The Influence of Fluoride Gels on the Physicochemical Properties of Tooth Tissues and Dental Materials-A Systematic Review. Gels 2024; 10:98. [PMID: 38391429 PMCID: PMC10888496 DOI: 10.3390/gels10020098] [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: 12/24/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of the presented systematic review is to update the state of knowledge and relate the properties and composition of fluoride gels to their potential application. This article aims to explore the effect of fluoride gel application on changes in the properties of dental biomaterials and tooth tissues. The review includes articles assessing studies on the effects of fluoride gel on dental tissues and materials. Employing the PRISMA protocol, a meticulous search was conducted across the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, utilizing keywords such as fluoride, gel, and properties. The publications were selected without limitation by the year of publication, and then Cohen's κ test was used to assess the agreement of the respondents. Exclusion criteria included non-English studies, opinion pieces, editorial papers, letters to the editor, review articles and meta-analyses, clinical reports, studies lacking full-text accessibility, and duplicates. The quality of the chosen papers was assessed by two independent reviewers. A total of 2385 were located in databases, of which only 17 met the inclusion criteria. All publications showed increased surface mineralization, and seven studies showed the effect of fluoride gel on the surface of dental tissues. Three articles stated a negative effect of fluoride gels on titanium and stainless steel alloys and glass ionomer fillings. The effects on shear bond strength and plaque deposition require further investigation because the study results are contradictory.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrafast fiber laser treatment on the bond strength between titanium and resin cement. A total of 60 pure titanium discs (15 mm × 2 mm) were divided into six test groups (n = 10) according to the surface treatment used: group (1) control, machining; group (2) grinding with a diamond bur; group (3) ultrafast fiber laser application; group (4) resorbable blast media (RBM) application; group (5) electro-erosion with copper; and group (6) sandblasting. After surface treatments, resin cements were applied to the treated titanium surfaces. Shear bond strength testing of the samples was performed with a universal testing machine after storing in distilled water at 37 °C for 24 h. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD post hoc test were used to analyse the data (P < 0.05). The highest bond strength values were observed in the laser application group, while the lowest values were observed in the grinding group. Sandblasting and laser application resulted in significantly higher bond strengths than control treatment (P < 0.05). Ultrafast fiber laser treatment and sandblasting may improve the bond strength between resin cement and titanium.

Abstract
Purpose of the Study: It is difficult to achieve a reliable bond between the titanium and veneering porcelain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength between titanium ceramic crowns. Materials and Methods: The surfaces of titanium copings were divided in two groups. Group A sandblasted with 250 um (n = 10) and Group B without sandblasting (n = 10). Low-fusing porcelain was bonded over copings. A universal testing machine was used to determine the fracture load (N) of the crowns. All data were compared using Student's t-test. Results: There was a significant difference in fracture toughness between two groups (P = 0.05). The mean value of fracture strength for Group A was 721.66 N and for Group B was 396.39 N. Conclusions: Sandblasting improves the bond strength between titanium, and ceramic, mechanical bonding plays a crucial role in the bonding between titanium and ceramic.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of atmospheric plasma (APL) versus conventional surface treatments on the adhesion of self-adhesive resin cement to Ti-6Al-4V alloy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty plates of machined titanium (Ti) discs were divided into five groups (n=12): 1) Untreated (CNT); 2) Sandblasted (SAB); 3) Tribochemically treated (ROC); 4) Tungsten CarbideBur (TCB); 5) APL treated (APL). SEM analysis and surface roughness (Ra) measurements were performed. Self-adhesive resin cement was bonded to the Ti surfaces and shear bond strength (SBS) tests, Ra and failure mode examinations were carried out. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and chi-squared test. RESULTS The lowest SBS value was obtained with CNT and was significantly different from all other groups except for APL. The ROC showed the highest SBS and Ra values of all the groups. CONCLUSION It was concluded that the effect of APL on SBS and Ra was not sufficient and it may not be a potential for promoting adhesion to titanium.

