Conditioning of root canals prior to dowel cementation with composite luting cement and two dentine adhesive systems.

Two hundred and forty root canals of extracted single-rooted teeth were prepared to the same dimension, and Dentatus posts of equal size were cemented without screwing them into the dentine. Five cleansing solutions and two dentine adhesive systems were evaluated prior to post-cementation using chemical-cure composite resin. 'Pull-out' tests were then conducted in order to evaluate the bond strength of these intra-pulpal posts. The use of Conclude (composite luting cement) alone, with or without the cleansing solutions, resulted in significantly lower pull-out forces. Scotchbond Dental Adhesive gave significantly better results, regardless of the cleansing solution used. Gluma Dentine Adhesive significantly increased the pull-out forces only when used with its supplied cleanser or Tubulicid.

Clinical compliance of two resilient denture liners.

Although intra-oral-setting resilient denture liners have been used for 30 years to treat the severely resorbed residual ridges of elderly patients, their clinical physical properties are not well understood. The effect of clinical usage on the compliance (compressibility, flexibility) of two intra-oral-setting resilient denture liners was measured in 10 patients, for up to 30 days. The clinical compliance of Material B (Coe-Comfort) was found to be significantly greater than Material A (Veltec) for up to 14 days. At 24 h both materials had significant compliance reductions from the original 1 h measurement. These compliance reductions continued throughout the testing period. For up to 14 days of clinical usage there were no significant differences between the compliance reductions of the two materials. The study suggests that (i) Material B would provide more effective tissue conditioning of abused residual ridge mucosa than Material A; and (ii) a functional impression made with these materials should be left in the mouth for at least 24 h before the cast is poured.

Effect of dentine conditioners on the bonding efficacy of one-bottle adhesives.

The bonding efficacy of four one-bottle adhesives (OptiBond Solo Plus, Gluma Comfort Bond, One Step and Prime & Bond NT) and a multi-step adhesive (Clearfil Photo Bond) as a control was evaluated. The dentine cavity wall was conditioned with phosphoric acid or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and the marginal integrity was estimated by measuring the wall-to-wall contraction gap width between the composite and the dentine cavity surface. In the positive control group, the adhesive was applied following glyceryl methacrylate (GM) priming. The analyses were performed by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests. One-bottle adhesives were clearly inferior to the multi-step bonding system in marginal integrity when dentine was conditioned with EDTA. The present findings also suggested that the marginal sealing ability of ethanol-based one-bottle systems was better than acetone-based one-bottle systems when dentine surfaces were conditioned with EDTA. Nevertheless, further investigations are needed on the function of fillers in one-bottle adhesives for the prevention of contraction gaps.

Effect of adhesive systems associated with resin-modified glass ionomer cements.

The bonding of resin-modified glass ionomer cements to dentin remains a challenge in clinical routine. In an attempt to improve this property, different materials and techniques have been proposed. This study investigated the shear bond strength of resin-modified glass ionomer cements (Vitremer, 3M/ESPE and Fuji II LC Improved, GC) to human dentin using two one-bottle adhesive systems (Prime & Bond 2.1, Dentsply and Single Bond, 3M/ESPE). The restored specimens were stored in deionized water for 24 h at 37 +/- 1 degrees C, and then the bonded surfaces were tested in shear strength using a Universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm min(-1). Bond strength means were recorded and failure modes were assessed with a stereomicroscope at 40x magnification. Data were submitted to two-way anova and multiple comparisons were performed using a Tukey statistical test (P < 0.05). Fuji II LC Improved yielded higher bond strength (P < 0.05) than Vitremer in all experimental conditions. No statistically significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed among the proposed dentin surface treatments, although a slight decrease in bond strength was observed when phosphoric acid was used alone. Bond strengths of the resin-modified glass ionomer cements to dentin seemed to be more material-dependent than surface treatment-dependent. It may be concluded that the one-bottle adhesive systems tested in this study did not improve the bond strength of the resin-modified glass ionomer cements to dentin.

Effect of Gluma in acid-etched dentin cavities.

The marginal adaptation of a restorative resin in combination with a dentin bonding agent was investigated in dentin cavities treated either with a strong solution of phosphoric acid or with an 0.5 M EDTA solution neutralized to pH 7.4 with NaOH. It was found that both the maximum marginal contraction gap and the extent of the gap were significantly increased in acid-etched cavities when compared to cavities cleaned with the EDTA solution.

Toxic effects of two dental materials on human buccal epithelium in vitro and monkey buccal mucosa in vivo.

