Abstract

Laboratory adhesion tests are performed as screening tests prior to the clinical evaluation of dentin bonding restorative systems. These tests include the determination of the bond strength to dentin and the evaluation of microleakage and marginal gap dimensions at the tooth-restoration interface. No standardized adhesion tests are available as the methodologies vary tremendously from one laboratory to another. The variable factors are reviewed in this manuscript and laboratory studies to standardize these procedures are proposed.

Improvement of the long-term adhesive strength between metal stem and polymethylmethacrylate bone cement by a silica/silane interlayer system.

A loss of adhesive strength between metal stem and bone cement is clinically found to be a serious problem in total hip arthroplasty and causes many operative revisions. The objective of this study was to improve the long-term adhesive strength at this interface. A new silica/silane interlayer coating system is introduced. The layers are designed to bond the metal stem surface to the polymethylmethacrylate bone cement marginally leakage free. In vitro tensile tests were performed on specimens of TiAl6V4 and CoCrMo that were cemented by pairs with different bone cements with and without the new coating system. The specimens were stored in isotonic saline solution up to 150 days. The adhesive strength decreased about 75% within 30 days of storage on specimens of both metal alloys that were conventionally cemented without the new interlayer system. With the new coating, the high initial adhesive strength (40-50 MPa) could be stabilized for TiAl6V4 over 150 days. For the same 150-day storage period, the adhesive strength of the coated CoCrMo alloy still decreased but the decrease was only half that experienced by the uncoated CoCrMo. The loss of adhesive strength on CoCrMo specimens could be reduced if the metal surface was activated by a plasma treatment. The new coating interface system could help to considerably reduce revision operations caused by debonding effects at the interface metal/polymethylmethacrylate bone cement.

A direct-staining method to evaluate the mucoadhesion of polymers from aqueous dispersion.

A novel technique to evaluate polymer adhesion to human buccal cells following exposure to aqueous polymer dispersion, both in vitro and in vivo, is described. Adhering polymer has been visualised by staining with 0.1% (w/v) of either Alcian blue (60 min) or Eosin (10 min) solution, uncomplexed dye being removed by 0.25 M sucrose washings. The extent of polymer adhesion was quantified by measuring the relative staining intensity of control and polymer-treated cells by image analysis. In vitro, Carbopol 974P, polycarbophil (Noveon AA-1) and chitosan (CL 113) were found to adhere to human buccal cells from 0.10% (w/w) aqueous dispersions of these polymers. Following in vivo administration as a mouthwash, these polymers persisted upon the human buccal mucosa for at least 1 h.
