Analysis of the adhesive interface of dentine treated with carbodiimide and chitosan before cementation of fiberglass posts with different resin cements. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2023; 111:1840-1852. [PMID: 37287402 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) and chitosan (CHI) on the adhesive interface of resin cements to root dentine. Forty-five upper canines were sectioned, endodontically treated, prepared and divided into three groups according to dentine treatment (distilled water-DW, CHI 0.2% and EDC 0.5) and in three subgroups according to resin cement: RelyX ARC, Panavia F 2.0 or RelyX U200. Slices were obtained, with five slices of each third submitted to the analysis of the adaptation of the adhesive interface through scores and the perimeter with gaps in confocal laser scanning microscopy and one slice of each third later evaluated qualitatively in scanning electron microscopy. The results were analyzed using with Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation tests. There was no difference in adaptation for the different resin cements (p = .438). EDC presented better adaptation when compared to the groups treated with DW and CHI (p < .001), while the CHI and DW presented similar adaptation values (p = .365). No difference was observed in the perimeter referring to the gap areas for the different resin cements (p = .510). EDC showed a lower percentage of perimeters with gaps when compared to CHI (p < .001), with the percentage of perimeter with gaps of teeth treated with CHI being lower than DW (p < .001). A positive correlation coefficient equal to 0.763 was obtained between the perimeter with gaps and the adaptation data of the adhesive interface (p < .001). EDC resulted in better adaptation of the adhesive interface and a lower percentage of perimeters with gaps compared to chitosan.

Stability and remineralization of proteoglycan-infused dentin substrate. Dent Mater 2021; 37:1724-1733. [PMID: 34538503 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2021.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study tested the effects of small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) proteins on phosphoric acid (PA)-treated dentin bonding overtime and the role of such SLRPs in the remineralization potential of demineralized dentin collagen. METHODS Coronal dentin sections of human molars were used. SLRPs were either decorin (DCN) or biglycan (BGN) in core or proteoglycan form (with glycosaminoglycans, GAGs). Groups were: No treatment (control), DCN core, DCN + GAGs, BGN core, BGN + GAGs. Samples were etched with PA for 15 s and prior to application of Adper Single Bond Plus and composite buildup an aliquot of the specific SLRPs was applied over dentin. Twenty-four hours or 6 months after the bonding procedure, samples were tested for microtensile bond strength (MTBS). Debonded beams were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). For remineralization studies, dentin blocks were fully demineralized, infused with the SLRPs, placed in artificial saliva for 2 weeks, and evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). RESULTS MTBS test presented a mean of 51.4 ± 9.1 MPa in control with no statistically significant difference to DCN core (47.6 ± 8.3) and BGN core (48.3 ± 6.5). The full proteoglycan groups DCN + GAGs (27.4 ± 4.5) and BGN + GAGs (36.4 ± 13.6) showed decreased MTBS compared to control (p < 0.001). At 6 months, control or core-treated samples did not have a statistically significant difference in MTBS. However, SLRPs with GAGs showed statistically significant improvement of bonding (62.5 ± 6.0 for DCN and 52.8 ± 8.1 for BGN, p < 0.001) compared to their baseline values. SEM showed that GAGs seem to favor water retention but overtime help remineralization. TEM of demineralized dentin indicated a larger collagen fibril diameter pattern of samples treated with core proteins compared to control and a smaller diameter with DCN + GAGs in water with evidence of mineralization with DCN + GAGS, BGN core and BGN + GAGs. SIGNIFICANCE In conclusion, core proteins seem not to affect dentin adhesion significantly but the presence of GAGs can be detrimental to immediate bonding. However, after ageing of samples, full proteoglycans, particularly DCN, can significantly improve bonding overtime while promoting remineralization which can prove to be clinically beneficial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Knowledge of the structural organization and mechanical properties of dentin has expanded considerably during the past two decades, especially on a nanometer scale. In this paper, we review the recent literature on the nanostructural and nanomechanical properties of dentin, with special emphasis