Confluent cultures of human buccal epithelial cells were exposed to graded dilutions of Gluma Bond or 3M Etching Liquid for 5 min. The cytotoxic effects induced by this treatment were observed (epithelial cell damage, growth inhibition). In vivo, monkey buccal mucosa was exposed to Gluma Bond or 3M Etching Liquid for 5 min. Biopsies were taken after 24 h, and the buccal epithelium processed for light microscopic examination. The toxic reactions to Gluma Bond were far more pronounced compared with the toxic reactions to 3M Etching Liquid in both models. Data obtained suggest that the in vitro model may be useful in assessing mucosal toxicity and in studying mechanisms of toxic action.

Aluminum oxalate/glycine solutions as pretreatment in the Gluma bonding system.

Dentin and enamel surfaces were treated with solutions of aluminum oxalate (AO), the pH of which was adjusted by glycine. Gluma as well as an enamel bonding agent were applied to the surfaces before the placement of a composite resin. On shear bond testing, there was obtained a strong adhesion that was influenced by the pH of the AO solutions. Dentin and enamel specimens for examination by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were also prepared and treated as above. Enamel specimens showed a very definite etching pattern, and on the dentin surfaces a precipitate was observed. The amount of this product seemed to decrease as the pH increased.

Microleakage of composite restorations bonded with three new dentin bonding agents.

This report evaluates the impact of two dentin bonding techniques on microleakage of Class V restorations bonded with three new dentin bonding systems. Forty-eight extracted human premolar and molar teeth were randomly assigned to four groups for bonding with EBS Bonding System (ESPE, Seefeld, Germany); Syntac Single-Component (Ivoclar-Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein); Scotchbond 1 (3M Dental Products, St. Paul, Minnesota); and a control, Prime and Bond 2.1 (Dentsply, DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany). Cavities were cut in both the buccal and lingual surfaces. The coronal half of each preparation was in enamel, and the gingival half was in cementum or dentin. The cavities were restored with composite after the application of dentin bonding agents, using two different drying techniques for each material. The teeth were stored in distilled water for 6 days at 37 degrees C and then thermocycled. The restorations were examined microscopically for leakage, using Procion brilliant red as a marker. All groups showed microleakage at both the enamel and dentin margins. At the gingival margin, there was no significant difference between any of the experimental materials and the control for either wet bonding (Kruskal-Wallis: p = .8920) or dry bonding (Kruskal-Wallis: p .9973); or between the two techniques for each material (Mann-Whitney U in all cases p > .05). Scanning electron microscopic examination confirmed that the zones of microleakage, as indicated by dye penetration, were principally resincohesive failures within the collagen-rich hybrid layer. Three water-based bonding agents were unable to prevent microleakage at either the enamel or dentin margins of Class V cavities regardless of which bonding technique was employed. All systems behaved equally.

Effects of different re-wetting techniques on dentin shear bond strengths.

PURPOSE: For contemporary hydrophilic resin adhesive systems, bonding to dentin is improved if the substrate is maintained in a hydrated state following acid-etching. The purpose of this study was to compare the dentin shear bond strengths of two single-bottle adhesives (one acetone-based and one ethanol-based) applied under different etched-dentin conditions: dry, wet, or dry and re-wetted with different solutions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bovine incisors (N = 120) were mounted in acrylic, polished to 600-grit, and randomly assigned to 12 groups (n = 10). Dentin was etched for 15 seconds using 35% phosphoric acid, rinsed, and either blot-dried, air-dried, or air-dried and re-wetted with different solutions (distilled water, Gluma Desensitizer, Aqua-Prep, and 5% glutaraldehyde in water). Two adhesives (Single Bond and Prime & Bond NT) were applied to each of the surface conditions following manufacturers' instructions. After adhesive application and curing, composite was applied in a No. 5 gelatin capsule and light-cured. Specimens were loaded in shear, using an Instron at 5 mm per minute. Shear bond strengths were calculated by dividing the failure load by the bonded surface area. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a post hoc Tukey test. RESULTS: Mean shear bond strengths ranged from 12.5 to 26.6 MPa for Single Bond and from 5.6 to 14.7 MPa for Prime & Bond NT. Significant differences were found in both groups of materials (p < .001). The three highest mean bond strengths were obtained (in order) on dentin that was re-wetted with Gluma Desensitizer, re-wetted with Aqua-Prep, or never dried. Differences between these surface conditions were not statistically significant for either material.

Protein A immobilization and HIgG adsorption onto porous/nonporous and swellable HEMA-incorporated polyEGDMA microspheres.

