Background/purpose: Dual-cure resin-cements are used for various dental restorations. However, whether the curing modes of these resin-cements influence gingival inflammation remains unclear. Hence, herein, we evaluated the effects of dual-cure resin-cement curing modes on gingival cytotoxicity and inflammatory responses.
Materials And Methods: Specimens were prepared using two dual-cure resin-cements-RelyX Unicem 2 (RU) and G-CEM ONE (GO)-by light-cure or self-cure modes. Degree of conversion (DC) and monomer elution of the resin-cements were measured using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography, respectively. Human gingival fibroblasts (GFs) and macrophages were cultured on resin-cements, and inflammatory cytokine levels, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation were evaluated.
Results: Light-cured (LC) resin-cements exhibited significantly higher DC and lower monomer elution than did self-cured (SC) resin-cements. Triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) were substantially eluted from RU and GO, respectively. Neither LC resin-cement exhibited cytotoxicity and enhanced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in GFs and macrophages. However, both SC resin-cements significantly decreased cell numbers and promoted cellular inflammatory responses. SC generated higher intracellular ROS levels compared to that seen with LC, and different patterns of MAP kinase activation were observed between SC-RU and SC-GO.
Conclusion: Compared with LC dual-cure resin-cements, SC dual-cure resin-cements show stronger cytotoxicity and elicit greater inflammatory responses in gingival cells owing to residual monomers (e.g., TEGDMA and UDMA) by activating MAP kinases in GFs and macrophages. Clinicians should ensure adequate light irradiation during prosthesis cementation and make efforts to remove the excess cement.

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 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.

Objective: To evaluate the shear strength of adhesives based on the type of solvent (ethanol and acetone), aged and light-cured using light-emitting diode (LED) units with different wavelengths. Polywave and monowave LED units were employed for this study.
Materials And Methods: Ninety bovine tooth samples were analyzed using OptiBond Universal adhesive (acetone) and single bond universal adhesive (ethanol).
