    Purpose: To evaluate the long-term microtensile bond strength (µTBS) to dentin, water sorption (WSP) and solubility (WSL), and degree of conversion (DC) of self-adhesive resin composites (SACs). Materials and methods: The mid-coronal dentin of human molars was exposed, and teeth were randomly assigned to five groups according to the SACs (n = 10): 1. FIT SA F03 (FIT); 2. Experimental (EXP); 3. Fusio Liquid Dentin (FLD); 4. Vertise Flow (VER); 5. Constic (CON). The µTBS was evaluated after 24 hours (24 h) and 6 months (6 m) storage. A scanning electron microscope examined failure modes and resin-dentin interfaces. The WSP and WSL (n = 5) were evaluated following ISO 4049:2019 specifications, and DC (n = 3) was measured using Raman spectroscopy. The statistical analyses were performed accepting a significance level of p = 0.05. Results: FIT, EXP, and FLD produced significantly higher µTBS median values than VER and CON after 24 h and 6 m (p 0.05). After 6m, the µTBS median of FIT and EXP significantly decreased (p 0.05), while FLD, VER, and CON showed no significant difference (p > 0.05). FLD and CON exhibited lower WSP than FIT, EXP, and VER (p 0.05). FLD presented the lowest (p 0.05), and VER revealed the highest WSL (p 0.05). FIT and EXP showed the highest (p 0.05), and VER demonstrated the lowest DC (p 0.05). Conclusions: Following the present study's design, SACs' bonding performance and physical properties remained restricted. Therefore, the application should be considered cautiously, and further clinical trials are necessary to evaluate their long-term performance.

    Long-Term Dentin Bonding Performance of Universal Adhesives: The Effect of HEMA Content and Bioactive Resin Composite
    (MDPI, 2024-12-16) Wu, Di; Yao, Ye; Cifuentes-Jimenez, Carolina Cecilia; Sano, Hidehiko; Álvarez-Lloret, Pedro; Yamauti, Monica; Tomokiyo, Atsushi; Biomedical and Applied Sciences, School of Dentistry
    This study investigated the effects of resin composites (RCs) containing surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler on the dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of HEMA-free and HEMA-containing universal adhesives (UAs). Water sorption (WS) and solubility (SL), degree of conversion (DC), and ion release were measured. The UAs BeautiBond Xtreme (BBX; 0% HEMA), Modified Adhesive-1 (E-BBX1; 5% HEMA), Modified Adhesive-2 (E-BBX2; 10% HEMA), and two 2-step self-etch adhesives (2-SEAs): FL-BOND II (FBII; with S-PRG filler) and silica-containing adhesive (E-FBII) were used. Teeth were restored with Beautifil Flow Plus F00 with S-PRG filler (BFP) and flowable resin composite with silica filler (E-BFP). μTBS was evaluated after 24 h and 6 months of water storage. WS and SL measurement followed ISO 4049:2019; spectroscopy measured DC; ICP-MS evaluated ion release. BBX and FBII presented the highest DC. The adhesives did not comply with the WS ISO requirements, but the bonding resin of 2-SEAs complied with the SL threshold. BFP released more ions than E-BFP. BFP positively affected the μTBS of UAs, regardless of HEMA concentration after 24 h, comparable to the 2-SEAs. The 6 months μTBS decrease depended on the adhesive and RC combination. HEMA did not affect the μTBS of UAs, while bioactive resins had a positive impact.