Both non swellable and swellable poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads were produced by suspension copolymerization. These microbeads were modified by immobilization of a spacer-arm (hexamethylene diamine (HMDA)) and protein A. The optimal values for modifications were as follows: sodium periodate concentration, 1.0 mgml(-1); HMDA concentration, 4 mgml(-1); and glutaraldehyde concentration, 0.070 microgml(-1). Adsorption of protein A onto the plain and periodate oxidized poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads were very close to each other, and were 0.01-0.02 mg protein A on the 1-g Microbeads I and II, respectively. Protein A immobilization on poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads were studied at different temperatures, times, and pHs using single protein solution containing different amounts of proteins. The optimal values for immobilization were as follows: the initial protein A concentration, 0.1 mgml(-1); temperature, 25 degrees C; pH, 9.5; and immobilization time, 120 min. Incorporation of protein A resulted in 1.420 and 1.825 mg protein A on the 1-g Microbeads I and II, respectively. HIgG adsorption capacity on the protein A-incorporated poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads is 27 and 35 mg HIgGg(-1) polymer for Microbeads I and II, respectively.

A comparison of the tensile bond strengths of composite resins to longitudinal and transverse sections of enamel prisms in human teeth.

The tensile bond strengths of composite resins to transverse and longitudinal sections of enamel prisms etched with phosphoric acid were examined. The tensile bond strengths were 18-19 MPa to the transverse and 10-11 MPa to the longitudinal sections and thus were influenced by the nature of the enamel crystal planes. These facts suggest that composite resin restorations will have a longer life span if the enamel walls are given marginal forms to produce transverse rather than longitudinal sections of enamel prisms.

In vitro release characteristics of hard shell capsule products coated with aqueous- and organic-based enteric polymers.

In this article, an overview of the rationale for the use of enteric coated (EC) dosage forms is presented. The benefits and disadvantages inherent in the use of aqueous dispersions and organic solutions of the various polymers to generate these products are discussed. The comparative dissolution stability of a hard shell capsule product coated with enteric polymers applied as either aqueous dispersions, or as organic solutions, were assessed under accelerated conditions of storage. Polymethacrylic acid methacrylate copolymer, cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) and polyvinyl acetate phthalate (PVAP), along with the corresponding commercially available aqueous dispersions, Eudragit L30D, Aquateric, and Coateric, were employed in these studies as enteric polymers. Diethyl phthalate (DEP) was used as the plasticizer and procainamide HCl 250 mg capsules served as the substrate. Storage of the coated capsules at 37 degrees C/80% RH and at 45 degrees C for 2 months revealed that, while the stability of Eudragit L30D coatings are comparable or superior to the corresponding organic-based coatings, Coateric films are markedly unstable when compared with PVAP coatings applied through the use of organic vehicles. After storage at 37 degrees C/80% RH, Aquateric-based capsules demonstrated stability comparable to CAP organic-based coatings only when a protective seal coat was present. The performance failures of the capsules that occur upon storage primarily result in a loss of gastric resistance. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and thermomechanical analysis (TMA) of the different coatings revealed differences in the film-forming properties of the polymer films and provide an explanation for the changes that occur during storage of the coated capsules.

Effectiveness of repeated administration of a new oral naltrexone controlled-release system on morphine analgesia.

Naltrexone hydrochloride, an opioid antagonist used as an adjunct to the maintenance of the opioid-free state for detoxified individuals, was introduced into the polymeric structure of Eudragit L30D, an anionic copolymer based on polymethacrylic acid and ethylacrylate. From the results of a preclinical study, this complexation technique can be considered as a useful tool in the design of oral controlled-release systems (naltrexone-Eudragit L) capable of inducing long-lasting effects in-vivo. The biopharmaceutical characterization of the naltrexone-Eudragit L complex in comparison with naltrexone hydrochloride using the mouse hot-plate model has been previously carried out. The results showed a longer effect, an enhancement of 23.47% of the area under the curve of the inhibition of analgesic activity vs time, and a delay of 51.80% in the t1/2 value induced by the complex, compared with those induced by conventional naltrexone. In this study, a regimen of chronic administration of naltrexone-Eudragit L was established. Thus, in an 8-day treatment (4 doses in alternate days) this oral controlled-release system effectively antagonized the analgesic effect of morphine for 8 h, whereas naltrexone hydrochloride has to be administered over 16 days (8 doses in alternate days) to induce the same effect. In the 16-day schedule the complex-induced antagonism lasted over 14 h after administration.