in its hierarchical organization. METHODS We give particular attention to the recent literature concerning the structural and mechanical influence of collagen intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar mineral in healthy and remineralized tissues. The multilevel hierarchical structure of collagen, and the participation of non-collagenous proteins and proteoglycans in healthy and diseased dentin are also discussed. Furthermore, we provide a forward-looking perspective of emerging topics in biomaterials sciences, such as bioinspired materials design and fabrication, 3D bioprinting and microfabrication, and briefly discuss recent developments on the emerging field of organs-on-a-chip. RESULTS The existing literature suggests that both the inorganic and organic nanostructural components of the dentin matrix play a critical role in various mechanisms that influence tissue properties. SIGNIFICANCE An in-depth understanding of such nanostructural and nanomechanical mechanisms can have a direct impact in our ability to evaluate and predict the efficacy of dental materials. This knowledge will pave the way for the development of improved dental materials and treatment strategies. CONCLUSIONS Development of future dental materials should take into consideration the intricate hierarchical organization of dentin, and pay particular attention to their complex interaction with the dentin matrix on a nanometer scale.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of temperature of evaporation in adhesive systems with different solvents on the apparent modulus of elasticity and mass change of macro-hybrid layers modified by proanthocyanidins (PACs). METHODS Adhesive resin beams (A) from Single Bond Plus (SB), Excite (EX) and One Step Plus (OS) were prepared after solvent evaporation at 23°C or 40°C (n=12). Macro-hybrid layers (M) (n=12) were prepared using demineralized dentin beams sectioned from extracted human third molars. The demineralized dentin specimens were infiltrated with each one of the three adhesive systems at 23°C or 40°C; with or without prior dentin treatment with PACs for 10min. The apparent modulus of elasticity (E) and mass change (Wmc, %) of adhesives beams and resin-infiltrated specimens were assessed in dry and wet conditions after immersion in water (24h, 1, 3 and 6 months). The E was statistically analyzed by Tukey-Kramer test and the Wmc, % by Kruskal Wallis, and Dunn (α=0.05). RESULTS Solvent evaporation at 40°C resulted in higher E values for adhesive resin beams at all storage conditions, regardless of the adhesive system (p<0.05). Increased mass loss (3 months: -0.01%; 6 months: -0.05%) was observed in One Step resin beams (p≤0.05). In the macro-hybrid layer models the pretreatment with PACs along with solvent evaporation at 40°C increased E and decreased the Wmc, % (3 months: -2.5; 6 months: 2.75%) for adhesives evaluated over time (p<0.05). No significant differences in ratio (resin/dentin) were found for the macro-hybrid layers (p>0.05). SIGNIFICANCE Improved solvent evaporation at higher temperature, and increased collagen cross-linking induced by PACs, enhanced the mechanical properties resulting in highly stable macro-hybrid layers over 6 months storage.

Abstract
Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) and dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) are extracellular matrix proteins produced by odontoblasts involved in the dentin mineralization. The aim this study was to compare the distribution of DMP1 and DSPP in human sound dentin vs human sclerotic dentin. Sixteen sound and sixteen carious human molars were selected, fixed in paraformaldehyde and processed for immunohistochemical detection of DMP1 and DSPP by means of light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution field emission in-lens scanning electron microscopy (FEI-SEM). Specimens were submitted to a pre-embedding or a post-embedding immunolabeling technique using primary antibodies anti DMP1 and anti-DSPP and gold-conjugated secondary antibodies. Other samples were processed for the detection of DMP1 and DSPP levels. Dentin from these samples was mechanically fractured to powder, then a protein extraction and a protein level detection assay were performed. DMP1 and DSPP were more abundant in carious than in sound samples. Immunohistochemical analyses in sclerotic dentin disclosed a high expression of DMP1 and DSPP inside the tubules, suggesting an active biomineralization of dentin by odontoblasts. Furthermore, the detection of small amounts of these proteins inside the tubules far from the carious lesion, as shown in the present study, is consistent with the hypothesis of a preventive defense of all dentin after a noxious stimulus has undermined the tooth.

