The current study investigates the influence of three dentin hypersensitivity treating agents (Gluma CPS, MS Coat and Saforide) on bond strength to dentin of two luting agents (Panavia Fluoro Cement and Super-Bond C & B). Sixty bovine dentin substrates were divided into 12 combinations of four treatment conditions (Gluma CPS, MS Coat, Saforide and control) and three adhesive systems (AD Gel sodium hypochlorite + Panavia Fluoro Cement, Panavia Fluoro Cement without AD Gel and Super-Bond C & B). After bonding the treated teeth to steel rods, 24-h tensile bond strengths were determined, and average values (n=5) were compared by analysis of variance (ANOVA). Without application of the desensitizers, bond strengths of the two groups (Super-Bond C & B, 10.2 MPa; AD Gel + Panavia, 11.5 MPa) were comparable, and they were greater than the group bonded with the Panavia material with no AD Gel conditioning (7.1 MPa). Application of the Saforide ammoniated silver fluoride desensitizer reduced bond strength of both the Super-Bond and Panavia luting agents, whereas the MS Coat polymeric agent negatively affected bond strength of the Panavia cement only. The use of the Gluma desensitizer did not affect bond strength of any of the three adhesive systems, and the bond strength of the Panavia cement with the AD Gel conditioning was not reduced by application of any of the three desensitizers. The four combinations of two desensitizers (MS Coat and Gluma CPS) and two adhesive systems (Super-Bond C & B and AD Gel + Panavia) are deemed to be applicable to fixed prosthodontic treatment.

This study investigated the effects of surface treatments on the bond strength of a resin composite to a commercially pure titanium. The bonding surfaces of all titanium specimens were ground with 1,000-grit silicon carbide paper and then subjected to one or more of these surface treatments: sandblasting with alumina (sand), etching with 45wt% H 2 SO 4 and 15wt% HCl (SH-etchant) at 70°C for 10 min, and/or phosphate primer (MDP-primer) application. Specimens not subjected to any surface treatment were used as controls. After resin composite veneer placement and 24-h water immersion, the shear bond strengths of the specimens in descending order were: sand/SH-etchant/MDP-primer, sand/SH-etchant/no primer, no sand/SH-etchant/MDP-primer, sand/no etch/MDP-primer, no sand/SH-etchant/no primer, sand/no etch/no primer, no sand/no etch/MDP-primer, no sand/no etch/no primer. Scanning electron microscope observations revealed that sandblasting and SH-etchant created many micro-and nanoscale cavities on the titanium surface. Results showed that a combined use of sandblasting, SH-etchant, and MDP-primer application had a cooperative effect on titanium bonding.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate ascorbic acid (AS) and ferric chloride (FE) for bonding 4-META/MMA-TBB resin to dentin that had been treated with NaClO. An experimental dentin conditioner consisting of 10%AS and 5%Fe (10AS-5FE) and three controls (10AS-0FE, 0AS-5FE, and 0AS-0FE) were prepared.Ascorcic acid neutralizes NaClO. The flattened dentin surfaces were modified sequentially with phosphoric acid etchant, NaClO agent, and the experimental conditioner, then each surface was bonded to a stainless steel rod with 4-META/MMA-TBB resin. The Super-Bond C&B (10-3/SB) system was also used.24-hour tensile bond strengths were determined. The bonding system using 10AS-5FE conditioner showed significantly high bond strength compared to 10AS-0FE, 0AS-5FE, and 0AS-0FE. No significant differences were observed between 10AS-5FE and 10-3/SB. Microphotographs suggested that no hybrid layer formed in the 10AS-5FE group. Although the use of phosphoric acid and NaClO resulted in decreased bond strength between 4-META/MMA-TBB resin and dentin, additional conditioning with ascorbic acid and ferric chloride improved the bond strength.

The present study investigates the influence of the pulpotomy agent formaline cresol (FC) on bond strength between dentin and five adhesive systems (Super-Bond C&B, Bistite II, Imperva Dual Set, Panavia 21, and Panavia 21 with AD Gel). After the dentin surfaces of 75 bovine teeth (including 25 control samples) were exposed by grinding, 25 of the samples were soaked in FC for 2 days, and 25 samples were soaked for 7 days. Samples were bonded to acrylic rods using five adhesive systems, and tensile bond strengths were determined after 1-day immersion in water. Data were analysed by analysis of variance and Duncan's new multiple range test, and the fractured surfaces were observed through a scanning electron microscope. The bond strengths were found to be influenced by the type of system, soaking period, and their combination. The bond strength values of three adhesive systems (Super-Bond C&B, Imperva Dual Set Bistite II, and Panavia 21 with AD Gel) decreased after soaking in FC. After 7 days of FC exposure, the highest bond strength (9.8+/-2.9 MPa) was obtained with the Super-Bond C&B system.
