Clinical and SEM evaluations of three compomer systems in Class V carious lesions

JOURNAL OF ORAL REHABILITATION, Issue 8 2002
A. I. Abdalla
Summary The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of three compomer systems: Compoglass F, Dyract AP and F2000 in Class V carious lesions. In addition, some restorations were placed in teeth scheduled for extractions in order to evaluate the compomer/dentin interface with the scanning electron microscope (SEM). A total of 175 Class V carious lesions having the gingival margins extending into cementum were restored with the tested materials. Each restoration was clinically evaluated immediately after placement, after 1 year and after 2 years using the USPHS criteria. After 1 year no loss of restoration was recorded. No significant difference between the materials was observed for any evaluation category. After 2 years, one Compoglass and two Dyract restorations were lost. No loss of F2000 was reported. No significant difference was reported between the tested materials and between the 2-year data and baseline ones. A well-defined hybrid layer as well as resin tags was seen at the interface between the tested materials and vital dentin. [source]


Effect of endodontic irrigation on bonding of resin cement to radicular dentin

The influence of endodontic irrigation on shear bond strengths of resin cement to radicular dentin was investigated. Human radicular dentin blocks were divided into four groups and subjected to one of four endodontic irrigations: ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) group, 17% EDTA for 60 s; EDTA/sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) group, 17% EDTA for 60 s followed by 10 ml of 5% NaOCl for 15 s; NaOCl group, 10 ml of 5% NaOCl for 15 s; and control group, no treatment. Morphological changes of dentin surface after endodontic irrigation were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A resin block was bonded to the radicular dentin after irrigation using resin cement with either wet-bonding (Uni-Etch/One-Step; Bisco) or self-etching (Tyrian SPE/One-Step Plus; Bisco) adhesives. Shear bond strengths were measured and the penetration of resin tags into dentinal tubules at resin,dentin interface was observed by SEM. With the wet-bonding system, the shear bond strengths for the EDTA/NaOCl group, in which dentinal tubules openings and uniform resin tag penetration into dentinal tubules were observed, were significantly higher than the EDTA and control groups. With the self-etching system, the shear bond strengths were significantly lower in the EDTA group compared with the NaOCl and control groups. The effects of endodontic irrigation on the bonding of resin cement to radicular dentin depended on the dentin bonding system used. [source]


The Effect of Dowel Space on the Bond Strengths of Fiber Posts

JOURNAL OF PROSTHODONTICS, Issue 3 2007
Jorge Perdigão DMD
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the degree of mismatch between post space and post diameters on the bond strength of a fiber-reinforced resin post. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two extracted human maxillary central incisors and canines were endodontically treated and assigned to four groups: Group 1 - Canal prepared with a D.T. Light Post #1 drill (control); Group 2 - Canal prepared with a D.T. Light Post #2 drill; Group 3 - Canal prepared with a D.T. Light Post #3 drill; Group 4 - Canal prepared with a Gates Glidden #6 drill. A D.T. Light Post size 1 was then luted into the canal using One-Step Adhesive and Post Cement Hi-X. A push-out test was performed on three sections of each root to measure push-out bond strengths. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and Bonferroni's test at p < 0.05. Two extra teeth for each group were restored in the same fashion and processed for SEM observation. Results: (in MPa): Group 1: 15.7 ± 6.9; Group 2: 14.7 ± 6.5; Group 3: 14.0 ± 5.0; Group 4: 14.0 ± 5.1. The variable "post space" resulted in no statistically significant difference in mean bond strengths (p > 0.05). For the variable "root region," the coronal third (17.5 ± 6.0) resulted in statistically greater mean bond strengths than the apical third (12.3 ± 6.0) at p < 0.008. The middle third (14.0 ± 5.3) resulted in no statistically significant different mean bond strengths from the coronal third at p > 0.119 and from the apical third at p > 0.999. Under the SEM, some areas of the canal system still displayed residual gutta-percha, which resulted in debonding of the interface between the resin cement and dentin. Areas with incomplete dentin hybridization were observed in localized areas of all groups. Conclusions: The diameter of the post space did not affect the push-out bond strengths. Bonding at the coronal level of the root canal is more reliable than bonding at the apical level. The presence of residual gutta-percha and the deficient dentin hybridization may result in deficient seal of the resin,dentin interface. [source]


Micromorphology of resin,dentin interfaces using one-bottle etch&rinse and self-etching adhesive systems on laser-treated dentin surfaces: A confocal laser scanning microscope analysis

LASERS IN SURGERY AND MEDICINE, Issue 7 2010

Abstract Background and Objectives This study evaluated the hybrid layer (HL) morphology created by three adhesive systems (AS) on dentin surfaces treated with Er:YAG laser using two irradiation parameters. Study Design Occlusal flat dentin surfaces of 36 human third molars were assigned into nine groups (n,=,4) according to the following ASs: one bottle etch&rinse Single Bond Plus (3M ESPE), two-step Clearfil Protect Bond (Kuraray), and all-in-one S3 Bond (Kuraray) self-etching, which were labeled with rhodamine B or fluorescein isothiocyanate,dextran and were applied to dentin surfaces that were irradiated with Er:YAG laser at either 120 (38.7,J/cm2) or 200,mJ/pulse (64.5,J/cm2), or were applied to untreated dentin surfaces (control group). The ASs were light-activated following MI and the bonded surfaces were restored with resin composite Z250 (3M ESPE). After 24,hours of storage in vegetable oil, the restored teeth were vertically, serially sectioned into 1-mm thick slabs, which had the adhesive interfaces analyzed with confocal laser microscope (CLSM,LSM 510 Meta). CLSM images were recorded in the fluorescent mode from three different regions along each bonded interface. Results Non-uniform HL was created on laser-irradiated dentin surfaces regardless of laser irradiation protocol for all AS, while regular and uniform HL was observed in the control groups. "Stretch mark"-like red lines were found within the HL as a result of resin infiltration into dentin microfissures, which were predominantly observed in 200,mJ/pulse groups regardless of AS. Poor resin infiltration into peritubular dentin was observed in most regions of adhesive interfaces created by all ASs on laser-irradiated dentin, resulting in thin resin tags with neither funnel-shaped morphology nor lateral resin projections. Conclusion Laser irradiation of dentin surfaces at 120 or 200,mJ/pulse resulted in morphological changes in HL and resin tags for all ASs evaluated in the study. Lasers Surg.
