Shear bond strength of current adhesive systems to enamel, dentin and dentin-enamel junction region.

This study investigated the bonding of current resin adhesives to the region approximating the dentin-enamel junction (DEJ), where the etch pattern to enamel or dentin may be different. Three kinds of tooth substrates were chosen for testing: enamel, dentin and the DEJ region. A self-etching primer system (Clearfil SE Bond) and two total-etch wet bonding systems (Single Bond and One-Step) were used. Each tooth region was bonded with one of the adhesive systems, and a resin composite and was subjected to a micro-shear bond test. In addition, morphological observations were performed on debonded specimens and etched surfaces using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). CLSM observations showed that the DEJ region was etched more deeply by phosphoric acid gel than enamel or dentin, suggesting that the action of acid etch seemed to be more intense on the DEJ. However, no statistically significant differences of shear bond strength values were observed between the DEJ region and enamel or dentin, or the adhesive systems used (p>0.05). Bonding to the DEJ is potentially as good as that to enamel or dentin.

Immediate dentin sealing of onlay preparations: thickness of pre-cured Dentin Bonding Agent and effect of surface cleaning.

This study evaluated the thickness of Dentin Bonding Agent (DBA) used for "immediate dentin sealing" of onlay preparations prior to final impression making for indirect restorations. In addition, the amount of DBA that is removed when the adhesive surface is cleaned with polishing or air abrasion prior to final cementation was evaluated. For this purpose, a standardized onlay preparation was prepared in 12 extracted molars, and either OptiBond FL (Kerr) or Syntac Classic (Vivadent) was applied to half of the teeth and cured in the absence of oxygen (air blocking). Each tooth was bisected in a bucco-lingual direction into two sections, and the thickness of the DBA was measured under SEM on gold sputtered epoxy resin replicas at 11 positions. The DBA layer of each half tooth was treated with either air abrasion or polishing. The thickness of the DBAs was then re-measured on the replicas at the same positions. The results were statistically analyzed with non-parametric statistics (Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test) at a confidence level of 95% (p=0.05). The film thickness of the DBA was not uniform across the adhesive interface (121.13 +/- 107.64 microm), and a great range of values was recorded (0 to 500 microm). Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were noted, which were both material (OptiBond FL or Syntac Classic) and position (1 to 11) dependent. Syntac Classic presented a higher thickness of DBA (142.34 +/- 125.10 microm) than OptiBond FL (87.99 +/- 73.76 microm). The higher film thickness of both DBAs was at the deepest part of the isthmus (the most concave part of the preparation), while the lowest was at the line angles of the dentinal crest (the most convex part of the preparation). OptiBond FL presented a more uniform thickness around the dentinal crest of preparation; Syntac Classic pooled at the lower parts of the preparation. The amount of DBA that was removed with air abrasion or polishing was not uniform (11.94 +/- 16.46 microm), and a great range of values was recorded (0 to 145 microm). No statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found either between different DBAs (OptiBond FL or Syntac Classic) or between different treatments (air abrasion or polishing). As far as the effect of different treatments at different positions, polishing removed more DBA from the top of the dentinal crest, but the difference was not statistically significant. Air abrasion removed less DBA from the corners of the dentinal crest (Positions 4 and 6) than the outer buccal part of the preparation (Positions 1 and 2). Neither air abrasion nor polishing removed the entire layer thickness of the DBA in the majority of the cases.

