Bactericidal effect of Er,Cr:YSGG laser on Streptococcus mutans.

The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial activities of Er,Cr:YSGG laser with two different power outputs against a chlorhexidine gluconate-based cavity disinfectant. A cavity tooth model test was used to determine the antibacterial activity. Four cylindrical cavities were prepared on the dentin surface of 10 bovine incisors and left in contact with Streptococcus mutans for 72 hours to allow bacterial invasion. Following which, Er,Cr:YSGG laser with 0.75 W and 1 W power outputs and a chlorhexidine gluconate-based cavity disinfectant were applied separately on one of the three infected cavities, whereas the fourth was left untreated for control. Standardized amounts of dentin chips were obtained from the cavity walls, and the number of bacteria recovered was counted. Statistical analysis was carried out using one-way ANOVA and Dunnett's C test (p=0.05). No significant differences were observed among the data obtained from the chlorhexidine gluconate-based cavity disinfectant and the two Er,Cr:YSGG laser groups (p>0.05). However, when compared to the control group, both Er,Cr:YSGG laser groups and the chlorhexidine gluconate-based cavity disinfectant resulted in significantly less bacterial recovery (p<0.05). In conclusion, the antibacterial activity on S. mutans demonstrated by Er,Cr:YSGG laser with both energy outputs was similar to that of the tested chlorhexidine gluconate-based cavity disinfectant.

Is an antibacterial adhesive system more effective than cavity disinfectants?

PURPOSE: To compare the antibacterial activity of an adhesive system containing an antibacterial monomer MDPB, Clearfil Protect Bond with three different cavity disinfectants, chlorhexidine gluconate-based Consepsis, benzalkonium chloride-based Tubulicid Red and 3% hydrogen peroxide. METHODS: Materials were tested using agar well technique and a tooth cavity model. The test materials were filled in the agar wells of plates inoculated with Streptococcus mutans. After 48 hours of incubation, the zones of inhibitions were measured in millimeters. For the tooth cavity model test, cylindrical cavities were prepared in the flat occlusal dentin of human extracted molars. The teeth were left in a broth culture of Streptococcus mutans at 37 degrees C for 72 hours allowing bacteria to invade. Teeth were then randomly assigned into five groups of five teeth (10 cavity preparations) each. In the first four groups test materials were applied into the cavities following the manufacturer's instructions and the cavities in the fifth group were left untreated for control. The teeth were kept in saline for 72 hours. Standard amounts of dentin chips were obtained from the cavity walls and the number of bacteria recovered was counted. RESULTS: The results were analyzed by ANOVA, Dunnett C and Bonferroni tests. For the agar well technique, Clearfil Protect Bond primer exhibited greater inhibition zones than all three cavity disinfectants (P< 0.05). When tested by the cavity method, the application of Clearfil Protect Bond system resulted in significantly less bacterial recovery than all disinfectants (P< 0.05). For both microbiological methods, there were no significant differences between the antibacterial activities of Consepsis and Tubulicid Red (P> 0.05). They were superior to hydrogen peroxide in the cavity test method (P< 0.05).

Shear bond strength of different adhesives to Er:YAG laser-prepared dentin.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine the influence of Er:YAG laser on the shear bond strength of three different adhesives to lased dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy specimens obtained from 35 extracted human molars were embedded in polyester resin and ground with silicon carbide papers. The samples were divided into seven groups. 1. Er:YAG laser (Key Laser 3, KaVo) + Clearfil Protect Bond (Kuraray); 2. Er:YAG laser + Clearfil tri-S Bond (Kuraray); 3. Er:YAG laser + 37% H3PO4 + Single Bond 2 (3M-ESPE); 4. Er:YAG laser + Single Bond 2; 5. conventional method + Clearfil Protect Bond; 6. conventional method + Clearfil tri-S Bond; 7. conventional method + 37% H3PO4 + Single Bond 2. The samples were subjected to shear bond testing 24 h after bonding. Statistical analyses were carried out by two-way ANOVA, t-test, one-way ANOVA, post-hoc Tukey's and Dunnett C test (p = 0.05). RESULTS: Only the Er:YAG laser + Clearfil tri-S Bond group demonstrated significantly higher bond strengths vs conventionally prepared specimens (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the shear bond strengths of Single Bond 2 adhesive applied to laser- vs bur-treated specimens (p > 0.05). In laser prepared samples, Clearfil Protect Bond showed the highest scores (p < 0.05), whereas in conventionally prepared groups, no statistical differences were observed between Clearfil Protect Bond and Clearfil tri-S Bond (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Er:YAG laser irradiation did not adversely affect the shear bond strength of Single Bond 2 and Clearfil Protect Bond to dentin, whereas it increased the shear bond strength values of Clearfil tri-S Bond.

