To evaluate the effect of the application sequence of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste (MI paste) on shear bond strength (SBS) of 2 etch-and-rinse resin cements to dentin.Sixty extracted human maxillary premolars were cut to expose the mid-coronal dentin surfaces. The teeth were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 10), based on the resin cement used and CPP-ACP application. In groups 1-3, Excite DSC/Variolink II and in groups 2-4, One-Step Plus/Duolink was bonded to dentin. There were 3 groups for each cement as follows: with no treatment as a control; 3-minute application of CPP-ACP before acid etching (CPP-ACP/Etching); 3-minute application of CPP-ACP after acid etching (Etching/CPP-ACP). After storage in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours, SBS test was performed. Data were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey test (α = 0.05).CPP-ACP application on the dentin before and after acid etching significantly decreased the SBS of OS/Duolink (13.60 and 14.71 MPa, respectively vs. control; 21.21 MPa, p0.001); however, it did not influence the SBS of Excite DSC/Variolink II (25.14 MPa) before acid etching (27.37 MPa) or after acid etching (26.41 MPa, p0.388). The application sequence of CPP-ACP did not influence the SBS of etch-and-rinse resin cements evaluated.CPP-ACP applications may lower the SBS in some etch-and-rinse resin cements, and timing of applications makes no difference.

AIM To assess the effect of acid-etching duration time on the compressive strength, microstructure and shear bond strength of All-Bond Universal adhesive to MTA-Angelus (AMTA), and Biodentine (BD). METHODOLOGY Forty-eight cylindrical specimens (4 mm in diameter, 6 mm in height) of AMTA in four groups and 48 specimens of BD in four groups (n = 12) were prepared and stored for 72 h. The control groups were unetched whilst the three experimental groups were acid-etched for 5, 10 and 15 s, respectively, followed by compressive strength testing. The effect of the various acid-etching times on surface micromorphology was evaluated under a scanning electron microscope. Similar groups were bonded using All-Bond Universal and Aelite Flo and shear bond strength was tested. Data were analysed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests. RESULTS 10-s and 15-s acid-etching reduced the compressive strength of AMTA and BD (P

This study investigated the microleakage of Class II composite restorations with composite resin liners. Standardized box cavities were prepared on the mesial and distal surfaces of 84 extracted intact human molars. Proximal margins were located in enamel (occlusal) and 1.0 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction (gingival). The teeth were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 28 cavities) and restored with Filtek Z350 nanohybrid composite resin (FZ). The test groups were lined with a conventional flowable composite resin, Premise Flowable (PF), or 1 of 2 self-adhesive composites (SACs): Vertise Flow (VF) or Clearfil SA luting cement (CSA) with or without their respective self-etching adhesives: Optibond All-in-One (OB) or Clearfil SE Bond (CSE). The adhesive/lining procedure was performed as follows: OB/FZ (control), OB/PF/FZ, VF/FZ, OB/VF/FZ, CSA/FZ, or CSE/CSA/FZ. Microleakage was evaluated at the occlusal and gingival margins using a dye penetration technique and quantitative assessment. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze the data at the significance level of α = 0.05. None of the restorative techniques was capable of preventing microleakage completely. The greatest amount of microleakage was detected in the VF/FZ and CSA/FZ groups at both margins (P0.02). Among the groups placed with a bonding agent, OB/VF/FZ showed significantly greater values of microleakage at the occlusal margins than did OB/FZ, OB/PF/FZ, and CSE/CSA/FZ (P0.05). At the gingival margins, the OB/PF/FZ group exhibited the least leakage compared with the OB/VF/FZ and CSE/CSA/FZ groups (P0.001). The results indicated that the additional application of bonding agents improved the marginal sealing of SACs in Class II composite restorations.

This study investigated whether the tubular occluding effect of oxalate desensitizer (OX) during adhesive cementation improved bonding of a self-etch and two etch-and-rinse resin cements to dentin after 6 months.A flat dentin surface was prepared on 120 extracted premolars, which were randomly divided into six groups of 20 teeth each according to the adhesive resin cement system used: ED primer II/Panavia F2.0, Excite DSC (Ex DSC)/Variolink II, and One-Step Plus (OS Plus)/Duolink, with or without OX (BisBlock) application. After cementation of an indirect composite rod, two subgroups (n=10) were tested after 24 h and 6 months of water storage plus thermocycling, and shear bond strengths were recorded in MPa.Statistical tests showed that although oxalate had a borderline significant negative effect on initial bonding of ED primer II/Panavia F2.0, it significantly improved bonding durability (p0.05). OX severely compromised the initial bond strength of Ex DSC/Variolink II (p0.001) but had no effect on the reduction in bonding after aging. OX was compatible with OS Plus/Duolink and did not affect the loss of bonding strength after 6 months (p0.05).Combining an oxalate desensitizer with three types of resin cements had different effects on bond strength to dentin after aging, depending on the interaction of oxalate with the adhesive system associated to the resin cement.