Abstract
This review examines the fundamental processes responsible for the aging mechanisms involved in the degradation of resin-bonded interfaces, as well as some potential approaches to prevent and counteract this degradation. Current research in several research centers aims at increasing the resin-dentin bond durability. The hydrophilic and acidic characteristics of current dentin adhesives have made hybrid layers highly prone to water sorption. This, in turn, causes polymer degradation and results in decreased resin-dentin bond strength over time. These unstable polymers inside the hybrid layer may result in denuded collagen fibers, which become vulnerable to mechanical and hydrolytical fatigue, as well as degradation by host-derived proteases with collagenolytic activity. These enzymes, such as matrix metalloproteinases and cysteine cathepsins, have a crucial role in the degradation of type I collagen, the organic component of the hybrid layer. This review will also describe several methods that have been recently advocated to silent the activity of these endogenous proteases.

Abstract
Dentin is a mineralized dental tissue underlying the outer enamel that has a peculiar micro morphology. It is composed of micrometer sized tubules that are surrounded by a highly mineralized structure, called peritubular dentin (PTD), and embedded in a collagen-rich matrix, named intertubular dentin. The PTD has been thought to be composed of a highly mineralized collagen-free organic matrix with unknown composition. Here we tested the hypothesis that proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, two important organic structural features found in dentin, are key participants in the microstructure and composition of the PTD. To test this hypothesis dentin blocks were demineralized with 10 vol% citric acid for 2 min and either digested with 1mg/ml TPCK-treated trypsin with 0.2 ammonium bicarbonate at pH 7.9 (TRY) or 0.1 U/mL C-ABC with 50mM Tris, 60mM sodium acetate and 0.02% bovine serum albumin at pH 8.0 (C-ABC). TRY is known to cleave the protein core of dentin proteoglycans, whereas C-ABC is expected to selectively remove glycosaminoglycans. All specimens were digested for 48 h in 37°C, dehydrated in ascending grades of acetone, immersed in HMDS, platinum coated and imaged using an FE-SEM. Images of demineralized dentin revealed a meshwork of noncollagenous fibrils protruding towards the tubule lumen following removal of the peritubular mineral and confirmed the lack of collagen in the peritubular matrix. Further, images revealed that the peritubular organic network originates from a sheet-like membrane covering the entire visible length of tubule, called lamina limitans. Confirming our initial hypothesis, after the digestion with C-ABC the organic network appeared to vanish, while the lamina limitans was preserved. This suggests that glycosaminoglycans are the main component of the PTD organic network. Following digestion with TRY, both the organic network and the lamina limitans disappeared, thus suggesting that the lamina limitans may be primarily composed of proteoglycan protein cores. In summary, our results provide novel evidence that (1) PTD lacks collagen fibrils, (2) PTD contains an organic scaffold embedded with mineral and (3) the PTD organic matrix is manly composed of glycosaminoglycans, whereas the lamina limitans is primarily made of proteoglycans protein cores.

Abstract
In ethanol wet bonding, water is replaced by ethanol to maintain dehydrated collagen matrices in an extended state to facilitate resin infiltration. Since short ethanol dehydration protocols may be ineffective, this study tested the null hypothesis that there are no differences in ethanol dehydration protocols for maintaining the surface roughness, fibril diameter, and interfibrillar spaces of acid-etched dentin. Polished human dentin surfaces were etched with phosphoric acid and water-rinsed. Tested protocols were: (1) water-rinse (control); (2) 100% ethanol-rinse (1-min); (3) 100% ethanol-rinse (5-min); and (4) progressive ethanol replacement (50-100%). Surface roughness, fibril diameter, and interfibrillar spaces were determined with atomic force microscopy and analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and the Student-Newman-Keuls test (α = 0.05). Dentin roughness and fibril diameter significantly decreased when 100% ethanol (1-5 min) was used for rinsing (p < 0.001). Absolute ethanol produced collapse and shrinkage of collagen fibrils. Ascending ethanol concentrations did not collapse the matrix and shrank the fibrils less than absolute ethanol-rinses.

