In vivo influence of residual moisture on microtensile bond strengths of one-bottle adhesives.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the microtensile bond strengths of three dentin adhesives applied on clinically moist dentin or on dentin that was dried with air for 5 seconds. The null hypothesis to test was that the level of residual moisture does not influence bond strengths when restorations are placed in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-four premolars scheduled to be extracted for orthodontic reasons from patients between the ages of 15 and 23 years were restored with one of the following adhesive systems followed by a mini hybrid composite resin: Excite (Ivoclar/Vivadent), an ethanol-based dentin adhesive; Prime & Bond NT (Dentsply/Caulk), an acetone-based dentin adhesive; and Single Bond (3M ESPE), an ethanol and water-based dentin adhesive. After extraction, the specimens were sectioned with a slow-speed diamond saw in two perpendicular directions to obtain sticks with a cross-section of 0.7 +/- 0.2 mm2. The specimens were attached to a Geraldeli device and fractured using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm per minute. RESULTS: For each dentin adhesive, there were no statistical differences between means for dry dentin versus moist dentin. Single Bond and Prime & Bond NT ranked in the same statistical subset regardless of the moisture condition of the substrate. Both Excite, dry, and Excite, moist, resulted in statistically lower bond strengths than Single Bond, moist, but similar to those of Single Bond, dry, Prime & Bond NT, moist, and Prime & Bond NT, dry. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, the level of residual moisture did not influence microtensile bond strengths. Clinically, the degree of moisture left on the dentin surface upon rinsing off the etching gel may not be as relevant as previously reported in laboratory studies.

Microleakage of Class V composites using different placement and curing techniques: an in vitro study.

PURPOSE: To evaluate microleakage at enamel and dentin margins of two composite resins, using bulk and incremental placement techniques, "rebonding", and facial and lingual curing methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred standardized Class V cavity preparations were made on the facial surface of extracted human premolars and were randomly assigned to 10 groups. Single Bond was used as the dentin/enamel adhesive. A heavily filled composite resin, Z250, and a microfill, Silux Plus, were inserted and polymerized using five different techniques: (1) incremental placement and facial curing; (2) incremental placement, facial curing and rebonding; (3) bulk placement and facial curing; (4) bulk placement, facial curing and rebonding; (5) incremental placement and lingual and facial curing. After the restorations were finished and polished, the margins of those in the rebonded groups were etched, rinsed, and dried. The adhesive resin, Single Bond, was applied at the composite resin-tooth interface and light-cured. All the specimens were thermocycled, stained with 1% methylene blue, sectioned, and evaluated for leakage (0-4 scale) by two examiners. RESULTS: Almost no leakage occurred at enamel margins. At the cementum margins, differences in microleakage related to restorative material or technique were not statistically significant. However, leakage at the cementum margins was significantly greater than at the enamel margins for both composite resin materials.

Influence of NaOCl deproteinization on shear bond strength in function of dentin depth.

PURPOSE: To determine the influence of NaOCl application on shear bond strengths (SBS) to superficial and deep dentin, using Prime & Bond 2.1. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Superficial and deep dentin was exposed in 40 extracted third molars by sectioning the occlusal surface immediately under the enamel-dentin junction or close to the pulp chamber. After polishing the dentin disks (600-grit SiC), they were assigned to two groups: (1) 36% orthophosphoric acid for 15 seconds, or (2): 36% orthophosphoric acid for 15 seconds followed by 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for 2 minutes. The dentin adhesive was applied as per manufacturer's instructions, followed by TPH resin-based composite. The specimens were stored in water for 24 hours at 37 degrees C and thermocycled x500 and SBS were determined. Data were statistically analyzed with ANOVA and Student's t-test. RESULTS: For acid-etched specimens, superficial dentin resulted in statistically higher mean SBS than deep dentin. After NaOCl application, deep and superficial dentin resulted in statistically similar mean SBS. Collagen removal did not affect mean SBS on superficial dentin, while SBS values on deep dentin were increased.

