Current adhesive techniques allow clinicians to bond composite resin to dentin for esthetic restoration of defected tooth. However, a vulnerable adhesive-dentin interface remains clinically challenging resulting in frequent replacement of the restorations. The inappropriate management of exposed dentin plays a major role in jeopardizing the bond stability of the adhesive-dentin interface. To overcome this problem, this paper highlights an epigallocatechin-3-gallate/nanohydroxyapatite (EGCG/nHAp) platform (mesoporous silica-based) delivery approach to the adhesive-dentin interface and investigates its effectiveness on dentin bonding durability. Microtensile bond strength, interfacial nanoleakage, and in situ zymography were determined. The inhibition of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilm formation along the adhesive-dentin interface was assessed by confocal-laser scanning microscopy, colony forming units counts, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. Results revealed that applying the EGCG/nHAp delivery platform on exposed dentin could preserve the dentin bond strength and reduce interfacial nanoleakage after collagenase ageing; moreover, it could inactivate the activity of matrix metalloproteinase within the hybrid layer and inhibit the adhesion and biofilm formation of S. mutans. The proposed approach demonstrates great potential for stabilizing the adhesive-dentin interface to improve dentin bonding durability and prevent secondary caries progression, thereby indicating a promising strategy to prolong the service life of dental restorations.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a customized low-sodium bioactive glass (BG) fillers in experimental resin composites on their bond strength to dentin after 12 months of artificial aging. Specifically, it evaluated whether the bond strength was affected by different BG concentrations (0, 10, 20, 40 wt%) and artificial aging durations (1, 6, and 12 months).
Materials And Methods: Experimental composites were prepared with 10, 20, and 40 wt% of a customized low-sodium fluoride-containing BG.

In this multi-parameter study, the effect of diverse factors related to adhesive application on the activation of host-derived gelatinases was investigated by gelatin zymography, in-situ zymography, fluorogenic DQ-gelatin assay and micro-tensile bond-strength (μTBS) testing. Gelatin zymography disclosed the presence of gelatinases in phosphoric acid-etched dentin powder, while two gold-standard adhesives generated no measurable MMP activation. In-situ zymography revealed that the interfacial gelatinolytic activity from specimens treated with the two adhesives appeared similar as that of the EDTA negative control, indicating no detectable gelatinases were activated upon adhesive treatment.

The leading cause of composite restoration failure is secondary caries, and although caries is a multifactorial problem, weak, damage-prone adhesives play a pivotal role in the high susceptibility of composite restorations to secondary caries. Our group has developed synthetic resins that capitalize on free-radical polymerization and sol-gel reactions to provide dental adhesives with enhanced properties. The resins contain γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) as the Si-based compound.
