[PMID: 38909647 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.105147] [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: 06/01/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was (a) to assess the effect of universal adhesives and tooth primers with novel touch-cure activators on the conversion of dual-cured resin composite luting agents (RLAs) polymerized under the self-curing mode, and (b) to investigate the source of the catalytic effect exerted by the activators. MATERIALS AND METHODS The materials selected were the adhesive RLAs Panavia V5/Tooth Primer (PV5/TP5), Variolink Esthetic DC/Adhese Universal DC (VLE/ADC), and the self-adhesive RLAs GCem ONE/AE Primer (GCO/AEP), RelyX Universal/Scotchbond Universal Plus (RXU/SUP) and Panavia SA Universal/Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (PSU/CUQ), the later serving as a control with an aryl-sulfinate activator. Coronal dentin specimens were prepared (n = 5/material), treated with the corresponding primers/adhesives (non-irradiated) and covered with a 100 μm-thick RLA layer (SC+A group). Three specimen series were additionally prepared (n = 3 × 5/material): A self-cured without the primers/adhesives (SC group), a dual-cured (20 s irradiation) with the corresponding primers/adhesives (DC+A group) and a dual-cured without primers/adhesives (DC group). All specimens were stored for 15 min (37 °C/dark/60 %RH). After demolding the degree of C = C conversion (DC%, top RLA surfaces) was measured by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The primer/adhesive liquids were further analyzed by ICP-MS and the microbrush tips of ADC by SEM-EDS. RESULTS The touch-cure activators increased the DC% in all self-cured RLAs but failed to reach the values of the corresponding dual-cured RLAs. The effect of the activators in dual-cured specimens was negligible. The ICP-MS analysis showed the presence of V (AEP, TP5, ADC) and Cu (SUP) transitional metals in the activators, with V been located at the free ends of ADC tip bristles. The V activators demonstrated the highest DC% improvement in self-cured specimens. CONCLUSION The new touch-cure activators significantly increased the conversion of the self-cured RLAs. Therefore, this step should be considered as universally applicable and not selective, as currently proposed for the self-adhesive luting agents by the manufacturers.

Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:661. [PMID: 38475344 DOI: 10.3390/polym16050661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the thickness and translucency of various computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materials on the polymerization of dual-cure resin cement in endocrown restorations. Three commercially available CAD/CAM materials-lithium disilicate glass (e.max CAD), resin composite (CERASMART), and a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (ENAMIC)-were cut into plates with five different thicknesses (1.5, 3.5, 5.5, 7.5, and 9.5 mm) in both high-translucency (HT) and low-translucency (LT) grades. Panavia V5, a commercial dual-cure resin cement, was polymerized through each plate by light irradiation. Post-polymerization treatment was performed by aging at 37 °C for 24 h under light-shielding conditions. The degree of conversion and Vickers hardness measurements were used to characterize the polymerization of the cement. The findings revealed a significant decrease in both the degree of conversion and Vickers hardness with increasing thickness across all CAD/CAM materials. Notably, while the differences in the degree of conversion and Vickers hardness between the HT and LT grades of each material were significant immediately after photoirradiation, these differences became smaller after post-polymerization treatment. Significant differences were observed between samples with a 1.5 mm thickness (conventional crowns) and those with a 5.5 mm or greater thickness (endocrowns), even after post-polymerization treatment. These results suggest that dual-cure resin cement in endocrown restorations undergoes insufficient polymerization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the setting characteristics, wettability and bonding capacity with a lithium disilicate ceramic of a silane containing self-adhesive resin luting agent (Panavia SA Universal-PU). METHODS The degree of conversion (DC %) and extent of acid neutralization (SY %) of PU were measured on dual- (DC) and self-cured (SC) specimens after 10, 30 and 60 min storage by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, whereas the presence of silanols was traced by curve-fitting the 60 min spectra, using the silane-free analog (Panavia SA Plus-PS) as a control. The role of a dedicated adhesive (Clearfil Universal Bond Quick-CU) in assisting the early DC % in PU-SC was investigated on 10 min-stored specimens. The water contact angles on polished and HF acid-etched lithium disilicate surfaces (IPS e.max Press), were assessed before and after silanization by unset PU or a silane primer (Ultradent Silane-SL). Finally, the shear strength of PU-DC specimens bonded to the acid-etched ceramic surfaces was determined before and after SL treatment. RESULTS The DC % was higher in DC than SC (PU, PS; all time intervals), in PU-SC than PS-SC (30, 60 min) and in the CU assisted PU-SC group. The SY % was lower in DC than SC (PU, PS) and higher in PS-SC than PU-SC groups. Silanols were found only in unset PU and PU-DC groups. SL treatment provided higher water contact angles on polished and acid-etched ceramic surfaces and higher shear bond strength on acid-etched ceramic surfaces than PU (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). SIGNIFICANCE Although the degree of conversion of the silane containing luting agent was improved in the self-curing mode, especially in the adhesive assisted group, it was still inferior to light-curing. Acid-neutralization and presence of silanols were affected by the setting modes. The use of a silane primer enhanced the hydrophobicity and bond strength of the silane containing luting agent with the etched ceramic substrate.