AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to analyze how different rotary instruments affect the surface roughness of human dentin and its impact on the bond strength of self-etch adhesives.
  • Surface preparation resulted in significant differences in both the dentin's roughness and the micro-tensile bond strength, with cross-cut carbide burs producing the roughest surfaces and tungsten carbide finishing burs yielding the smoothest.
  • High bond strength values were consistently observed for the etch-and-rinse adhesive (OptiBond FL), while self-etch adhesives showed similar bond strength across different rotary instruments.

Article Abstract

Purpose: To characterize the surface roughness of human dentin prepared with different rotary instruments and its influence on the micro-tensile bond strength (microTBS) of self-etch adhesives.

Methods: Dentin surfaces were created from mid-coronal sound dentin in extracted, human third molars. The teeth were ground with high-speed diamond, tungsten carbide finishing, and cross-cut carbide rotary instruments. Morphological changes obtained were investigated with a surface texture analyzer. Two additional specimens from each group were treated and prepared for scanning electron microscopy. Resin composite (Z 100) was bonded to the surfaces using Optibond FL (control), Adper Prompt L-Pop (strong), Clearfil SE Bond (mild), or Clearfil S3 Bond (ultra-mild). Rectangular micro-specimens were prepared using the slow-speed diamond saw and tested in tensile to determine the microTBS. The data were analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's HSD test (alpha= 0.05).

Results: Surface preparation resulted in significant differences for surface topography and micro-tensile bond strength (P< 0.001). The cross-cut carbide burs had significantly higher mean roughness readings (SD) for all parameters: Ra [8.6 (1.9) microm], Rq [10.9 (2.2) microm], and Ry [41.1 (2.1) microm], except for the mean Rz [12.1 (3.1) microm] value, which was recorded for diamonds. The other roughness parameters for the diamond rotary instruments were intermediate. Dentin surfaces completed with tungsten carbide finishing burs produced a smoother surface Ra [1.2 (0.5) microm)] Rq ([1.6 (0.6) microm], Ry [6.4 (2.6) microm)] and Rz [1.9 (0.6) microm)]. The etch-and-rinse adhesive (OptiBond FL) yielded high micro-tensile values (58.1-68.3 MPa), irrespective of the rotary instruments used. The micro-tensile bond strength values were comparable for self-etch adhesives (Adper Prompt L-Pop, Clearfil SE Bond, Clearfil S3 Bond) irrespective of the burs used. The microTBS values were significantly higher with tungsten carbide finishing burs and smooth dentin surfaces.

Investigate the impact of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using different photosensitizers (PSs) such as indocyanine green (IG), curcumin (CC), and methylene blue (MB), with or without intracanal application of calcium hydroxide (CH), on the push-out bond strength of glass-fiber posts (GFPs) to intraradicular dentin, the chemical composition of the root substrate, and the sealing of the adhesive interface across different thirds of intraradicular dentin. A total of 112 bovine teeth underwent biomechanical preparation and were divided into eight experimental groups (n = 14 each): Negative control with deionized water; positive control with deionized water + CH; IG group with indocyanine green and infrared laser; IG + CH group; CC group with curcumin and blue LED; CC + CH group; MB group with methylene blue and red laser; and MB + CH group. The push-out bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine (n = 8), and scanning electron microscopy characterized the fracture patterns.

Background/purpose: The efficacy of riboflavin-ultraviolet-A (RF-UVA) treatment in crosslinking collagen and improving dentin bonding has been proven. However, biodegradation of the hybrid layer may compromise the bonding. The purpose of this study was to evaluate different RF-UVA treatments regarding their ability to preserve dentin bonding from enzymatic digestion.