Effect of antioxidant on coronal seal of dentin following sodium-hypochlorite and hydrogen-peroxide irrigation.

PURPOSE: To reduce the microleakage of a self-etching priming dentin adhesive with the use of antioxidant or bur finishing after sodium-hypochlorite or hydrogen-peroxide irrigation. METHODS: 70 single-root canals were enlarged and seven different treatment protocols were applied throughout the root canal treatment: The roots in Groups 1, 2, and 3 were irrigated with sodium-hypochlorite. Group 1 was used as the negative control with only sodium-hypochlorite irrigation whereas in Group 2, sodium-ascorbate was applied as an additional irrigation agent following sodium-hypochlorite. Irrigation procedure in Group 3 was same as in Group 1, however, after the roots in this group were obturated, cavities were cleaned off with a carbide bur (bur-finishing) to remove the effect of sodium-hypochlorite. Hydrogen-peroxide irrigation was used in Groups 4, 5 and 6; the procedural steps were similar to those of Groups 1, 2 and 3: hydrogen-peroxide in Group 4, sodium-ascorbate application in Group 5, and bur-finishing in Group 6. Group 7 was the positive control with saline irrigation alone. All roots were obturated with Diaket sealer and gutta-percha cones using cold lateral condensation technique immediately after irrigation. A self-etching priming adhesive plus resin composite was applied after the endodontic treatment. The microleakage of dentin margins was determined using dye-penetration technique with clearing process. RESULTS: The Kruskal-Wallis followed by Mann-Whitney test showed that both sodium-hypochlorite and hydrogen-peroxide deteriorated the marginal seal of the dentin adhesive (P < 0.05), however, following both irrigation solutions the use of sodium-ascorbate reduced the microleakage (P < 0.05). Additionally, when sodium-ascorbate or bur-finishing was applied to remove the deterioration caused by sodium-hypochlorite or hydrogen-peroxide, the microleakage scores obtained were not different from that of the positive control (P > 0.05).

Effect of an antibacterial adhesive on the bond strength of three different luting resin composites.

OBJECTIVES: Effect of a dentin adhesive system containing antibacterial monomer-MDPB (Clearfil Protect Bond) on the shear bond strength of all-ceramic-IPS Empress 2 restorations luted with three different dual-polymerizing systems (Variolink 2, RelyX ARC and Panavia F 2.0) to dentin was investigated. METHODS: One hundred and eight all-ceramic discs (2 x 3mm; IPS Empress 2) were fabricated and ultrasonically cleaned. The buccal surfaces of 108 non-carious extracted human premolars were flattened to expose dentin and subsequently polished with 600-grit wet silicon carbide paper. Three dual-polymerizing luting systems had test groups and control groups consisting of 18 samples each. For the test groups Clearfil Protect Bond was applied to the exposed dentin surfaces. Control groups received the original bonding procedures of each adhesive system. After the all-ceramic samples were luted to the teeth, thermocycling was performed 5000 times. Shear bond strengths were tested using Shimadzu Universal Testing Machine until failure. Analysis of fractured dentin surfaces were performed using Optical Microscope at x10 and x1000 magnifications and the images were analyzed with Image Analyzer. Data was analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni test at a significance level of p<0.05. RESULTS: Mean shear bond strength data of the groups in MPa were; Variolink: 20.45+/-4.75, Variolink+Clearfil Protect Bond:29.32+/-2.37, RelyX ARC:18.82+/-3.19, RelyX ARC+Clearfil Protect Bond:25.58+/-4.05, Panavia F 2.0:17.11+/-2.98, Panavia F 2.0+Clearfil Protect Bond:24.40+/-7.46. Application of the antibacterial adhesive increased the shear bond strengths of all three dual-polymerizing systems to dentin (p=0.00). The surface analysis showed that most of the specimens showed the adhesive failure mode between the dentin and the composite luting agent interface. CONCLUSION: The antibacterial adhesive system Clearfil Protect Bond can be safely used to prevent the potential risk of complications resulting from bacterial activity regardless of affecting the bond strength of IPS Empress 2 restorations luted with the dual-polimerizing systems used in this study.