Abstract
Objective This study evaluated the effect of three metal conditioners on the shear bond
strength (SBS) of a prosthetic composite material to cpTi grade I having three
surface treatments. Material and Methods One hundred sixty eight rivet-shaped specimens (8.0x2.0 mm) were cast and
subjected to polishing (P) or sandblasting with either 50 mm (50SB) or 250 mm
(250SB) Al2O3. The metal conditioners Metal Photo Primer
(MPP), Cesead II Opaque Primer (OP), Targis Link (TL), and one surface
modification system Siloc (S), were applied to the specimen surfaces, which were
covered with four 1-mm thick layers of resin composite. The resin layers were
exposed to curing light for 90 s separately. Seven specimens from each
experimental group were stored in water at 37ºC for 24 h while the other 7
specimens were subjected to 5,000 thermal cycles consisting of water baths at 4ºC
and 60ºC (n=7). All specimens were subjected to SBS test (0.5 mm/min) until
failure occurred, and further 28 specimens were analyzed using scanning electron
microscope (SEM) and X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Data were
analyzed by 3-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Tukey's test
(α=0.05). Results On 50SB surfaces, OP groups showed higher SBS means than MPP (P<0.05), while no
significant difference was found among OP, S, and TL groups. On 250SB surfaces, OP
and TL groups exhibited higher SBS than MPP and S (P<0.05). No significant
difference in SBS was found between OP and TL groups nor between MPP and S groups.
The use of conditioners on 250SB surfaces resulted in higher SBS means than the
use of the same products on 50SB surfaces (P<0.05). Conclusion Sandblasting associated with the use of metal conditioners improves SBS of resin
composites to cpTi.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the shear bond strength between commercially pure titanium, with and without laser welding, after airbone-particle abrasion (Al(2)O(3)) and 2 indirect composites. Sixty-four specimens were cast and divided into 2 groups with and without laser welding. Each group was divided in 4 subgroups, related to Al(2)O(3) grain size: A - 250 microm; B - 180 microm; C- 110 microm; and D - 50 microm. Composite rings were formed around the rods and light polymerized using UniXS unit. Specimens were invested and their shear bond strength at failure was measured with a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 2.0 mm/min. Statistical analysis was carried out with ANOVA and Tukey's test (alpha=0.05). The highest bond strength means were recorded in 250 microm group without laser welding. The lowest shear bond strength means were recorded in 50 microm group with laser welding. Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found between all groups. In conclusion, airborne particle abrasion yielded significantly lower bond strength as the Al(2)O(3) particle size decreased. Shear bond strength decreased in the laser welded specimens.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of four different fluoride etchants in titanium bonding. The etchants were aqueous solutions of 5 wt% sodium fluoride (NaF), ammonium fluoride (NH4F), sodium hydrogen fluoride (NaFHF), and ammonium hydrogen fluoride (NH4FHF). Cast specimens of commercially pure titanium were air-abraded with alumina, etched for 30 seconds, and then primed with a phosphate primer. An acrylic rod was bonded to the specimen with a tri-n-butylborane-initiated self-curing luting agent. Shear bond strengths were determined before and after 10,000 thermocycles. Regarding pre-thermocycling bond strength, there were no significant differences among the etchants. After thermocycling, there was a decrease in bond strength for all groups. Nonetheless, the bond strengths of NaFHF and NH4FHF were significantly higher than those of NaF, NH4F, and non-etched control. In terms of bonding durability between resin and titanium, it was significantly improved when the titanium surface was microscopically roughened with alumina blasting and etching using NaFHF or NH4FHF.

Abstract
Adhesive bonding between resin and titanium is useful for resin-bonded prostheses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of an etchant, consisting of ammonium hydrogen fluoride (AHF) and phosphoric acid (PA), in titanium bonding. Cast specimens of commercially pure titanium were air-abraded with alumina and etched for 30 s, after which a primer (ALP) was applied. An acrylic rod was bonded to the specimen with one of the two luting agents being examined (Super-Bond QUICK and Panavia F2.0). Shear bond strengths were determined following 10,000 thermocycles. When Panavia F2.0 was applied, neither the etchant nor the ALP primer showed significant effect on bond strength. The postthermocycling bond strength of Super-Bond QUICK was significantly improved with the use of an etchant and ALP primer. Although microscopic observation revealed that considerable numbers of submicron pits were created on the specimens etched using AHF with PA, no significant difference in bond strength was detected in the application of AHF, with or without PA. The present findings suggested that the improved bonding durability was due to the micromechanical retention between the resin and the microscopically roughened titanium surface.

Abstract
This investigation was carried out in order to evaluate ammonium hydrogen fluoride (AHF) and cupric chloride (CC) as components of a metal etchant. The surface of cast titanium-aluminum-niobium (Ti-6Al-7Nb) was air-abraded with alumina, etched for 10 s, and rinsed with water. A phosphate or a thiophosphate primer was applied to the bonding area, and an acrylic rod was bonded to the specimen with a tri-n-butylborane-initiated self-curing luting agent. Shear bond strengths were determined after thermocycling (4 degrees C and 60 degrees C) for 10,000 cycles. The average bond strength was significantly influenced by thermocycling, AHF, and primer, but was not influenced by CC. The maximum average bond strengths were obtained when the etchant consisted of 5mass% AHF, with and without 0.3mass% CC. Microphotographs showed that numerous micropits were created on the etched surface, suggesting increased micromechanical retention. In conclusion, chemical etching with 5mass% AHF significantly improved the durability of resin bonding to Ti-6Al-7Nb.
