Background: High Configuration factor (C-factor) results into increased polymerization shrinkage causing stress at resin-dentin interface leading to failure of the restoration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of C-factor on micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of bulk fill composites in class-II cavities when restored in 4mm of bulk as compared to conventional composite.

Methodology: A total of 90 carious, crack free extracted human mandibular permanent molars were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups (n=30). On all samples, class II cavities (3.5X 3.5cm) were made by single operator and divided as Gp1 (2.5mm), Gp2 (4mm), and Gp3 (6mm) on the basis of depth of cavities. Sampling units of 30 in each group were further randomly subdivided into 3 subgroups (n=10 each subgroup), according to the type of composite resin systems to be used for restoration. Experimental Subgroup includes SubGp1 restored with SDR Surefil (Dentsply, caulk, USA) and SubGp2 restored with Sonic fill (kerr, orange, CA, USA), whereas SubGp3 restored with FILTEK Z250 served as control. After storage in water at 37◦C, the teeth were sectioned perpendicular to the restorative tooth interface as 1×1 mm non-trimmed rectangular micro-specimens for micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) testing. Beams (n=30 max) from each SubGp were fixed to a metal jig and subjected to micro-tensile bond strength testing. The data collected for micro-tensile bond strength (expressed in Mpa) were statistically analysed using one way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test.

Results: In class II cavities with high C-factor, SDR Surefil showed better μTBS than SonicFill and micro-filled composite when filled in bulk of 4mm, as compared to micro-hybrid composite filled incrementally.

Conclusion: There is no effect of high C-factor on μTBS of tooth restored with both SDR Surefil and Sonic Fill in class II cavities as compared to microhybrid composites.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) cavity disinfectant on interfacial microleakage and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive bonded to dentin in both self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) modes.

Methods: Class I cavities were prepared in the coronal dentin of extracted human teeth and assigned to two etching modes (SE or ER), then subdivided by disinfection with or without CHX (n = 5). Cavities were restored using Single Bond Universal Adhesive and Filtek Z350 XT composite.

Nanoparticles Induced Biomimetic Remineralization of Acid-Etched Dentin.

Statement Of The Problem: Dentin bonding with etch-and-rinse adhesives involves demineralizing the 5-8µm of the surface dentin to create micro space for resin infiltration. The presence of continuous fluid movement in dentin tubules and positive pulpal pressure prevents complete water replacement by resin monomers. This results in areas of demineralized dentin, which contain collagen fibers without resin infiltration.

This study evaluated the influence of phosphoric acid and primer on enamel bonding performance using Panavia V5. Ground bovine enamels were assigned: using K-etchant syringe and Tooth Primer (CT), using K-etchant syringe (PA), using Tooth Primer (TP), neither K-etchant syringe nor Tooth Primer was used (NC). The micro-tensile bond strength values of CT and PA were significantly higher than TP.

Gelatinolytic activity in dentin upon adhesive treatment.

Department of Oral Health Sciences, BIOMAT & UZ Leuven, Dentistry, KU Leuven, Kapucijnenvoer 7, 3000, Leuven, Belgium.

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.

Background: Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) present themselves as smooth saucer lesions with variable height and depth. Treatment of choice for these lesions should be aimed at conservative management by restoring the teeth. The present study aims to evaluate the micro-tensile bond strength in NCCLs after various surface pre-treatments.