Effect of dentin conditioning time on nanoleakage.

OBJECTIVES: To study the nanoleakage pattern in the dentin hybrid layer by using different dentin adhesives. The null hypotheses tested in this study were: 1) dentin conditioning time does not affect nanoleakage within the hybrid layer; 2) the type of dentin adhesive used does not affect nanoleakage. METHODS: Standardized Class V cavities were prepared in 30 intact human molars on the buccal and lingual surfaces. The specimens were randomly assigned to 2 total-etch dentin adhesives (OptiBond SOLO Plus [OPS, Kerr] and One-Step [ONS, BISCO Inc]) and 2 self-etch dentin adhesives (Clearfil SE Bond [CSE, Kuraray] and Adper Prompt L-Pop [APL, 3M ESPE]). The specimens were etched or conditioned for 15 seconds, 30 seconds or 60 seconds. Upon restoration of the Class V cavities with the proprietary resin composite, the specimens were isolated with nail polish except for a 2.0-mm rim around the restoration, and they were immersed in 50 wt% ammoniacal silver nitrate solution (pH=9.5) for 24 hours followed by 8 hours of immersion in photo-developing solution to reduce the silver ions to metallic silver. The specimens were fixed, dehydrated and processed for FESEM and TEM. Silver penetration was measured along the cervical wall, and data were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric tests at a significance level of 95%. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences among the experimental groups for the factor "conditioning time" (p>0.926). There were significant differences for the variable "dentin adhesive" (p<0.0001). The least amount of nanoleakage within the hybrid layer occurred with CSE, while ONS resulted in the greatest penetration of silver ions. The adhesives OPS and APL ranked in the intermediary subset. Under TEM, all adhesives resulted in some degree of nanoleakage within the hybrid layer. Both spotted/reticular and water-tree nanoleakage patterns were observed. SIGNIFICANCE: Longer conditioning times did not increase nanoleakage within the hybrid layer. Nanoleakage varied with the type of adhesive used.

Use of a tooth-colored post for anterior restorations.

The restoration of endodontically treated teeth is still a challenge to the general dentist. Extensive caries or traumatic fracture may result in insufficient coronal tooth structure remaining to support a core. The introduction of fiber post systems in the 1990s has provided dentists with new options for the restoration of the pulpless tooth. This clinical article demonstrates the use of a fiber post and a composite buildup material.

Immunohistochemical analysis of collagen fibrils within the hybrid layer: a FEISEM study.

This study evaluated the immunohistochemical labeling pattern of dentin collagen fibrils within hybrid layers created by different bonding systems using high resolution SEM. Four different adhesive materials, including self-etching and total-etching systems, were examined: Prime & Bond NT, OptiBond SOLO Plus, Single Bond and Clearfil Protect Bond. All materials were applied to the dentin of extracted human third molars. After cutting the bonded specimens transversely, an anti-collagen type I antibody was incubated on the surface of the dentin-adhesive interface and gold-conjugated secondary antibody was applied to reveal collagen labeling under high resolution SEM. The hybrid layers showed a significant number of collagen fibrils embedded in the resin matrix. The presence of exposed dentin collagen fibrils, as determined by positive labeling with an anti-type I collagen monoclonal antibody, is considered an indication of the presence of incompletely embedded fibrils and, thus, the quality of dentin matrix hybridization. The hybrid layers produced by total-etching systems showed higher labeling compared to those produced by the self-etching system. Positive collagen labeling was also found along the resin tags produced by total-etching adhesive systems.

The effect of adhesive and flowable composite on postoperative sensitivity: 2-week results.