Bond strength of total-etch and self-etch dentin adhesive systems on peripheral and central dentinal tissue: a microtensile bond strength test.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (mu TBS) of four total-etch adhesives [Excite (EB), Prime&Bond NT (PBNT), Single Bond (SB), and One Coat Bond (OCB)] by comparing them to five self-etching adhesives (Clearfil SE Bond (CSEB), Xeno III (X III), Prompt L-Pop (PLP), AQ Bond (AQB), and Tyrian/One Step plus (TOSP)] at different dentinal areas. In addition the interface between the adhesive resins and dentin was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Superficial occlusal dentin of extracted human molars was exposed and finished with wet 800-grit silicon carbide paper. A block of composite resin was then bonded to the molar samples with the above adhesives according to the manufacturers' instructions. After 24 hours in water at 37 degrees C, the specimens were sectioned into 1 mm thick slices and divided into two regional subgroups according to their relationship to pulp tissue using visual criteria: pulp center and pulp periphery. The slices were then trimmed for the microtensile bond test and subjected to a tensile force and crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Two-way analysis of variance was performed for statistical analyses. In addition the bond strengths for nine adhesive systems for each dentinal area were compared using the Post-Hoc test. The resin-dentin interfaces for each adhesive system were observed under a SEM. RESULTS: Mean mu TBS ranged from (25.2 MPa) for TOSP to (48.9 MPa) for PBNT. The bond strengths of total-etch adhesive systems were not significantly different, and were higher than self-etch adhesive systems, except for CSEB (p<0.05). No significant regional difference was observed for all of the nine adhesive systems (p>0.05). SEM observation showed there is not a standard hybridization for adhesive systems. CONCLUSION: Different dentinal areas may not exhibit as great an influence on bond strengths using new adhesive systems.

A study of bond strength of dentin bonding agents to human dentin.

BACKGROUND: Marginal leakage of restoration induced by polymerization shrinkage of composite resin can be prevented if the dentin bonding agent is strong enough to counteract the force of polymerization shrinkage. METHODS: Fifty molar teeth obtained due to periodontal problem were used in this investigation. Crown portion of the teeth was grounded perpendicular to the long axis of the teeth until a complete layer of dentin surrounded by enamel was created. The teeth were then mounted with dental stone, and divided into five groups randomly. Dentin bonding agent was applied to the dentinal surface and a gelatin capsule mold was used to apply composite resin material. After incubation, the bonded composite specimens were tested with Instron universal testing machine in order to determine the shear strength of the composite bonding result. The fracture patterns were examined with scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: The Universal bond 3 combined with the AP.H composite exhibited the highest shear bond strength (10.76 MPa). The fracture pattern of the Universal Bond 3 combined with AP.H was mainly that of cohesive failure in the composite resin part instead of adhesive failure in the other groups tested. CONCLUSIONS: The shear bond strength of these five dentin bonding agents ranged from 2.89MPa to 10.76MPa. The fracture pattern of the tested groups was mainly that of adhesive failure at the interface between dentin bonding agent and its corresponding composite resin instead of cohesive failure disclosed in the composite resin part of Universal Bond 3 combined with AP.H group.

The dentinal surface: its influence on dentinal adhesion. Part III.

This final paper in a series of three uses transmission and scanning electron microscopy to compare the category III dentinal adhesive systems--those with shear bond strength values near or exceeding 17 MPa. Contemporary commercial dentinal adhesive systems such as Superbond and Scotchbond Multi-Purpose, chosen for their varied chemical pretreatments, are contrasted; a contemporary commercial system (Prisma Universal Bond 3) with characteristics of category I and II dentinal adhesives is also included for comparison. The shear bond strength values attained with most category III systems are high enough to cause cohesive failure of the dentin during bond strength testing. This result is attributed to a combination of factors that include effective wetting and penetration of the prepared dentinal surface as well as a tendency to leave collagen fibers at the adhesive-dentin interface in an apparently structurally intact state.

In vitro and clinical evaluations of a dentin bonding system with a dentin primer.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a dentin primer in improving dentin-to-composite bond strengths mediated by a dentin adhesive. The investigation consisted of both an in vitro tensile bond test, in which fresh bovine dentin was used, and clinical evaluation. In the in vitro bond test, bovine dentin surfaces were treated with the primer (an aqueous solution of HEMA) for different durations (10, 20, 30, and 60 seconds) prior to bonding of the light-cured adhesive and placement of a light-cured composite material. For the clinical evaluation, a total of 33 cervical erosion lesions were restored with the combination of the primer, the adhesive, and the composite. To comply with ADA requirements for the acceptance program of dentin-bonding agents, no enamel etching nor any mechanical retentive locks were performed in those restorations. Significant increases in bond strength were obtained in specimens treated with the primer. Regarding the clinical evaluations in which 30 restorations were available for the 6-month recall and 15 restorations were also available for the 1-year recall, all samples demonstrated a retentive rate of 100%.

