This study evaluates the effect of phosphoric acid etching of enamel margins on the microleakage of a simplified all-in-one and a self-etching adhesive system in comparison to a conventional total-etch system. SUMMARYSixty buccal Class V cavities with beveled enamel margins were made at the cemento-enamel junction of extracted human premolars and randomly divided into five groups of 12 specimens. Clearfil SE bond was applied to Group 1; Group 2 had 35% phosphoric acid etching of the enamel margins plus Clearfil SE Bond; Group 3 was administered iBond; Group 4 had 35% phosphoric acid etching of the enamel margins plus iBond and Scotchbond Multi-Purpose was used on Group 5. All the groups were restored with a resin composite. After 24 hours of storage in 100% humidity, the samples were thermocycled, immersed in a dye solution and sectioned buccolingually and microleakage of the enamel margins was evaluated on a scale of 0 to 2. Differences among Groups 3 and 4 and Groups 3 and 5 were significant (p<0.05); however, no statistically significant differences were found between the other groups (p>0.05). The current study shows that simplified all-in-one adhesive systems need

Background:As the use of different irrigants to eliminate residual debris and smear layer in the field of endodontic is unavoidable, by considering the effect of irrigants on the bond strength of resin composite restorations, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of a mixture of a tetracycline isomer, an acid, and a detergent (MTAD) on the shear bond strength of two self-etch adhesives, Clearfil SE Bond and Adper Prompt L- Pop to dentin.Materials and Methods:The crowns of 80 extracted premolars were transversally sectioned to expose dentin. Flat dentin surfaces were wet abraded with 320-grit abrasive paper and randomly assigned to eight groups according to two self-etch adhesive and four dentin surface treatments: direct application over smear layer (no treatment), etching with 35% phosphoric acid for 15s, 1 min 5.25% NaOCl/1 min MTAD and 20min 1.3% NaOCl/5min MTAD. Shear bond strength was tested 24 h after storage in distilled water at 37°C in incubator. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by duncan post-hoc (α=0.05).Results:Phosphoric acid etching prior to SE Bond application significantly decreased the shear bond strength to dentin (P<0.05). Application of MTAD clinical protocol (20min 1.3% NaOCl/5min MTAD) did not significantly decrease the shear bond strength of self-etch adhesives to dentin (P=0.745)Conclusions:Based on the results of present investigation, it seems that the use of clinical protocol of 1.3% NaOCl as a root canal irrigant and a 5-min application of MTAD as a final rinse to remove the smear layer has no adverse effect on the shear bond strength of self-etch adhesives to dentin.

Aim:This study evaluated the effect of filler existence in self-etch adhesive resin on the marginal leakage of a class V restoration.Materials and Methods:Class V cavities were prepared and restored with a resin composite on the buccal surfaces of 48 premolars lined with unfilled or filled adhesives (n = 24). After thermo cycling, teeth in each group were divided to two subgroups (n = 12), specimens of the first subgroup were incubated for 24 h in distilled water at 37°C, and for the second group three months in the same condition. Specimens were placed in 50% silver nitrate for 24 h at 37°C, and then were cut buccolingually 1 mm thick. Dye penetration was measured using a stereomicroscope and scaled from 0 to 5 in a blind method. SEM images were made to evaluate the dentin-adhesive interfaces. Collected data were analyzed using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests at a significant level of P<0.05.Results:There was no significant difference between microleakage of filled and unfilled adhesive at 24 h and 3 months (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in cervical microleakage between 24 h and 3 months, which was independ on filler load of the adhesive (P<0.001). In contrast, there was no significant difference in occlusal microleakage between 24 h and 3 months and the cervical microleakage was significantly higher than occlusal microleakage after 3 months. SEM images reveald that unfilled adhesive infiltrate slightly better than filled adhesive.Conclusion:The application of filler particles in a self etch adhesive system had no influence on marginal leakage at both the enamel and dentin margins. While the unfilled adhesive infiltrate better than the filled adhesive, its long term performance is not promising.
