A single-component bonding system microleakage study.

Abstract

The microleakage of a one-component bonding system is compared to a two-component system and a control. Class V cavity preparations were prepared in extracted teeth under high speed and water coolant so that incisal/occlusal margins were in enamel, and gingival margins were in dentin. Group I was restored with composite and no bonding agent; Group II was restored with Prime and Bond and composite, and Group III was restored with ProBond and composite. All specimens were thermocycled in fuchsin dye to evaluate the degree of microleakage. Significant differences were observed between the no bonding agent group and the Prime and Bond and ProBond groups. The results indicate that the one-step dentin bonding system has the ability to prevent microleakage effectively at both composite-enamel and composite-dentin tooth surface interfaces.

Extractable free monomers from self-cured dental sealants resulting from dispensing errors.

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) experiments were performed on a series of commercially available self-curing dental sealant materials that were deliberately mismixed. The goal of the experiments was to measure the amount of extractable sealant under conditions of nonideal processing as might happen clinically. The stoichiometry of the two component resins ranged from a 2/1 to a 1/2 catalyst to base mixture using a commercially available self-cure sealant that was to be mixed 1/1 based on the manufacturer's recommendations. Following fabrication the samples were immersed in an ethanol/water mixture as an extraction fluid that was then analyzed using HPLC. Values other than the 1-1 stoichiometry led to a statistically larger extractable content of bis-glycidyl methacrylate relative to the control. The extractable fraction of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate also increased with mismixing, although statistical differences varied somewhat more. Given the increased concerns about the effects of extractable monomers on the endocrine system, there may be an increased need to maintain proper stoichiometry in a clinical setting.

Effect of water content on the physical properties of model dentine primer and bonding resins.

OBJECTIVE: Primers and adhesives containing hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) are placed on moist dentine even though several studies indicate that water may interfere with the polymerization reaction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of increasing amounts of water on the physical properties of a model dentine primer resin (HEMA) and model dentine bonding resin (a mixture of HEMA and Bis-GMA). METHODS: Miniature (ca 10 x 0.5 mm (long x thick) hour-glass shaped and parallel-sided specimens were created by casting the monomer or comonomer mixtures into appropriately shaped moulds. The water content was either 0, 5, 9, 17 or 29 vol%. One hour after polymerization, half the specimens were subjected to physical testing under dry conditions. The other half were immersed in water for 24 h and then tested while wet. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS), modulus of elasticity (E), percent elongation at failure, and toughness were calculated. RESULTS: The properties of the dry-stored primer and bonding resins were not altered by water incorporation up to 9 vol%. Higher water content lowered the physical properties (P < 0.05). Immersion of primers polymers in water for 24 h significantly decreased their properties. Water immersion of the bonding resins was unaffected only for specimens containing 0 or 5 vol% water. CONCLUSIONS: The plasticizing effects of extrinsic water are far more important than the effects of intrinsic water in poly-HEMA resin. Hybrid layers composed primarily of poly-HEMA would be expected to be more elastic than those made with bifunctional, cross-linked polymer chains.

Comparative wear ranking of dental restoratives with the BIOMAT wear simulator.

Fundamental in vitro wear tests are important for the study of wear mechanisms, provision of data during material development and screening of materials prior to clinical trials. The aim of this project was to compare the wear of six dental restoratives using the BIOMAT wear simulator which was developed to simulate jaw movements and stresses generated in the occlusal contact areas during the chewing process. The correlation of wear to hardness of the restoratives was also assessed. Wear ranking from the least to the most volumetric wear was as follows: high copper unicompositional alloy, Tytin (T) < high copper admixed alloy, Valiant PhD (V) < microfilled composite resin, Silux Plus (S) < gallium alloy, Galloy (G) < heavily filled composite resin, Z100 (Z) < hybrid composite resin, P50 (P). The high copper amalgam alloys had significantly greater wear resistance when compared with all the composite resins. The gallium alloy, microfilled and heavily filled composite resins also exhibited significantly less wear than the hybrid resin. Wear ranking with the BIOMAT simulator was similar to that obtained in vivo. Ranking from the hardest to softest material: high copper unicompositional alloy, T < gallium alloy, G < high copper admixed alloy, V < hybrid composite resin, P < heavily filled composite resin, Z < microfilled composite resin, S. The amalgam alloys were significantly harder than the heavily filled and microfilled composite resins. There was no apparent correlation between wear performance and material hardness.