Clinical performance of a packable resin composite for a period of 3 years.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate SureFil packable resin composite for posterior restoration of permanent teeth for a period of 3 years. METHOD AND MATERIALS: Fifty-five resin composite restorations were placed in 36 patients (16 Class I and 39 Class II restorations). After cavity preparation, the enamel was etched with 34% phosphoric acid. Prime & Bond NT was applied 20 seconds to dentin and etched enamel and cured for 20 seconds. The teeth were restored in 3- to 5-mm increments. The restorations were assessed after placement, at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years for color stability, marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, secondary caries, surface texture, anatomic form, and postoperative sensitivity according to Ryge's criteria. The changes in the parameters were assessed with Friedman test analysis with a Bonferroni correction at a significance level of .05. RESULTS: Forty of the monitored 47 restorations were classified as excellent after 3 years. Thirty-one restorations were graded Bravo at baseline for color match. At the 3-year assessment (n = 47) the color of the 31 restorations had not changed. Two restorations (same patient) were lost after 1 month and were scored as Charlie until the end of the study. After 3 years there were five Bravos and one Charlie with marginal discoloration, five Bravos with marginal adaptation, and three Bravos with anatomic form (P < .05). CONCLUSION: After 3 years of clinical service, SureFil packable resin composite, with a failure rate of 6%, was considered to be successful in Class I and II restorations.

Effect of endodontic irrigants on microleakage of coronal restorations.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of endodontic irrigants on the sealing ability of resin composite coronal restorations bonded with two different bonding systems, Clearfil SE Bond and PQ1. METHODS: The specially designed coronal preparations with distal margins on dentin and mesial margins on enamel were performed on 100 single-rooted teeth. They were initially divided into five groups. Irrigants used during the root canal preparation in each group were as follows: sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, Tubulicid Plus, Cetrexidin and saline (control). After root canal filling, each irrigation group was divided into two bonding groups. Following the placement of the composite restorations, the specimens were immersed in India ink and cleared to allow visualization of the leakage. RESULTS: The differences among the irrigation groups were statistically significant only at margins remaining on dentin structures for both of the bonding resins (P< 0.05). Sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide groups demonstrated higher leakage scores than the controls (P< 0.005). Leakage patterns of Cetrexidin and Tubulicid Plus groups did not differ significantly from the controls (P> 0.005). Cetrexidin allowed better sealing than Tubulicid Plus in PQ1 bonded restorations, but did not in Clearfil SE Bond samples.

Antibacterial activity of two adhesive systems using various microbiological methods.

PURPOSE: To compare the antibacterial activities of two dentin bonding systems (DBS), Clearfil Protect Bond and Xeno III, by agar well, paper and dentin disks, and a cavity tooth model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For the well technique, the test materials were filled in the agar wells inoculated with Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175). The paper disks were embedded in adhesives and placed on the seeded agar plates for the second technique. The adhesives were applied on the dentin disks and placed in holes in the plates for the third technique. After 48 h, the zones of inhibition were measured. In the cavity tooth model test, 3 cavities were prepared in the flat occlusal dentin of extracted human molars. The teeth were left in S. mutans for 72 h to allow bacterial invasion. The DBS were applied in the same manner as in clinical application on each of the two infected cavities and the third was left unapplied for control. The teeth were kept in saline for 72 h. Standard amounts of dentin chips were obtained from the cavity walls and the number of bacteria recovered was counted. RESULTS: The results were analyzed by factorial ANOVA and Dunnett C test. Clearfil Protect Bond primer exhibited the greatest inhibition zones followed by Consepsis and unpolymerized Xeno III in all the techniques tested (p < or = 0.05). Clearfil Protect Bond resulted in significantly less bacterial recovery than Xeno III by the tooth cavity method (p < or = 0.05). CONCLUSION: Clearfil Protect Bond was found to be the most antibacterial material with all the techniques used. Furthermore, Clearfil Protect Bond was able to inactivate the bacteria in the cavity more effectively than Xeno III.