An investigation on the shear bond strength of one dentin adhesive at two different dentin depths.

The aim of this investigation was to study the effect of dentin depth and patient's age on the shear bond strength of one dentin adhesive (ART Bond), using an Instron Universal testing machine at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min. Forty human molar teeth were used and were divided into two main groups, twenty each representing two age groups of patients, i.e., between 20 to 30 years and between 30-40 years of age. Every group was further subdivided into two subgroups of different dentin depths, i.e., superficial and deep. Results were recorded in Kg/Cm2 and converted into MPa units, then tabulated and statistically analyzed. A Duncan's range statistic test at P < or = 0.05 showed statistically significant differences between the bond strength values for both age groups at different dentin depths, with the superficial dentin showing higher bond values, and there were also statistically significant differences between the bond strength values of the two age groups at the same dentin depth, with the older age group showing higher bond values.

Ultimate tensile strength of dentin: Evidence for a damage mechanics approach to dentin failure.

Dentin structure and properties are known to vary with orientation and location. The present study explored the variation in the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of dentin with location in the tooth. Hourglass specimens were prepared from dentin located in the center, under cusps, and in the cervical regions of human molar teeth. These were tested in tension at various distances from the pulp. Median tensile strengths ranged from 44.4 MPa in the inner dentin near the pulp, to 97.8 MPa near the dentino-enamel junction (DEJ). This increase in the median UTS with distance from the pulp to the DEJ was statistically significant (P <.001). Of particular importance was the observation that the UTS measurements followed a Weibull probability distribution, with a Weibull modulus of about 4.5. The Weibull behavior of the UTS data strongly suggests that the large variances in fracture strength data result from a distribution of preexisting defects in the dentin. These findings justify a damage-mechanics approach to studies of dentin failure.

Effect of multi-step dentin bonding systems and resin-modified glass ionomer cement liner on marginal quality of dentin-bonded resin composite Class II restorations.

The use of resin composites in the restoration of Class II cavities with gingival margins located in dentin is still controversial. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of four state-of-the-art multi-step dentin-bonding systems (A. R. T. Bond, Syntac, OptiBond DC, Scotchbond Multipurpose) on marginal adaptation and microleakage of dentin-bonded composite Class II restorations. A total of 72 Class II cavities with gingival margins in dentin were prepared in extracted molars and filled with fine-hybrid composites using a three-sited light curing technique. In one half of the cavities the pulpal wall was lined with a resin-modified glass ionomer cement liner (RM-GIC), in the other half a total bonding technique was applied. A. R. T. Bond and Syntac were tested with selective enamel etching (SE) and total etching (TE). Marginal adaptation was evaluated in a scanning electron microscope before and after thermocycling (TC). Microleakage was determined by dye penetration. After TC the proportions of continuous margin in dentin ranged from 37% (Syntac/SE) to 91.2% (A. R. T. Bond/TE). Scotchbond Multipurpose exhibited the lowest degree of microleakage (0.22 mm). Marginal enamel fracture was the most prevalent marginal defect at the enamel margins (8.3-22.2%). The use of the RM-GIC had no beneficial effect on any of the marginal parameters, either in dentin or in enamel. It is concluded that low degrees of marginal gap formation and microleakage can be achieved in totally bonded composite Class II restorations when using state-of-the-art multi-step bonding systems in combination with a meticulous incremental filling technique.

Dentin induction by implants of autolyzed antigen-extracted allogeneic dentin on amputated pulps of dogs.