Abstract
This study evaluated the micropermeability of six etch-and-rinse adhesives bonded to dentin. There were two principal groups: wet bonding with water or wet bonding with absolute ethyl alcohol. After bonding and the creation of composite build-ups, the pulp chambers were filled with 0.1% lucifer yellow. The contents of the pulp chamber were kept under 20 cm H(2)O pressure to simulate pulpal pressure for 3 h. The specimens were vertically sectioned into multiple 0.5-mm thick slabs that were polished and then examined using a two-photon confocal laser scanning microscope (TPCLSM). The results showed that specimens bonded with adhesives using the water wet-bonding condition all showed tracer taken up uniformly by the hybrid layer. This uptake of fluorescent tracer into the hybrid layer was quantified by computer software. The most hydrophobic experimental resins showed the highest fluorescent tracer uptake (ca. 1800 +/- 160 arbitrary fluorescent units/std. surface area). The most hydrophilic experimental resins showed the lowest tracer uptake into water-saturated hybrid layers. When ethanol wet-bonding was used, significantly less fluorescent tracer was seen in hybrid layers. The most hydrophilic experimental resins and Single Bond Plus showed little micropermeability. Clearly, ethanol wet-bonding seals dentin significantly better than water-wet dentin regardless of the adhesive in etch-and-rinse systems.

Aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of versican proteoglycan within the human dentine organic matrix by means of a correlative immunohistochemical analysis with field emission in-lens scanning electron microscope (FEI-SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), fluorescence microscope (FM) and biochemical assay. Specimens containing dentine and predentine were obtained from non carious human teeth and divided in three groups: 1) FEI-SEM group: sections were exposed to a pre-embedding immunohistochemical procedure; 2) TEM group: specimens were fixed, demineralised, embedded and submitted to a post-embedding immunohistochemical procedure; 3) FM group: sections mineralised and submitted to a pre-embedding immunohistochemical procedure with fluorescence labelling. Specimens were exposed to two different antibodies to assay distribution of versican fragments and whole versican molecule. Western Blotting analysis of dentine and pulp extracts was also performed. The correlative FEI-SEM,TEM and FM analysis revealed positive immunoreaction for versican fragments both in predentine and dentine, while few gold particles identifying the whole versican molecule were found in predentine only under TEM. No labelling of versican whole molecule was detected by FEI-SEM and FM analysis. The immunoblotting analysis confirmed the morphological findings. This study suggests that in fully developed human teeth versican fragments are significant constituents of the human dentine and predentine organic matrix, while versican whole molecule can be visualised in scarce amount within predentine only. The role of versican fragments within human dentine organic matrix should be further elucidated.

Abstract
Dentin bonding relies on complete resin impregnation throughout the demineralised hydrophilic collagen mesh. Chondroitin sulphate-glycosaminoglycans are claimed to regulate the three-dimensional arrangement of the dentin organic matrix and its hydrophilicity. The aim of this study was to investigate bond strength of two etch-and-rinse adhesives to chondroitinase ABC treated dentin. Human extracted molars were treated with chondroitinase ABC and a double labeling immunohistochemical technique was applied to reveal type I collagen and chondroitin 4/6 sulphate distribution under field emission in-lens scanning electron microscope. The immunohistochemical technique confirmed the effective removal of chondroitin 4/6 sulphate after the enzymatic treatment. Dentin surfaces exposed to chondroitinase ABC and untreated specimens prepared on untreated acid-etched dentin were bonded with Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose or Prime and Bond NT. Bonded specimens were submitted to microtensile testing and nanoleakage interfacial analysis under transmission electron microscope. Increased mean values of microtensile bond strength and reduced nanoleakage expression were found for both adhesives after chondroitinase ABC treatment of the dentin surface. Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose increased its bond strength about 28%, while bonding made with Prime and Bond NT almost doubled (92% increase) compared to untreated specimens. This study supports the hypothesis that adhesion can be enhanced by removal of chondroitin 4/6 sulphate and dermatan sulphate, probably due to a reduced amount of water content and enlarged interfibrillar spaces. Further studies should validate this hypothesis investigating the stability of chondroitin 4/6 and dermatan sulphate-depleted dentin bonded interface over time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Most of current dental adhesive systems show favorable immediate results in terms of retention and sealing of bonded interface, thereby counteracting polymerization shrinkage that affects resin-based restorative materials. Despite immediate efficacy, there are major concerns when dentin bonded interfaces are tested after aging even for short time period, i.e. 6 months. METHODS This study critically discusses the latest peer-reviewed reports related to formation, aging and stability of resin bonding, focusing on the micro and nano-phenomena related to adhesive interface degradation. RESULTS Most simplified one-step adhesives were shown to be the least durable, while three-step etch-and-rinse and two-step self-etch adhesives continue to show the highest performances, as reported in the overwhelming majority of studies. In other words, a simplification of clinical application procedures is done to the detriment of bonding efficacy. Among the different aging phenomena occurring at the dentin bonded interfaces, some are considered pivotal in degrading the hybrid layer, particularly if simplified adhesives are used. Insufficient resin impregnation of dentin, high permeability of the bonded interface, sub-optimal polymerization, phase separation and activation of endogenous collagenolytic enzymes are some of the recently reported factors that reduce the longevity of the bonded interface. SIGNIFICANCE In order to overcome these problems, recent studies indicated that (1) resin impregnation techniques should be improved, particularly for two-step etch-and-rinse adhesives; (2) the use of conventional multi-step adhesives is recommended, since they involve the use of a hydrophobic coating of nonsolvated resin; (3) extended curing time should be considered to reduce permeability and allow a better polymerization of the adhesive film; (4) proteases inhibitors as additional primer should be used to increase the stability of the collagens fibrils within the hybrid layer inhibiting the intrinsic collagenolytic activity of human dentin.

Abstract
Decorin and biglycan, two small leucine-rich proteoglycans, have been proposed to play important roles in matrix-mediated formation of mineralized tissues, and their three-dimensional arrangement in human dentin is still not completely understood. The aim of this study was to immunohistochemically analyze the distribution of decorin and biglycan in human predentin/dentin organic matrix under a high-resolution field emission in-lens scanning electron microscope (FEI-SEM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Tooth dentin specimens were submitted to either a preembedding or a postembedding immunolabeling technique using primary antibodies antidecorin and antibiglycan and gold-conjugated secondary antibodies. Correlative FEI-SEM/TEM observations showed that the two antibodies yielded a similar labeling pattern over the processes of odontoblasts and the predentin. Decorin and biglycan were mainly associated with the collagen fibers within the predentin layer, revealing a moderate immunoreaction that was significantly higher compared to the one observed on dentin. Thus, a generally weak labeling for decorin was found in dentin, which, however, was significantly higher on odontoblast processes within dentinal tubules than in intertubular dentin. On the other hand, biglycan immunolocalization on dentin revealed few gold particles rather uniformly distributed, without showing significant differences between tubular and intertubular regions. In conclusion, this study reveals distinct distribution patterns of decorin and biglycan and their relation with collagen. Decorin's and biglycan's precise roles within prematrix and mineralized matrix in human teeth should be further clarified.

Abstract
AIM To identify type I- (I-CF) and type III-collagen fibrils (III-CF) and chondroitin 4/6 sulphate (CS) within human pre-dentine by means of a correlative analysis under field emission in-lens-scanning electron microscopy (FEI-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). METHODOLOGY Human-extracted teeth were obtained and submitted to either a pre-embedding or a post-embedding immunolabelling procedure using monoclonal primary antibodies anti-I-CF, anti-III-CF and anti-CS. Gold-conjugated secondary antibodies were coupled to primary antibodies to visualize labelling under the electron beam. Correlative labelling patterns were obtained for I-CF and CS under both FEI-SEM and TEM. RESULTS Field emission in lens-SEM analysis revealed an intricate three-dimensional network of I-CF and CS clarifying the intimate relationship between the two main components of the pre-dentine organic matrix. TEM analysis revealed odontoblasts exhibiting intracellular labelling for CS, which became more intense and diffuse over the pre-dentine organic matrix. The same diffuse immunoreaction was revealed for I-CF, whereas a weak immunolocalization of III-CF was found scattered throughout the pre-dentine layer and over the collagen fibrils. CONCLUSIONS Both the pre- and post-embedding immunohistochemical approaches have led to the visualization of CF- and CS-labelling distribution within the pre-dentine layer, adding further knowledge on the elucidation of collagen-proteoglycans interaction in the organic matrix of human dental roots.

