Objective: This study investigated the effect of silver diammine fluoride (SDF), nano-silver (AgNPs) and nano-silver/potassium fluoride (AgNPs/KF) on the morphology of dentin collagen and color staining on the dentin. Also, we investigated the anti-caries properties in terms of anti-bacterial effects and potentiality of dentin remineralization at collagen level.
Methods: Dentin specimens obtained from bovine tooth roots were finished with #2000 SiC and sonicated for 5min. Specimens were divided into two main groups: sound and demineralized dentin. Each group was subdivided into five subgroups according to treatment solution: control (no treatment), SDF, nano-silver (AgNPs), AgNPs/KF and KF. Specimens were analyzed using transmission electron microscope (TEM), spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and antibacterial test. Repeated Measures ANOVA was used for statistical analysis of color change while one-way ANOVA was used for CFU analysis.
Results: Regarding color change, SDF showed the highest values while the other groups exhibited insignificant changes. SDF showed alteration in the collagen fibrils while the other groups showed normal intact fibrils. Regarding antibacterial activity, SDF and AgNPs/KF showed the greatest antibacterial effect.
Significance: SDF altered the dentin collagen morphology and inferior ethetics, but still providing intrafibrillar remineralization. Nano-silver fluoride preparations (AgNPs/KF) can be an alternative material for SDF as it can preserve the dentin collagen, showing no color change overtime, and provide a high anti-caries property including intrafibrillar remineralization with a significant anti-bacterial effect.

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.

To overcome limitations of dentin bonding due to collagen degradation at a bonded interface, incorporating bioactive glass (BAG) into dentin adhesives has been proposed to enhance remineralization and improve bonding durability. This study evaluated sol-gel-derived BAGs (BAG79, BAG87, BAG91, and BAG79F) and conventional melt-quenched BAG (BAG45) incorporated into dentin adhesive to assess their remineralization and mechanical properties. The BAGs were characterized by using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy for surface morphology.

Recently, photoactivated riboflavin (RF) treatments have been approved to improve resin-dentin bonding by enhancing dentinal collagen crosslinking. This study aimed to evaluate whether RF activated by blue light (BL, 450 nm) strengthens the collagen matrix, increases resistance to enzymatic degradation, and improves adhesion as effectively as ultraviolet A (UVA, 375 nm) activation. Six groups were examined: control (no treatment); RF0.

Background: Short dentin etching, a relatively recent technique, aims to improve resin-dentin bonding by preserving hydroxyapatite crystals within the collagen spaces. This study explores short dentin etching's potential in mitigating over-etching issues in deep proximal dentin/cementum margins, an aspect not previously investigated. This study evaluates the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and marginal adaptation of two universal adhesives using different etch-and-rinse strategies (15-second and 3-second etching) and self-etch strategies, both immediate and post-thermal cycling and mechanical loading.