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different types of restorative materials and resin cements on the stress distribution in the regions of the restoration, cement layer and dental remnant in endodontically treated posterior endocrowns. Methods A 3D finite element analysis (FEA) model of the first mandibular molar that was restored with an endocrown designed by computer-aided design (CAD) software was generated. Three kinds of restorative materials (Vita Enamic (VE), IPS e.max CAD (EMX) and Grandio blocs (GR)) and two types of cementing materials (NX3 and Maxcem Elite Chroma (MX)) were analysed with such a model. The food layer was also designed before vertical (600 N) forces were applied to simulate physiological masticatory conditions. Thermal expansion was used to simulate the polymerization shrinkage effects of cement layers. The results were obtained by colorimetric graphs of the maximum principal stress in the restoration and tooth remnant. The failure risk of the cement layer was also calculated based on the normal stress. Results The elastic modulus was positively correlated with the tensile stress peak values in the restoration, mainly at the intaglio surface. However, in the cervical enamel and cement layer, restorative material with a higher elastic modulus generated lower peak stress values. The cement with a higher elastic modulus resulted in higher stress peak values inside the cement layer. The combination of EMX (restorative material) and NX3 (cement material) in the cement layer resulted in the lowest failure risk. Significance The ceramic material EMX with a higher elastic modulus appeared to be more effective at protecting the cement layer and residual enamel tissue. Based on the analysis of the failure risk of the cement layer, the combination of EMX and NX3 was recommended as an optional material for endocrowns for endodontically treated posterior teeth.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the influence of different enamel etching times on the bond strength of two self-adhesive resin cements (RCs) with and without thermocycling (TMC). METHODS One hundred twenty bovine teeth were used. Blocks of enamel (8×4×2mm) were obtained, polished, and randomly divided into two groups, according to the RC used: MaxCem Elite or RelyX U200. Groups were subdivided into four groups (n=16), according to the etching time: Control (0 seconds), 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and 20 seconds. Three RC cylinders (1-mm diameter) were built on each enamel block. The specimens were submitted to two storage conditions: 24 hours in distilled water or TMC (5000 cycles/5°C-55°C). Afterward, the specimens were submitted to the shear bond strength (SBS) test. The failure modes and adhesive interfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Data were analyzed with three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test (α=0.05). RESULTS Etching increased the SBS for both the RCs,especially forthe groups etched for 5 and 10 seconds. TMC affected negatively the SBS of the control groups (p<0.05). No resin tags were observed in control groups, and the formation of tags was time dependent. CONCLUSION The 10 seconds etching time was more effective in increasing the enamel-resin bond strength. TMC negatively affected bond strength in specimens without acid etching.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the degree of conversion and the mechanical properties of five composite core build-up materials polymerized in dual-curing and self-curing modes. The materials tested were: Clearfil DC Core Plus (CF), Gradia Core (GC), Luxacore-Z Dual Smartmix (LX), Multicore Flow (MC) and Paracore (PC). Disk-shaped specimens were prepared from each material; half the specimens were light-cured, whereas the rest were only self-cured. After a 3-week storage period (dark/dry/37 °C) the Martens Hardness, Indentation Modulus, and Elastic Index were determined by instrumented indentation testing (IIT), while the degree of conversion was assessed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Statistical analysis was performed by 2-way ANOVA and post-hoc testing (α = 0.05). The dual-curing mode resulted in statistically higher Martens Hardness and Elastic Index than the self-curing mode in most materials but showed insignificant differences in Indentation Modulus. MC and PC demonstrated significantly higher degree of conversion in both curing modes. Overall, the self-curing mode was inferior to the dual-curing in conversion and mechanical properties for most products, despite their differences in monomer composition and filler loading.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to measure the cement thickness obtained when ceramic rods were luted to dentin and to analyze the relation between cement thickness and the previously published tensile bond strength of similar test specimens. In addition, the ISO standard 4049:2019 method was used to determine the film thickness of the used cements. Zirconia (n = 100) and lithium disilicate (n = 50) rods were cemented to bovine dentin using one of five different resin-based cements. The ceramic-dentin test specimens were cut into two slices and the cement thickness was measured using a scanning electron microscope and compared to the bond strength values of similar specimens already published. The mean cement thickness recorded for ceramic rods cemented to dentin was in the range 20-40 μm, which was larger than the cement film thickness found by the ISO method. The cement film thickness determined according to ISO standard methods did not concur with the results obtained when cementing ceramic rods to dentin. For cementing ceramic restorations, a cement thickness in