Effect of bleaching and repolishing procedures on coffee and tea stain removal from three anterior composite veneering materials.

UNLABELLED: Discolored teeth can be treated with resin veneers, but their color changes when confronted with staining solutions. Polishing procedures can provide a remedy for highly stained composites, but they tend to remove some materials as well. However, bleaching procedures are an effective, nondestructive method for solving the problem. The aim of this study was to compare the color change of three veneer composites exposed to staining solutions and to evaluate the effectiveness of a 15% hydrogen peroxide bleaching agent and three polishing systems to remove the stain. Forty-five disks (12 x 2 mm) each of Clearfil ST (Kuraray Co. Ltd., Osaka, Japan), Esthet-X (Dentsply/Caulk, Milford DE, USA), and Filtek A110 (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) were prepared. The specimens were polished with Sof-Lex (3M ESPE), Enhance (Dentsply/Caulk), or PoGo (Dentsply/Caulk). Five specimens for each material-polishing system combination were immersed in coffee (Nescafe Classic, Nestle SA, Vevey, Switzerland) or tea (Earl Grey, Lipton, Blackfriars-London, England) for 7 days. The remaining disks were stored in water. Color measurements were made with a spectrophotometer (X-Rite Seroice SP78, Loaner, Köln, Germany) at baseline; after 1, 3, 5, and 7 days; and after bleaching and repolishing. After 1 week, one side of the specimens was bleached with Illuminé-office (Dentsply De Trey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany) for 1 hour, and the other side was repolished for 30 seconds. All comparisons of color change for the polishing systems, times, and staining solutions were subjected to repeated measurements of analysis of variance. Paired t-test was used to examine whether significant color differences (deltaE*) occurred during immersion at the specified time intervals (p < or = .05). Filtek A110 was the least stained resin composite. Its color remained under a deltaE* value of 2 during the study. Clearfil ST exhibited the most color change after 1 week. All specimens polished with Enhance showed less staining, whereas those polished with the Sof-Lex system demonstrated the most color change. Water did not cause a variance in the deltaE*. There was no difference in the staining potential of coffee and tea. Bleaching and repolishing were effective in removing the stains. The resin composites tested reversed nearly to baseline color with the bleaching and to less than values at 1 day of staining with repolishing. The coffee and tea brands tested stained the composites used in this study equally. In-office bleaching was found to be more effective than repolishing in the restitution of the color. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The results of this study suggest that the discoloration of resin veneers can be partially removed by in-office bleaching and repolishing procedures.

Amelogenesis imperfecta: the multidisciplinary approach. A case report.

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary developmental disorder of the dental enamel, in both primary and permanent dentition. The main clinical characteristics are extensive loss of tooth tissue, poor esthetics, and tooth sensitivity. Transmission of the gene takes place by either autosomal, dominant X-linked, or recessive modes. This clinical report describes a treatment sequence based on a multidisciplinary approach. A 21-year-old girl with hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta was referred to the Ege University School of Dentistry clinic. She was concerned about the poor appearance and sensitivity of her teeth. The patient presented with an anterior open bite, although orthodontic treatment had been completed previously. Periodontal gingivectomy of her posterior teeth followed by endodontic treatment where indicated was proposed. The prosthodontic treatment consisted of metal ceramic fixed partial dentures of precious alloy. At the end of treatment, function and esthetics were improved to a level acceptable to both the patient and the dental team.