Abstract
Amylase and lysozyme are components of the salivary pellicle, exposing considerable enzymatic activity in the immobilized state. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the influence of different solid substrata on the amount and distribution of amylase and lysozyme exposed on the surface of the salivary pellicle formed in situ. Slabs of titanium, feldspar ceramic, and bovine enamel were fixed on the buccal sites of individual splints worn by three subjects for 3 or 30 min, respectively, to allow pellicle formation. Subsequently, slabs were removed from the splints and rinsed with running water. Detection of amylase and lysozyme was performed by FEI-SEM after gold-immunolabeling of the enzymes. Both enzymes were found to be distributed randomly at the pellicle surface. Irrespective of formation time and substratum, significantly more labeled lysozyme molecules (5.23 +/- 4.5 microm(-2)) were detected compared with amylase (3.4 +/- 2.9 microm(-2)). Neither the substratum nor the pellicle formation time had significant impact on the amount of the respective enzyme that could be detected. This study for the first time provides evidence, that amylase and lysozyme are exposed at the surface of the salivary pellicle formed in situ on titanium and ceramics. Both enzymes are distributed randomly on the surface of the pellicle, irrespective of the underlying substratum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preservation of structural and biochemical properties of the root dentin matrix is crucial to favor healing and regenerative periodontal processes. Aim of this study was to evaluate the biochemical characteristics of collagen and chondroitin sulphate of root dentin surfaces exposed by periodontal disease after acid conditioning by means of an immunohistochemical technique. DESIGN Human teeth scheduled for extraction due to periodontal reason were submitted to: (A) scaling and root planning; (B) ultrasonic instrumentation; (C) no instrumentation. Teeth were then exposed to: (1) 10% citric acid; (2) 17% EDTA; (3) no etching. A double immunolabeling technique was performed to identify type-I collagen and proteoglycans and analyzed under FEI-SEM. RESULTS Use of 10% citric acid revealed intense labeling for collagen fibrils and proteoglycans; lower labeling was found after EDTA conditioning. Unetched specimens showed residual smear layer on the dentin surface resulting in no evident surface labeling. CONCLUSIONS This study supports the hypothesis that manual or ultrasonic instrumentation alone is not able to expose the sound dentin matrix, whereas a subsequent acidic conditioning exposes collagen fibrils and associated proteoglycans. The immunohistochemical technique revealed that despite their acidity, both citric acid and EDTA were able to preserve the structural and biochemical properties of the exposed dentin matrix.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of errors commonly made in using total-etch adhesives, on the resulting bond strength, fluid movement and nanoleakage of resin dentin bonds. METHODS Two total-etch adhesives were used for bonding to dentin according to the manufacturers' recommendations, with meticulous solvent evaporation (control), or with the introduction of common bonding errors-wet bonding without solvent evaporation (no evaporation), and dry bonding. RESULTS The 24-hour bond strength of the control was significantly higher than the other groups (p <0.05). For all groups, the higher initial permeability declined significantly after 24 h. The fluid movement across bonded dentin was similar in the control and dry bonding for both adhesives, whereas significantly higher permeability (p<0.05) was recorded for the no evaporation groups even after 24 h. Extensive silver impregnation within hybrid layers was seen by TEM in the no evaporation and dry bonding specimens after 24 h. Dry bonding caused collapse of the collagen matrix and interfered with resin infiltration. In contrast, inadequate solvent evaporation and/or residual water during dentin bonding results in dilution or incomplete polymerization of the resin, leading to severe nanoleakage formation. SIGNIFICANCE Increased permeability associated with incomplete solvent evaporation in total-etch adhesives may lead to poor bond strength.

