Effect of Saliva Contamination and Decontamination on Bovine Enamel Bond Strength of Four Self-etching Adhesives

Abstract

SUMMARYObjective: This study evaluated the effect of saliva contamination on the bovine enamel microtensile bond strengths (µTBS) of four selfetching adhesives. Materials and Methods: The labial enamel surfaces of extracted non-carious bovine incisors were serially wet ground. The enamel surfaces were not contaminated (Group A), contaminated with saliva before/after priming (Groups B/C) or they were water-sprayed after salivary contamination occurred before/ after priming (Groups D/E). Four self-etching adhesives and the corresponding resin composites from the same manufacturer (Clearfil SE Bond + Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray Co; Xeno III + Ceram X, Densply; Frog + Ice, SDI; FL Bond II + Beautifil II, Shofu Inc) were applied onto the enamel surfaces. The µTBS tests were performed with a micro tester (BISCO, Inc). The enamel surface was analyzed with AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) before/after salivary contamination occurred or after the saliva-contaminated enamel was water-sprayed. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, factorial design ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's HSD multiple comparisons. Salivary contamination before and after priming could significantly reduce the enamel bond strength of self-etching adhesives. Proper isolation should be performed before and during application of the adhesives and placement of the resin composite. Thorough water-spraying could significantly improve the µTBS of saliva-contaminated enamel.

Improvement of enamel bond strengths for conventional and resin-modified glass ionomers: acid-etching vs. conditioning

“…Furthermore, bovine and human enamel possess the same bonding/cementing behavior with dental adhesives and cements (Nakamichi et al, 1983;Jiang et al, 2010;Yassen et al, 2011). Two matching pretreated enamel surfaces directly cemented together with GICs/RMGICs under finger pressure were chosen in this study, because dental prostheses are usually inserted onto or into prepared teeth under finger pressure and this method was also reported in a previous study (Altintas et al, 2008).…”

Repair of silorane-based composites: Microtensile bond strength of silorane-based composites repaired with methacrylate-based composites

“…Before fatigue simulation, the Weibull moduli of the "Silane" group was slightly higher than that of the "No Treatment" group, which may mean that the application of silane reduced the variation. Dentin or enamel surfaces contaminated by silane solutions may exhibit decreased bond strength during the repair process as saliva contamination on enamel surfaces reduces the enamel bond strength 25) . Therefore, omitting the silane treatment might be advantageous for repair work.…”

Comparison of Different Fissure Sealants Applied to Erupting First Permanent Molar Teeth in Terms of Retention

“…Yapı-lan bir çalışmada bu sonuçlarımızla benzer olarak, giomerlerin tükürük ve nem kontaminasyonu varlığında bağlanma dayanımının olumsuz yönde etkilendiği bildirilmiştir. 33 Bu başarısızlıkta, diğer fissür örtücülerden farklı olarak minenin pürüzlendirilmesinde fosforik asit uygulanmamasının da etkili olabileceği üze-rinde durulmuştur. Ancak, bu konuda yapılmış benzer bir çalışmada, BeautiSealant Primer ® uygulanan grubun, fosforik asit grubundan daha yük-sek bağlanma dayanımı gösterdiği bulunduğundan, bu düşüncemiz desteklenmemiştir.…”
