Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a surface sealant on the surface roughness of different composites and compare their microhardness values.
Materials And Methods: Sixty disc-shaped specimens were prepared and assigned to 6 groups (n =10). Groups were prepared as follows; Group 1 (Herculite XRV Ultra), Group 2 (Beautifil Bulk Restorative) and Group 3 (Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative).
Article Synopsis
- This study assessed how various antioxidant treatments affect the bond strength of an adhesive system on dentin treated with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).
- Thirty third molars were divided into six groups based on different treatments (control, NaOCl, proanthocyanidin, 1-week distilled water storage, Accel, and noni fruit juice) and tested for bond strength after applying an adhesive and resin composite.
- Results showed that while NaOCl significantly reduced bond strength, antioxidants like proanthocyanidin, Accel, and noni fruit juice improved the bond strength in treated dentin, with no major differences among the antioxidant treatments.
