉伸强度的影响

Micro-shear bond strength of five single-step adhesives to dentin

The micro-shear bond strengths (MSBSs) of five single-step self-etch adhesives (Adper Prompt L-Pop [APL], AQ Bond plus [AQP], OBF-2 [OB2], Reactmer Bond [RB], and Xeno III [XIII]) were compared with that of a two-step self-etch adhesive, Clearfil SE Bond [SE]. The adhesives were applied on dentin surfaces, according to manufacturers' instructions, for bonding of resin composite to dentin. After 24 hours, a micro-shear bond test was carried out and the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni test (p<0.05). The mean MSBSs in MPa were APL: 22.8, AQP: 37.4, OB2: 34.7, RB: 28.3, XIII: 30.3, and SE: 47.2. Among the single-step adhesives, the MSBS of AQP and OB2 were significantly higher than APL (p<0.05). In conclusion, the single-step adhesives used in this study, apart from AQP, produced significantly lower MSBS than the two-step adhesive (p<0.05).     

Bonding efficacy of single-step self-etch systems to sound primary and permanent tooth dentin

Currently, there is little information regarding the bonding efficacy of single-step self-etch systems to primary tooth dentin. This study examined the microtensile bond strength of single-step self-etch systems (Clearfil tri-S Bond and One-Up Bond F Plus) to sound primary and permanent tooth dentin. Adhesives were applied to flat samples of primary and permanent tooth dentin, and resin composites were bonded according to the manufacturers' instructions. After 24 hours of storage in distilled water at 37 degrees C, hour glass-shaped specimens were produced. They were subjected to microtensile testing at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/minute. The results were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Tukey HSD post-hoc test (alpha=0.05). Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) observations of the adhesive-treated dentin surfaces and the resin/dentin interface were also conducted. The bond strengths of primary tooth dentin were significantly lower than that of permanent tooth dentin for both self-etch systems: 44.7 +/- 10.4 versus 54.3 +/- 9.0 MPa for Clearfil tri-S Bond and 40.6 +/- 9.9 versus 50.0 +/- 8.7 MPa for One-Up Bond F Plus (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant interaction between the type of adhesive system and the dentin substrate (p=0.957). Although there was no statistically significant difference in the mean values among the different adhesive systems (p=0.094), there was a statistically significant difference in mean values among the different dentin substrates (p<0.001), which were lower for primary tooth dentin than for permanent tooth dentin. The failure modes were also independent of the type of dentin but dependent on the adhesive systems, an equal distribution among the 3 types of failure for Clearfil tri-S Bond and cohesive failures in adhesives for One-Up Bond F Plus. FE-SEM observations of dentin to which adhesive had been applied revealed that the smear layer had been removed and the collagen fibers exposed. Though the bond strengths to primary tooth dentin were lower than to permanent tooth dentin, excellent adaptation of the single-step self-etch systems to both dentin substrates was observed by FE-SEM. Further studies are required to determine the long-term clinical performance of these adhesive systems when applied to primary tooth dentin.     

Effect of water storage on bond strength of self-etching adhesives to dentin

AIM: The objective of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of self-etching adhesive systems one week and one year after storage in water. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Fragments from the buccal surfaces of 45 bovine teeth were prepared (12 mm in length x 5 mm in width x 1.0 mm in thickness). Dentin surfaces were wet-abraded with 600-grit SiC paper to create a standardized smear layer. Samples were randomly assigned to 18 experimental groups (n=5), according to nine adhesive systems tested (Single Bond; Adper Prompt L-Pop; iBond; One-Up Bond F; Xeno III; Clearfil SE Bond; Optibond Solo Plus SE; Tyrian SPE/One-Step Plus; and UniFil Bond) and two water-storage times (one week and one year). Adhesives were applied according to the manufacturers' instructions. Z250 composite was applied into the molds to fill up the internal diameter volume of a Tygon tubing mold (1.0 mm high/0.7 mm internal diameter). Micro-shear bond strengths were determined using an apparatus attached to an Instron Universal Testing Machine (0.5 mm/min). Data were statistically analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey's test (5%). RESULTS: One year after water storage the dentin bond strength of all adhesive systems reduced significantly, except for One-Up Bond F. CONCLUSION: Water-storage time decreased the bond strength for most dentin bonding agents tested.     

Effect of simulated pulpal pressure on dentin permeability and adhesion of self-etch adhesives.

OBJECTIVES: Dentin bonds made with one-bottle etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesives are affected by the formation of interfacial blisters, porosities and deterioration. The first objective of this study was to evaluate the fluid flow through resin-dentin interfaces created by self-etching adhesives applied to deep dentin using a replica technique and by directly measuring dentin permeability (P). The second objective was to examine the effect of intrapulpal pressure on the microtensile bond strength of these adhesives. METHODS: A fluid-transport model was used to measure the fluid permeability (%P) through different adhesives. Impressions of bonded dentin were taken with a polyvinylsiloxane impression material to monitor fluid transudation from the surface of the adhesive. Positive replicas were fabricated for SEM examination. Two groups of resin-bonded specimens (pulpal pressure versus no pulpal pressure) were created for microtensile bond strength evaluation. Adhesive application was performed under 0 cm H(2)O. Pulpal pressure group was submitted to 20 cm H(2)O of pulpal pressure during build-up procedures. RESULTS: Clearfil Protect Bond exhibited the lowest permeability and fewest numbers of fluid droplets over the surface of the bonded dentin. G-Bond and Clearfil-S3 Bond were more permeable than Clearfil Protect Bond. One Up Bond F was the most permeable adhesive. A highly significant correlation was observed between the relative permeability of these adhesives (%P) and the number of fluid droplets on the adhesive surfaces. The application of pulpal pressure significantly reduced bond strength. SIGNIFICANCE: Resin-dentin bonds created by contemporary self-etch adhesives are susceptible to fluid permeation induced by pulpal pressure. HEMA-based adhesives showed the largest reductions in bond strengths after pulpal pressure application.
