Bioactive fillers in dental adhesives are designed to release beneficial ions, such as calcium and phosphate, to help in remineralization process, and preventing secondary caries. Their incorporation also aims to improve the longevity of dental restorations. Herein, CaP nanoparticles were synthesized through a water-in-oil emulsion method using Tween80 as a surfactant and methacrylic acid (MAA). MAA officiated as a co-surfactant and reduced the size of CaP nanoparticle, including improved compatibility with the components of dental adhesive. The incorporation of 2% T80/CaP/MAA nanofillers into dental adhesive demonstrated increased efficiency, as evidenced by a higher degree of conversion (%DC) and greater micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS). More importantly, T80/CaP/MAA nanofillers were able to induce remineralization process in the dental structure, which was confirmed by EDX mapping and IR imaging. Finally, a cytotoxicity assessment of the dental adhesive containing T80/CaP/MAA showed no significant adverse effects on human fibroblast cells.

Bonding performance of universal adhesive systems with dual-polymerising resin cements to various dental substrates: in vitro study.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Department of Cariology and Operative Dentistry, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, 1-5-45 Yushima, Bunkyo-Ku, Tokyo, 113-8549, Japan.

Background: Resin cements often require substrate-specific pretreatment. Recently, universal adhesive systems have been introduced, simplifying procedures by eliminating the need for multiple adhesives and offering options that do not require light curing. This study investigated the bonding performance of universal adhesive systems combined with dual-polymerising resin cements on enamel, dentin, zirconia, lithium disilicate ceramics (LDS), and resin blocks.

The primary aim of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in degree of conversion (DC) between resin cements polymerized with an adhesive and those without an adhesive. The secondary aim was to compare interfacial gap of zirconia restoration when resin cements are self-cured. The DC of resin cement was measured without adhesive treatment continuously for 15 min and at 24 h.