Effect of cavity disinfectants on the sealing ability of nonrinsing dentin-bonding resins.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of three cavity disinfectants (chlorhexidine gluconate-based, Consepsis; benzalkonium chlorite-based, Tubulicid red; iodine-potassium iodide/copper sulphate-based, Ora-5) on the microleakage of nonrinsing dentin-bonding systems, Clearfil SE Bond and Prompt L-Pop. METHOD AND MATERIALS: Class V cavity preparations were placed on the buccal and lingual surfaces of extracted molars with occlusal margins at the enamel and gingival margins in cementum. In the experimental groups, cavities were treated with combinations of one of the three cavity disinfectants with either Clearfil SE Bond or Prompt L-Pop. The preparations without disinfectant application were used as the negative controls for each adhesive system, and the cavities in which neither disinfectant nor dentin-bonding resin were applied, served as the positive controls. After the cavity preparations were restored with resin composite, specimens were thermocycled, stained, and sectioned to evaluate dye penetration. The tooth-resin composite interface of the sectioned specimens was examined under scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: Consepsis and Tubulicid red did not significantly affect the sealing ability of Clearfil SE Bond and Prompt L-Pop. Ora-5 exhibited gap formations at the tooth-resin composite interface and produced significantly higher microleakage when used with these bonding systems. CONCLUSION: Consepsis and Tubulicid red can be used as cavity disinfectants with Clearfil SE Bond and Prompt L-Pop without affecting their sealing abilities. However, Ora-5 is not an appropriate disinfectant to use with these bonding systems.

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.

Reversal of dentin bonding to bleached teeth.

Many studies have shown a considerable reduction in enamel bond strength of resin composite restorations when the bonding procedure is carried out immediately after bleaching. These studies claim that a certain waiting period is needed prior to restoration to reach the original bond strength values prior to bleaching. This study determined the effect of anti-oxidant applications on the bond strength values of resin composites to bleached dentin. Ninety human teeth extracted for orthodontic purposes were used in this study. The labial surface of each tooth was ground and flattened until dentin appeared. The polished surfaces were subjected to nine different treatments: 1) bleaching with gel (35% Rembrandt Virtuoso); 2) bleaching with gel + 10% sodium ascorbate (SA); 3) bleaching with gel + 10% butylhydroxyanisole (BHA); 4) bleaching with sol (35% hydrogen peroxide); 5) bleaching with sol + 10% sodium ascorbate; 6) bleaching with sol + 10% BHA; 7) bleaching with gel + immersed in artificial saliva for seven days; 8) bleaching with sol + immersed in artificial saliva for seven days; 9) no treatment. After bonding application, the resin composite in standard dimensions was applied to all specimens. The teeth were stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours and a universal testing machine determined their resistance to shear bond strength. The data was evaluated using ANOVA and Duncan tests. Bond strength in the bleached dentin group significantly decreased compared to the control group. On the other hand, the antioxidant treatment had a reversal effect on the bond strength to dentin. After the bleaching treatment, the 10% sodium ascorbate application was effective in reversing bond strength. In the samples where antioxidant was applied after the bleaching process, bonding strength in dentin tissue was at the same level as those teeth kept in artificial saliva for seven days.

Factors affecting microleakage of a packable resin composite: an in vitro study.

This study was designed to determine the effects of three factors on the microleakage of a packable resin composite: different adhesive systems (single-step self-etching adhesive or total-etch and one-bottle adhesive), the use of a flowable resin composite (as a liner) and the different techniques of cavity preparation. Sixty extracted non-carious human first and second molars were selected and randomly divided into six groups. Cervical cavities were prepared using the conventional technique on the distal sides and the air-abrasive technique was used on the mesial sides of the teeth. The experimental groups were restored with PQ1 + SureFil or Prompt L-Pop + SureFil with or without PermaFlo. In the control groups, only SureFil was used on 10 teeth and PermaFlo + SureFil was applied on the remaining 10 teeth. The restored teeth were stored in 100% humidity at 37 degrees C for 24 hours and thermocycled between 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C for 100 cycles. Each tooth was immersed in India ink for 48 hours, then sectioned. Dye penetration at the occlusal and gingival margins was scored by two independent operators. The data were statistically analyzed to assess the differences between the test and control groups. No significant differences among the adhesives in terms of the occlusal margins of the cavities were observed. However, PQ1 led to less microleakage compared to Prompt L-Pop at the gingival margins (p < 0.0062). When flowable resin composite was used with Prompt L-Pop, microleakage was reduced (p < 0.0125). However, no significant difference was observed between the two cavity preparation techniques (p > 0.0125).