Implantation of autolyzed antigen-extracted allogeneic (AAA) dentin matrix gelatin powder caused homeoinduction on amputated dental pulps. This event began with migration of spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells into the cavity on the amputated pulp. This was followed by proliferation of undifferentiated large cells concomitantly with vascular invasion and attachment of spindle-shaped cells and large cells to the AAA dentin. The adhering cells differentiated into osteodentinoblasts and/or preodontoblasts to form osteodentin matrix and predentin respectively. Osteodentinocytes and odontoblasts, then, formed osteodentin and tubular dentin. The healing of pulp dressed with inactivated AAA dentin using guanidine HCl was delayed. These results suggested that AAA dentin matrix powder may have chemotactic and mitogenic activity for undifferentiated mesenchymal cells and may provide a suitable scaffolding for fixation of these cells. Compartments of microenvironment formed by AAA dentin and the enveloping hard substances may play some role in differentiation into odontoblasts.

Effect of low-dose glucocorticoid treatment on dentin formation and dentinal caries in rats.

The effect of a low dose of glucocorticoids on dentin formation and progression of dental caries was studied in young rats. The animals were inoculated in the mouth with Streptococcus sobrinus and fed ad libitum a high-sucrose, a high-starch, or a reference diet. The cortisone or placebo pellet was implanted subcutaneously in the back of the necks of the animals. After a 6-week experimental period the areas of dentin formation and dentinal caries were quantified planimetrically. Schiff's staining was used to classify caries. Cortisone reduced the dentin formation both in high-starch and reference diets, but it did not further affect the reducing effect of the high-sucrose diet on dentin formation. Cortisone did not affect the number or severity of dentinal carious lesions.

Pulpal responses to various dentin bonding systems in dentin cavities.

The purpose of this study was to investigate pulpal response and bacterial invasion associated with five dentin bonding systems placed in cavities without an enamel margin. Two hundred and twenty-four dentin margin cavities were created by removing the surrounding marginal enamel of class V cavities in monkey teeth. These cavities were restored with a resin composite using various current dentin bonding systems. All of the dentin bonding systems showed odontoblastic layer changes to varying degrees, and slight to moderate inflammation at the initial stage. With the lapse of time, the degree of inflammation tended to decrease markedly, except for those cases in which bacteria were present. The result of SA/Photo Bond corresponded to that of the glass ionomer cement (negative control). Accordingly, this study suggests that a good bond and adaptation between resin and dentin should be obtained for eliminating pulpal irritation, even in the dentin cavity.

Effect of the self etching dentin primers on the bonding efficacy of a dentin adhesive.

The efficacy of marketed and experimental self etching dentin primers which contained dicarboxylic acids or their esterified salts diluted in 35% hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) solution were studied by measuring the wall-to-wall polymerization contraction of the light curing composite in the cylindrical dentin cavity and the tensile bond strength to the flat dentin surface. In both of the measurements, a marketed dentin bonding agent and resin monomer was applied after the treatment with experimental primers and a marketed primer, respectively. It was revealed that two experimental primers composed of the methacryloxyethyl-succinate or methacryloxyethyl-phthalate and HEMA, exhibited a remarkable effect on the bonding efficacy of a dentin adhesive employed in this study. A marketed primer which contained maleic acid and HEMA could not improve the bonding between the resin and dentin cavity wall although a significantly high bonding strength (11.9 +/- 5.7 MPa) was obtained after 24 hours.

Bonding of composite resins to dentin: SEM observation of one-component enamel-dentin bonding systems.

AIM: To evaluate in vitro the qualitative characteristics of the surfaces of some enamel-dentin bonding systems. METHODS: Seven different bonding systems were observed first by stereomicroscopy then by scanning electron microscopy, as follows: 49 extracted teeth were abraded to expose a uniform dentin surface. After application of the bonding system, composite resin was placed on the surface and shaped as an inverted truncated cone. The tensile bond test was performed and the specimens observed under SEM; the fracture location was determined and the formation of the hybrid layer evaluated. RESULTS: SEM observation indicated that adhesive, cohesive and mixed fractures had occurred. The abraded dentin surfaces were also observed under SEM before and after etching. The most recent enamel-dentin bonding systems use a conditioning technique that demineralizes the upper dentin surface at and around the tubule entrance. This is known as the total etching technique. A layer is formed in which the demineralized dentin is impregnated with fluid resin: the so-called hybrid layer. CONCLUSIONS: The length of the plugs of adhesive was not found to be determinant. The formation of the hybrid layer appeared to be more important, as it indicated a three-dimensional interaction between the conditioned collagen fibres and the primer that diffuses the adhesive.

