This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) as a biomodifier of eroded and abraded dentin. Forty dentin specimens were obtained from the buccal surface of bovine teeth. The specimens were randomly distributed in 4 groups according to dentin substrate: sound or eroded/abraded and dentin biomodification: with 0.5% EGCG and no biomodification (control group). Specimens were subdivided according to aging time: 24 h and 3 months for the analysis of microtensile bond strength (n = 10), morphology of the adhesive interface by SEM (n = 3) and dentin micropermeability by fluorescence microscope (n = 8). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS system version 20.0 with a significance level of 5%. The results revealed that the control group with eroded-abraded dentin exhibited the lowest bond strength values at 24 h and 3 months. However, the application of 0.5% EGCG as a biomodifier significantly increased bond strength on both sound and eroded-abraded substrates. After 3 months, all groups exhibited an adhesive interface with a more intense fluorescence in the adhesive layer, indicating an increase in porosity at the interface. In conclusion, the EGCG application as a biomodifier enhanced bond strength on both sound and eroded-abraded dentin substrates, however, adhesive interfaces are more regular when restorations are performed on sound dentin, regardless of the biomodification with EGCG.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a chlorhexidine digluconate solution (CHX) applied as an antiproteolytic agent for controlling erosive tooth wear or as part of the adhesive treatment on long-term bond strength to eroded dentin. Dentin specimens were abraded with a 600-grit silicon carbide (SiC) paper for 1 min (sound dentin - S), subsequently treated with 2% CHX for 1 min (with excess removed, followed by a 6-hour rest), and eroded by exposure to Coca-Cola for 5 min, three times a day, for 5 days (CHX-treated and eroded dentin - CHXE), or only eroded (eroded dentin - E). The specimens were acid-etched (15 s), rinsed (30 s), dried (15 s), and rehydrated with 1.

Background: This study aimed to assess the influence of different pretreatment protocols and antioxidants application on the shear bond strength (SBS) of universal adhesive to sound (SoD) and caries-induced dentin (CID).
Methods: One hundred and twenty posterior teeth had their occlusal enamel removed, then the specimens were divided into two main groups according to dentin substrates; SoD and CID, three subgroups according to pretreatments protocols control (no pretreatment), NaOCl-treated, and Er, Cr:YSGG-treated and two divisions according to antioxidant application (with and without sodium ascorbate (SA) application). All-Bond Universal (ABU) universal adhesives was applied in self-etch (SE) mode then resin composite discs were built.

Cadmium (Cd) isotopes have recently emerged as novel tracers of Cd sources and geochemical processes. Widespread clay minerals play a key role in Cd migration due to their strong adsorption capacity, but the mechanism of Cd isotope fractionation during adsorption onto clay minerals is poorly understood. Here, we experimentally investigated the adsorption mechanisms of Cd on montmorillonite (2:1) and kaolinite (1:1) by using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy.
