Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of ultrasonic treatment on the bond strength of glass-ionomer cements to dentin.

Materials And Methods: Conventional (Fuji II: a; Ketac-Fil Plus: b), resin-modified (Fuji II LC Improved: c; Photac-Fil Quick Aplicap: d), and more viscous conventional (Ketac Molar: e) glass-ionomer cements were tested. Fifty human molars were sectioned mesiodistally, embedded in epoxy resin with exposed buccal or lingual surfaces, and ground to obtain a flat dentin surface. A matrix with a central orifice in the shape of an inverted truncated cone was built with a bovine tooth and positioned on the dentin surface. In the control groups, the materials were inserted into the matrix. In the test groups, the ultrasonic treatment was applied to the surface of the matrix and the surface of the glass-ionomer cements. The specimens were stored in deionized water for 24 h at 37 degrees C and subjected to bond strength tests. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests.

Results: The mean bond strengths in MPa for the control groups were: a: 2.21, b: 1.85, c: 8.65, d: 5.93, and e: 2.10. The results for the test groups were: a: 3.33, b: 2.19, c: 9.95, d: 6.10, and e: 2.65. Ultrasonic treatment statistically increased the tensile bond strength of all tested cements (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Ultrasonic treatment improved the bond strength of the glass-ionomer cements to dentin after 24 h.

Effect of Irrigation Solution Temperature on Bioceramic Sealer Bond Strength.

Med Sci Monit

January 2025

Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Dicle University, Diyarbakir, Turkey.

BACKGROUND Different temperature conditions can affect the efficiency of irrigation solutions and consequently the ability of canal sealers to bond to root canal walls. The aim of this endodontic study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation solutions at different temperatures on the bond strength of a bioceramic-based root canal sealer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Root canal preparations were completed through irrigation with the following solutions: Group 1 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) +5 ml EDTA (Ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid) (22°C); Group 2 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl +5 ml EDTA (37°C); Group 3 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl +5 ml GA (Glycolic acid) (22°C); Group 4 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl +5 ml GA (37°C), Group 5 was irrigated with 20 ml Dual Rinse® HEDP (Etidronate) - NaOCl mixture (22°C); and Group 6 was irrigated with 20 ml of Dual Rinse® HEDP mixture (37°C).

Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600077, India.

Polydopamine (PD), inspired by the wet adhesion mechanism of mussel foot proteins, has emerged as a promising adhesive material with wide-ranging applications. This study aimed to compare the adhesive properties of PD and Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) on enamel and dentin substrates, evaluating PD's potential as an alternative adhesive in dental practice. A total of 120 human premolars were prepared, with 80 teeth allocated for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis and 40 teeth reserved for shear bond strength testing.

Department of Paediatric Dentistry, Medical Centre for Dentistry, University Medical Centre Giessen and Marburg GmbH (Campus Giessen), Justus-Liebig-University, Giessen, Germany.

Background: Limited reports are available regarding bonding of universal adhesives to primary teeth' enamel.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of application mode and aging on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of universal adhesives to primary enamel.

Design: Ninety-six human primary molars were randomly assigned to three groups: SU: Scotchbond Universal (3M); CU: Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (Kuraray Noritake); iBU: iBond Universal (Heraeus Kulzer), then subdivided according to phosphoric acid etching time into three subgroups (SG): SG1: 0s; SG2: 15s; SG3: 30s.

HBT-DPI was a single-molecule multi-conformational fluorescent material and had unique applications for hydrophobic/hydrophilic mapping on large-scale heterogeneous surfaces. In this paper, the different proton transfer processes and luminescence mechanisms of HBT-DPI in Dichloromethane (DCM, no hydrogen bond (HB) receptor) and N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF, HB receptor) solvents were systematically studied. Using the quantum chemistry method, the stable structures of HBT-DPI in two solvents were determined based on the Boltzmann distribution.