OBJECTIVE: To measure 2-week postoperative sensitivity in Class II composite restorations placed with a self-etching adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond) or a total-etch adhesive (Prime&Bond NT) with or without a flowable composite as cervical increment. METHOD AND MATERIALS: Upon approval by the University of Guarulhos Committee on Human Subjects, 100 restorations were inserted in 46 patients who required Class II restorations in their molars and premolars. Enamel and dentin walls were conditioned with a self-etching primer (for Clearfil SE Bond) or etched with 34% phosphoric acid (for Prime&Bond NT). A 1- to 2-mm-thick increment of a flowable composite (Filtek Flow) was used in the proximal box in 50% of the restorations of each adhesive. Preparations were restored with a packable composite (Surefil). The restorations were evaluated preoperatively and 2 weeks postoperatively for sensitivity to cold, air, and masticatory forces using a visual analog scale. Marginal integrity of the accessible margins was also evaluated. Statistical analysis used a mixed linear model with subject as a random effect. RESULTS: Ninety-eight teeth from 44 subjects were observed at 2 weeks. The type of adhesive and use of flowable composite had no significant effects or interaction for any of the four outcomes of interest, ie, change from baseline to 2 weeks in sensitivity and response time for the cold or air stimulus. For the air stimulus, the overall average change from baseline was not significant for either sensitivity or response time. For the cold stimulus, the overall average change from baseline was significant for both sensitivity and response time. No case of sensitivity to masticatory forces was observed. CONCLUSION: No differences in postoperative sensitivity were observed between a self-etch adhesive and a total-etch adhesive at 2 weeks. The use of flowable composite did not decrease postoperative sensitivity.

Enamel bond strengths of pairs of adhesives from the same manufacturer.

Most manufacturers of dental adhesives have both a total-etch adhesive and a simplified self-etching adhesive available on the market. This study measured the enamel microtensile bond strengths of five pairs of enamel adhesives as a function of enamel roughness. The proximal surfaces of 25 extracted mandibular molars were sectioned with a diamond saw to obtain 50 enamel rectangles with an area of 8x4 mm2. The enamel rectangles were divided in two equal parts via a groove to obtain 4x4 mm2 squared bonding surfaces. One half was roughened with a coarse diamond bur under water for five seconds, while the other half was kept intact. The enamel surfaces were randomly assigned to 10 enamel adhesives grouped into five pairs. Each pair included one self-etch adhesive and one total-etch adhesive from the same manufacturer: Adper Prompt and Adper Single Bond (PLP and SB, 3M ESPE); AdheSE and Excite (ADH and EXC, Ivoclar Vivadent); OptiBond Solo Plus SE and OptiBond Solo Plus (OPTSE and OPT, Kerr); Tyrian SPE/One-Step Plus and One-Step (TYR and OST, BISCO, Inc); Xeno III and Prime&Bond NT (XEN and PBNT, Dentsply). The adhesives were applied according to the manufacturers' instructions. Buildups were constructed with Filtek Z250 (3M ESPE). The specimens were sectioned in sticks with a cross section of 0.8+/-0.2 mm2 and tested to failure in tension at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/minute. Two-way ANOVA followed by Duncan's post-hoc test at p<0.05 was computed. The highest mean bond strengths were obtained with total-etch adhesives. For "roughened enamel," three pairs of materials had statistically different means in which the total-etch adhesive resulted in statistically higher bond strengths (MPa) than the corresponding self-etch adhesive: EXC (36.6) > ADH (23.0) at p<0.026; OPT (34.5) > OPTSE (25.3) at p<0.028; PBNT (36.6) > XEN (19.5) at p<0.0001. For "intact enamel," four pairs of materials resulted in statistically different means: SB (31.7) > PLP (20.9) at p<0.049; EXC (37.9) > ADH (16.3) at p<0.0001; OST (30.1) > TYR (18.0); PBNT (43.8) > XEN (16.0) at p<0.0001. When the same adhesive was compared on intact vs roughened enamel, all the self-etch materials resulted in lower bond strengths on intact enamel, but this difference was only significant for TYR (p<0.042) and ADH (p<0.050). For total-etch materials, only OPT resulted in statistically lower bond strengths when applied on intact enamel p<0.011).