the range 25-35 μm seems to be favorable for the bond strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess energy dissipation capacities and surface damping abilities of different CAD/CAM restorative materials (CRMs) to characterize stress resistance during load peaks. METHODS Using instrumented indentation testing (IIT), Martens hardness (HM) together with its elastic (ηIT) and plastic index (ηITdis) and Leeb hardness (HLD) together with its deduced energy dissipation (HLDdis) were determined for eight ceramic, eight composite, and four polymer-based materials as well as three metals. The results were compared to those of bovine enamel. Ten indentations per material were performed at room temperature (23 ± 1 °C) on two separate specimens (12.0 × 12.0 × 3.5 mm3) after water storage (24 h; 37.0 ± 1.0 °C). Hardness parameters were recorded, and data were analyzed with one-way MANOVA (Games-Howell post hoc tests, α = 0.05). Correlations between different parameters were tested (Pearson, α = 0.05). RESULTS Independently determined HLDdis, and ηITdis values substantiated different energy dissipation characteristics of CRM, whereby a strong correlation was observed for the two datasets (r = 0.956, p = 0.011). Ceramics had the significantly lowest values (p < 0.001) while both parameters revealed the highest surface damping effects for metals (p < 0.001), followed in both cases by bovine enamel. Energy dissipation of polymer and composite CRM was in between ceramics and bovine enamel (p < 0.001), whereas only for HLDdis did both show no significant difference (p > 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE Promising new HLDdis and ηITdis data allow a reliable differentiation of energy dissipation and surface damping capacities of CRMs. Previously published rankings of edge chipping and loss tangent results were perfectly reproduced, especially by HLDdis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the retentive strength of zirconium oxide (yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP)) crown-copings treated by combined mechanical and chemical treatments and cemented by four types of self-adhesive resin cements (SARCs) to human prepared teeth, before and after six months of aging in water and thermocycling. A total of 120 molar teeth were mounted, prepared using a standardized protocol and digitally scanned, and Y-TZP copings were produced. Teeth were randomly assigned to four SARC groups. Prior to cementation, the intaglio surfaces of all crowns were sandblasted and then coated with Z-Prime™ Plus (Bisco Dental, Schaumburg, IL, USA). Post cementation, each cement group was subdivided into aged and non-aged groups. After aging, the cemented assemblies were tested for retentive strength using a universal testing machine. Failure analysis was conducted by inspecting all matched debonded surfaces of the teeth and crowns at 3× magnification. Aging treatment did not affect the retentive strength of the Y-TZP crown-copings (p = 0.918). The interaction between cement and aging was statistically significant (p = 0.024). No significant differences in the retentive strengths between the different SARCs were observed pre-aging (p = 0.776), whereas post-aging, Panavia SA (PAN; Kuraray Dental Co Ltd., Osaka, Japan) showed significantly higher strength than RelyX U-200 (RU200; 3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany). The predominant failure mode was adhesive between the cement and dentin, followed by mixed mode failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of hydrofluoric acid (HF) vs self-etching ceramic primer on resin cement microshear bond strength (μSBS) and ultramorphology of lithium disilicate (LD) ceramic. METHODS AND MATERIALS: LD (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent) blocks (14×4×2 mm3) were polished to 1200 grit and assigned to nine groups (n=5): CON: control, no LD surface treatment; IVO: 5.0% HF (IPS Ceramic Etching Gel, Ivoclar Vivadent); VIT: 5.0% HF (Vita Ceramics Etch, VITA Zahnfabrik); FGM: 5.0% HF (Condac Porcelana, FGM); ULT: 9.0% HF (Porcelain Etch, Ultradent); PRM: 9.6% HF (Premier Porcelain Etch Gel, Premier); BIS: 9.5% HF (Porcelain Etchant, Bisco Inc); DEN: 10.0% HF (Condicionador de Porcelanas, Dentsply Brazil); and MEP: self-etching ceramic primer (Monobond Etch & Prime, Ivoclar Vivadent). For all HF groups and control, an MDP-containing silane solution (MB+, Monobond Plus, Ivoclar Vivadent) was applied on rinsing the HF gel and air drying. Three transparent matrices for each specimen were filled with light-cured resin cement (Variolink Veneer, Ivoclar Vivadent). After storage in water for 48 hours at 37°C, specimens were tested in shear mode to measure μSBS. Mode of failure was analyzed at 50×. Statistical analysis included one-way analysis of variance and the Duncan post hoc test (α=0.05). Thirty-six additional LD specimens were assigned to the same experimental groups (n=4) and observed under a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) at magnifications ranging from 10,000× to 100,000×. RESULTS: IVO resulted in statistically higher mean μSBS than all the other groups. MEP resulted in statistically lower μSBS than all HF groups. The failure mode for MEP was predominantly adhesive. The most frequent failure mode for the HF groups was mixed. CON resulted in 100% pretesting failures. For FESEM, no retentive pattern was observed for CON specimens. MEP resulted in the least pronounced etching pattern, few areas around crystals exhibited a slight increase in retention pattern compared to the control group. All HF gels created microporosities on the LD surface with distinct etching patterns. VIT and DEN resulted in an LD ultramorphology that suggested overetching. CONCLUSIONS: HF etching followed by a silane solution resulted in higher bond strengths than a self-etching ceramic primer. Some HF gels may cause overetching of the LD intaglio surface.
