    (Quintessence, 2024-09-17) Yao, Ye; Wu, Di; Cifuentes-Jimenez, Carolina Cecilia; Sano, Hidehiko; Alvarez-Lloret, Pedro; Yamauti, Monica; Tomokiyo, Atsushi; Biomedical and Applied Sciences, School of Dentistry
    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.

    Effects of air-abrasion pressure on the resin bond strength to zirconia: a combined cyclic loading and thermocycling aging study
    (XMLink, 2017-08) Al-Shehri, Eman Z.; Al-Zain, Afnan O.; Sabrah, Alaa H.; Al-Angari, Sarah S.; Al Dehailan, Laila; Eckert, George J.; Özcan, Mutlu; Platt, Jeffrey A.; Bottino, Marco C.; Biomedical and Applied Sciences, School of Dentistry
    Objectives To determine the combined effect of fatigue cyclic loading and thermocycling (CLTC) on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a resin cement to zirconia surfaces that were previously air-abraded with aluminum oxide (Al2O3) particles at different pressures. Materials and Methods Seventy-two cuboid zirconia specimens were prepared and randomly assigned to 3 groups according to the air-abrasion pressures (1, 2, and 2.8 bar), and each group was further divided into 2 groups depending on aging parameters (n = 12). Panavia F 2.0 was placed on pre-conditioned zirconia surfaces, and SBS testing was performed either after 24 hours or 10,000 fatigue cycles (cyclic loading) and 5,000 thermocycles. Non-contact profilometry was used to measure surface roughness. Failure modes were evaluated under optical and scanning electron microscopy. The data were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance and χ2 tests (α = 0.05). Results The 2.8 bar group showed significantly higher surface roughness compared to the 1 bar group (p < 0.05). The interaction between pressure and time/cycling was not significant on SBS, and pressure did not have a significant effect either. SBS was significantly higher (p = 0.006) for 24 hours storage compared to CLTC. The 2 bar-CLTC group presented significantly higher percentage of pre-test failure during fatigue compared to the other groups. Mixed-failure mode was more frequent than adhesive failure. Conclusions CLTC significantly decreased the SBS values regardless of the air-abrasion pressure used.

    The effects of application time of a self-etching primer and debonding methods on bracket bond strength
    (Allen Press, 2012) Parrish, Brandon C.; Katona, Thomas R.; Isikbay, Serkis C.; Stewart, Kelton T.; Kula, Katherine S.; Orthodontics and Oral Facial Genetics, School of Dentistry
    Objective: To test the manufacturer's recommendation for the application rubbing time of a self-etching primer (Transbond Plus, 3M Unitek) and to compare the resulting bond strength of a resin composite (Transbond XT, 3M Unitek) in the traditional laboratory tension on all four wings with a simulation of the clinical single-wing lift-off debonding instrument (LODI; 3M Unitek). Materials and methods: Flattened stainless-steel maxillary incisor orthodontic brackets (Victory Series, 3M Unitek) were bonded to 108 flattened bovine incisors. The enamel was rubbed with the self-etching primer for 0, 5 (the manufacturer's recommendation), and 10 seconds during a 10-second application. Traditional four-wing and LODI simulated debonding forces and the adhesive remnant index (ARI) were recorded. Results: One-way analysis of variance testing among rubbing times and debonding methods indicated a significant difference in strength with 0 and 5 seconds of rubbing and between traditional and LODI simulated tension. The bond strengths were higher in the ARI = 1 subset compared to the ARI = 3-5 subsets. Conclusions: The manufacturer's recommendation for primer rubbing time produced the highest bond strength. Less force is required for debonding when tension is applied to one wing (LODI simulation) vs on all four wings.

    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.