An in-vitro study of microleakage around class V cavities bonded with a self-etching material versus a conventional two-bottle system.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the microleakage around class V restorations restored with either a self-etching adhesive system or a conventional two-bottle adhesive system used with "total etch" technique, and their recommended resin-based composites (RBC). METHODS: Two types of adhesive systems were used. A self-etching adhesive, Etch and Prime 3.0 (Degussa AG, Hanau, Germany), and a conventional two-bottle adhesive, Gluma Solid Bond (Heraeus Kulzer, Dormagen, Germany). The bonding systems were used in strict accordance with the manufacturers' instructions, except that, with the two-bottle adhesive system, the cavities were filled with either a "wet" or a "dry" bonding technique, subsequent to acid-etching with 20% phosphoric acid. Etch & Prime 3.0 was used in conjunction with Degufill Mineral (Degussa, Hanau, Germany) RBC and Gluma Solid Bond with Flow Line RBC (Heraeus Kulzer, Dormagen, Germany). Standardised bucco-cervical cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 15 extracted maxillary first premolar teeth; all cavity margins were in enamel. Ten of the resulting cavities (Group A) were restored using Etch & Prime 3.0 and Degufill Mineral, ten (Group B) using Gluma Solid Bond (Wet Bond), and ten (Group C) using Gluma Solid Bond (Dry Bond). Leakage scores at occlusal and gingival margins were calculated after thermocycling 500 times between baths, held at 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C, respectively, with 30 seconds dwell time in both. Data were analysed by the Fisher Exact Test. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference between the self-etching adhesive and conventional two-bottle adhesive systems at either the occlusal or the gingival margins. With the self-etching adhesive, there was no statistically significant difference in leakage scores between occlusal and gingival margins. There was a statistically significant difference between the occlusal and the gingival margins when a "wet" or "dry" bonding technique was used with the conventional two-bottle adhesive system. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the application of a conventional two-bottle bonding system used with a "total etch" technique is better than that of a self-etching adhesive system. With the former, the use of a "wet" bonding does not give better results than a "dry" bonding technique.

Two-year clinical evaluation of a packable resin-based composite.

BACKGROUND: Packable resin-based composites were introduced in 1998, but few clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate them. The authors conducted a clinical study to determine the two-year performance of SureFil (Dentsply DeTrey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany) packable posterior resin-based composite in Class I and II restorations. METHODS: An operator (L.S.T.) restored 55 cavities in 36 patients (16 Class I restorations and 39 Class II restorations). After cavity preparation, she etched the enamel with 34 percent phosphoric acid, applied Prime & Bond NT (Dentsply DeTrey GmbH) to dentin and etched enamel for 20 seconds and then cured it for 20 seconds. She restored the cavity using 3- to 5-millimeter increments of SureFil. Independent examiners assessed the restorations after placement and at six months, one year and two years for color matching, marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, secondary caries, surface texture, anatomical form and postoperative sensitivity, using the Ryge criteria. RESULTS: The authors assessed the changes in the parameters during the two-year period using a software program with Friedman test analysis with a Bonferroni adjustment at significant level of P = .05. At baseline, 31 restorations were graded as Bravo for color match. At the six-month and one-year recall periods (n = 55), 53 restorations remained unchanged. Two restorations from the same patient fell out after one month. After two years (n = 50), there were five Bravos for surface staining and three for marginal adaptation (P < .05). CONCLUSION: After two years of clinical service, SureFil packable resin-based composite had a success rate of 96 percent, and the authors considered it successful in Class I and II restorations. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: SureFil packable resin-based composite can be successful in clinical situations with limited-sized cavities and proper application of restorative techniques.

Comparative SEM evaluation of penetration of adhesive systems in human dentin with a non-rinse conditioner and a self-etching primer.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a self-etching primer and a non-rinse conditioner with the effect of a conventional adhesive system on the penetration depth in dentin of human teeth, using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Fifteen human third molar teeth were sectioned into 2 pieces. All pieces were flattened with grade 600 to 1200 silicon carbide paper and divided into 6 groups: group 1 - Prime & Bond NT (NT), negative control; group 2 - 37% phosphoric acid + Prime & Bond NT (PANT), positive control; group 3 - Non-rinse Conditioner (NRC) + Prime & Bond NT (NRCNT); group 4 - NRC + Prime & Bond 2.1 (NRCPB); group 5 - NRC + Scotchbond MP (NRCSB); group 6 - Prompt L-Pop (PLP). All teeth were covered with Dyract AP. The tooth fragments were decalcified, and its resin replicas were evaluated by SEM by three previously standardized examiners. The penetration was scored from 0 (no penetration) to 3 (maximum penetration). The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests (p<0.05) showed three statistically homogeneous groups: (NT, NRCPB, NRCSB and PLP), (NRCNT) and [PANT]. The authors concluded that the self-etching primer and the non-rinse conditioner provide a lower penetration depth in human tooth dentin than the conventional adhesive system.