Abstract
Immunological and biochemical analyses have shown that alpha-amylase is an essential component of the acquired pellicle. After adsorption, this enzyme might act as a receptor for bacterial adherence. However, data indicating that amylase is bound to the pellicle surface in vivo and thus available for adhering bacteria are rare. Therefore, the present study focused on alpha-amylase within the pellicle formed in situ, using gold-immunolabeling electron microscopic techniques. Pellicles were formed by intra-oral exposure of enamel specimens for 30 and 120 min in six subjects. The results obtained by transmission electron microscopy indicate that amylase was randomly distributed in the pellicle layer without any preferential localization within the pellicle. Thus, salivary alpha-amylase might be considered as an important structural component that is even involved in the early stages of pellicle formation. The findings of field emission in-lens scanning electron microscopy provided evidence that the enzyme is located on the pellicle surface. It could be concluded that alpha-amylase might act as a receptor for bacterial adherence to the pellicle in vivo.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to examine the morphology of the hybrid layer (HL) of bonded water-stored specimens after different chemical pre-treatments of dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven recently extracted human molars were selected. Fifty-four dentin disks in middle/deep dentin were obtained with a slow speed saw with a diamond-impregnated disk under water lubrication. Smear layers were created with 180 grit silicon carbide under running water for 1 min. Different pre-treatments of dentin were: Group (1) no treatment; Group (2) 35% H3PO4 etch for 15 s followed by 10% glutaraldehyde for 120 s; Group (3) 37% H3PO4 etch for 15 s followed by 5% NaOCl for 120 s. Three dentin bonding agents (DBAs), Prime and Bond NT (P and B), AdmiraBond (AB), and Clearfil SE Bond (SEB) were applied in association with a resin composite following the manufacturers' directions. Each specimen was then longitudinally sectioned and polished with wet SiC papers (up to #4000 grit). Impressions of the polished dentin were immediately taken with a silicone impression material. Bonded specimens were then stored for 3 or 12 h in deionized water. Further impressions of stored specimens were taken after air-drying of specimens for 10 s. Positive replicas were obtained using a polyether impression material. All the replicas and the original specimens were inspected by SEM. RESULTS A line of droplets (0.5-4 microm in diameter) was observed along the region of the adhesive-HL junction in all replicas of specimens stored in water, except in group 3, when P and B and AB were used. When SEB was used in each group the droplet were found in all groups except the zone of droplets was thinner. No differences in droplets dimensions were seen between 3 or 12 h water storage, or between the different dentin treatments. CONCLUSIONS The replica procedure used in this study was able to detect water trapped in the adhesive-HL region that was released during the setting of the impression material. The droplets observed in this region support the hypothesis that there can be bidirectional water movement within the adhesive-HL complex.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the influence of phosphoric acid pretreatment on shear bond strength of two self-etching bonding systems to enamel and dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight extracted third human molar teeth were mounted, embedded into polystyrene resin, polished with 600-grit aluminum oxide papers, and randomly divided into four groups (n = 12): group 1-Clearfil Liner Bond 2V (Kuraray Co. Ltd., Osaka, Japan); group 2-One Up Bond F (Tokuyama Corp., Tokyo, Japan); group 3-phosphoric acid (Condicionador Dental Gel, Dentsply Ind. Com. LTDA, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Clearfil Liner Bond 2V; group 4-phosphoric acid and One Up Bond F. In groups 3 and 4 the substrate was pre-etched for 15 seconds with 37% phosphoric acid, rinsed, and dried with an air stream. In all groups adhesive systems were applied according to manufacturers' instructions and light cured; then a restorative composite resin (TPH Spectrum, Dentsply Ind. Com. LTDA) was placed in a polytef matrix and cured. The specimens were stored in humidity for 7 days at 37 degrees C. The shear bond strength test was performed in a universal test machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. All procedures were repeated for the dentin evaluation. Mean values were analyzed with two-way analysis of variance and Duncan tests (p < .05). RESULTS The values obtained are listed in decreasing order: enamel-group 3 = 24.6 MPa, group 4 = 23.6 MPa, group 1 = 19.2 MPa, group 2 = 8.5 MPa; dentin-group 1 = 17.2 MPa, group 2 = 16.1 MPa, group 4 = 13.1 MPa, group 3 = 11.3 MPa. CONCLUSIONS Under the conditions of this study, enamel etching with 37% phosphoric acid provided statistically significant higher shear bond strength values, regardless of the adhesive system. However, in dentin, for Clearfil Liner Bond 2V, phosphoric acid pretreatment negatively affected bond strength values. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The use of self-etching systems in composite-to-enamel bonding restorative techniques still needs improvement when compared with the high bond strengths obtained with phosphoric acid treatment. However, lower shear bond strengths were observed in dentin when phosphoric acid was used in association with either adhesive system.