[Effects of dentine phosphoprotein on remineralization of demineralized dentine].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between dentine phosphoprotein (DPP) and remineralization of demineralized dentine. METHODS: (1) Soluble DPP was extracted with 1 mol/L NaCl from demineralized dentine and was evaluated. (2) Soluble DPP was removed with 0.1 mol/L NaCl or was not removed from demineralized dentine sections in human tooth roots. Then all sections were subjected to remineralization treatment, and remineralization degrees were compared by atomic absorption spectrum, SEM and microradiography. RESULTS: (1) Soluble DPP was extracted with 1 mol/L NaCl. (2) Removal of soluble DPP resulted in significantly lower calcium concentration in remineralization solution (P < 0.01), less mean light-absorbed value in demineralized dentin sections by microradiography (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Soluble DPP may have an inhibiting effect on remineralization of demineralized dentine, this study suggests that the remove of soluble DPP from root caries lesions may enhance their remineralization potential.

A scanning electron microscopic observation of inner carious dentin after cleansing and of the dentin-resin interface.

Inner carious dentin after cleansing and the dentin-resin interface were observed with scanning electron microscopy. Results suggested that, similar to 10% citric acid-3% ferric chloride solution, 10% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid may thoroughly remove the smear layer on the surface of inner carious dentin and make it possible for the dentinal bonding agent to penetrate the cleansed dentin to form an acid-proof layer and dense resin tags. These changes may improve the bond strength as well as tubule aperture seal. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is not destructive to collagen, and may be of negligible toxicity to the pulp of intact dentin.

The dentinal surface: its influence on dentinal adhesion. 2.

The first paper in this series presented a categorization of dentinal adhesive systems that was organized roughly according to chronology, chemistry, and shear bond strength values. Category I dentinal adhesives demonstrate the lowest shear bond strength values, approximately 5 to 7 MPa. Category II dentinal adhesives, including experimental ferric and aluminum oxalate pretreatments and two commercial products, demonstrate shear bond strength values between 8 and 14 MPa. This second category of dentinal adhesives is the subject of this paper. An attempt is made to draw a parallel between the penetrative ability of the adhesive (the wettability of the dentinal substrate) and the efficacy of the adhesive bond as determined by shear bond strength values. Category III dentinal adhesives will be discussed in another paper.

[Study of the fine structure of human deciduous dentin with dentinogenesis imperfecta, with special reference to the mantle dentin].

A lower deciduous incioer exhibiting dentinogenesis imperfecta (D.I) obtained from a 6-year-old boy with osteogenesis imperfecta (Shields' Type I) was examined by means of light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray microanalysis (XMA). With LM, the dentin displayed a sparse and irregular tubular pattern near the dentino-enamel junction (DEJ) and only few or no tubular structures in the area corresponding to the circumpulpal dentin. Between these two areas, cleft-like structures were characteristically noted. Structural irregularities in the dentinal tubules were also shown with SEM observation. XMA demonstrated that the distribution of both Ca and P in the dentin of DI teeth was apparently lower than that in the normal deciduous incisor used as a control. Specifically, an area along EDJ at a distance of 25-35 microns, corresponding to the mantle dentin, revealed extremely low or no distribution of the both elements. From the present observation, it is suggested that the generic disorder mainly involved in the primary odontoblasts and consequently results in the disturbance of calcification, especially that mediated by the matrix vesicles, and shortening of the cell life. After the death of these cells, the cells originate in, from the undifferentiated pulp cells may participate in the deposition of another irregular dentin.