Objective: Evaluating the effect of resin coating and chlorhexidine on microleakage of two resin cements after water storage. Materials and Methods: Standardized class V cavities were prepared on facial and lingual surfaces of one hundred twenty intact human molars with gingival margins placed 1 mm below the cemento-enamel junction. Indirect composite inlays were fabricated and the specimens were randomly assigned into 6 groups. In Groups 1 to 4, inlays were cemented with Panavia F2.0 cement. G1: according to the manufacturer’s instruction. G2: with light cured resin on the ED primer. G3: chlorhexidine application before priming. G4: with chlorhexidine application before priming and light cured resin on primer. G5: inlays were cemented with Nexus 2 resin cement. G6: chlorhexidine application after etching. Each group was divided into two subgroups based on the 24-hour and 6-month water storage time. After preparation for microleakage test, the teeth were sectioned and evaluated at both margins under a 20× stereomicroscope. Dye penetration was scored using 0–3 criteria. The data was analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and complementary Dunn tests. Results: There was significantly less leakage in G2 and G4 than the Panavia F2.0 control group at gingival margins after 6 months (P

Aim This study evaluated the simultaneous effect of extended etching time and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) containing paste application on shear bond strength (SBS) of etch-and-rinse adhesive to cariesaffected- dentin (CAD). Materials and methods Fifty human third molars were used; 10 normal in group 1 and 40 caries-affected teeth in groups 2 to 5. In the CAD groups, teeth were randomly assigned into four groups (n = 10). In groups 2 and 4, phosphoric acid etching for 15 and 45 seconds was used and in groups 3 and 5, after 15 or 45 seconds etching respectively, CPP-ACP containing paste (MI paste) was applied for 3 minutes. After rinsing, single bond adhesive system and Z250 composite were used for resin composite build-up in all groups. After storage, SBS test was measured at cross head speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data were analyzed using one/two-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD test (α = 0.05). Results Normal dentin groups showed the highest SBS among different groups. There was a statistically significant difference between different etching times in CAD groups (p < 0.05), but there were no significant differences between SBS of SB adhesive to CAD with or without CPP-ACP pretreated in both etching times. Most of the failure modes were adhesive except in groups 1 and 5 which cohesive failure in composite was also observed. Conclusion The results of our study indicated that extended etching time up to 45 seconds could enhance the SBS of CAD and approach nearly to SBS of normal dentin. Moreover, MI paste pretreatment had not significant effect on SBS of etchand- rinse adhesive in CAD. Clinical significance Simultaneous application of extended etching time and CPP-ACP containing paste may be a suggested method in increasing the SBS of adhesive to CAD.

This study evaluated the effect of resin coating and chlorhexidine (CH) on microleakage of two resin cements (Panavia F2.0, Nexus 2) after water storage.Class V cavities were prepared on the facial and lingual surfaces of 120 intact human molars with gingival margins placed 1 mm below the cementoenamel junction. Indirect composite inlays were fabricated. The specimens were randomly assigned into six groups (n = 40). Indirect composite inlays (Gradia) were cemented as follows: Group 1 (control): inlays were cemented with Panavia F2.0 according to the manufacturer's instructions. Group 2: the ED-primed (ED Primer, Kuraray Dental, Tokyo, Japan) dentin was coated with a resin layer before cementation of the inlays with Panavia F2.0. Group 3: a 2% CH solution was applied before bonding with Panavia F2.0. Group 4: after CH application, the primed dentin was coated with a resin layer before cementation with Panavia F2.0. Group 5: (control) after applying Optibond Solo Plus, the inlays were cemented with Nexus 2. Group 6: after etching, CH was applied, and cementation was performed similarly to group 5. Half the specimens in each group were stored in distilled water for 24 hours, while the other half were stored in distilled water for 6 months. After storage, the teeth were placed in 1% methylene blue dye for 24 hours, sectioned, and evaluated under a 20× stereomicroscope. Dye penetration was scored using 0 to 3 criteria. Data were analyzed using nonparametric tests.Resin coating of ED primer for Panavia F2.0 significantly reduced microleakage at the gingival margins after 6 months (p0.05). CH application in Panavia F2.0 did not lead to a significant difference in the microleakage at both margins, after 24 hours and 6 months (p0.05). The application of CH showed significantly less microleakage than that of the control group at the gingival margins of Nexus 2 after 6 months. In general, gingival margins showed more microleakage than occlusal margins.An additional resin layer applied to a self-etch cement can improve long-term dentinal sealing for indirect restorations, while CH cannot; however, CH reduces gingival microleakage in an etch-and-rinse cement after aging.