Abstract
Immunocytochemical analysis is a fundamental and selective technique for identifying different molecular components of human dental structure. The hypothesis tested here is that the application of different etching solutions on dentin does not hinder collagen fibrils and proteoglycans from maintaining their immunochemical antigenicity. Human dentin disks were treated with 0.5M of EDTA, citric acid, maleic acid, or phosphoric acid (for 15 or 30 s). A double-immunolabeling technique was performed to identify, simultaneously, collagen fibrils and chondroitin sulfate. The use of different acids resulted in different degrees of labeling. Maleic and citric acids revealed a diffuse and intense labeling for both collagen fibrils and proteoglycans. The use of phosphoric acid on dentin showed a massive coagulation of the proteoglycans (15 s) or very low labeling (30 s). These data clarify that the use of acids on dentin components is able to modify their antigenicity. Moreover, the double-labeling immunocytochemical technique allows understanding of the spatial relationships between the collagen fibrils and proteoglycans of the dentin matrix.

Abstract
The hypothesis tested in this study is that the application of phosphoric acid prevents collagen fibrils (CF) from maintaining their structural morphology, as assessed by their immunochemical antigenicity. Dentin was conditioned with EDTA and with 35% H3PO4 for 15, 30, and 60 s. For a control there was no treatment. A pre-embedding immunohistochemical procedure was evaluated under high-resolution SEM and a postembedding immunolocalization technique was performed on ultrathin sections at TEM level. Conditioning with EDTA resulted in a weaker labeling signal than for dentin conditioned with H3PO4. The most intense labeling was observed after dentin had been etched with H3PO4 for 15 s. The least intensive labeling was evident when the acid was applied for 30 s or for 60 s. A very weak signal was detected on the untreated dentin surface. These results provide evidence that a 15-s application of 35% H3PO4 causes mineral dissolution of the crystals enveloping the superficial CF without damaging the ultrastructure of the CF while longer applications of 35% H3PO4 cause alterations in the CF that decrease their antigenicity.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to show the influence of dissolved dentinal polyelectrolytes on the characteristics of dentin (bonding substrate) demineralized by citric acid in the absence or presence of ferric chloride. The demineralizing agent was an aqueous mixture of 0, 1, 3, or 10% ferric chloride in 10% citric acid (10-0, 10-1, 10-3, 10-10, respectively). The hypothesis was that the concentration of dissolved dentinal noncollagenous substances, mainly polyelectrolytes soluble in water, must be decreased by their aggregation with ferric ions, which changes the characteristics of demineralized dentin, the rates of demineralization, and dehydration. Cervical bovine dentin was prepared in 3 x 2 x 2-mm blocks, each weighing 20.0 +/- 0.5 mg. The rate of demineralization was investigated by measuring the weight loss resulting from demineralization by immersion in 10 mL of conditioner at 2-h intervals. The dehydration rate of wet demineralized dentin was determined using two methods: (1) weight loss in a desiccator under 263 Pa pressure and (2) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Twenty, 12, 8, and 4 h were required to complete demineralization of the blocks with the 10-0, 10-1, 10-3, and 10-10 solutions, respectively. The 10-10 wet demineralized dentin showed the highest rate of dehydration, followed in descending order by the 10-3, 10-1, and 10-0 specimens. Ferric chloride in dentin conditioners provided both a higher rate of dentin demineralization and a higher dehydration rate of wet demineralized dentin. These results suggest that in the presence of ferric chloride, a decreasing amount of dissolved polyelectrolytes aggregated with ferric ions in the substrates may increase the permeability of dentin to water and citric acid. Improvement of monomer permeability is essential to the preparation of good hybridized dentin, providing a more stable and reliable bonding and also protecting the dentin and pulp from infection. A further study of bonding substrates is required in order to understand the role of hybridized dentin in improved dental treatment.
