Abstract
PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adhesive strategy and time on the microtensile bond strength of a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) composite to dentin.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
Sixty CAD/CAM composite blocks were bonded to human dentin with simplified bonding agents using etch-and-rinse and self-etching approaches and amine-based and amine-free resin cements, with and without the application of a dual-cure activator (DCA; n=10): SBP-ARC (Adper Single Bond Plus + RelyX ARC), SBP-RXU (Adper Single Bond Plus + RelyX Ultimate), SBP-DCA-RXU (Adper Single Bond Plus + DCA + RelyX Ultimate), SBU-ARC (Scotchbond Universal + RelyX ARC), SBU-RXU (Scotchbond Universal + RelyX Ultimate), and SBU-DCA-ARC (Scotchbond Universal + DCA + RelyX ARC). Each specimen was light cured for 40 seconds under load and stored in distilled water at 37°C for seven days. Stick-shaped specimens (1.0 mm2) were obtained. Half of the specimens underwent microtensile bond strength testing, and the other half were subjected to the same tests after six months of storage. Failure mode was determined using an optical microscope (40×). The data were analyzed by a two-way analysis of variance followed by the Games-Howell test and Student t-test (preset alpha of 0.05).
RESULTS
After seven days, SBU-RXU presented the highest mean bond strength, statistically different from only SBU-ARC (p<0.05). Most of the groups exhibited a statistically significant reduction in bond strength after 6 months (p<0.05), except SBP-RXU and SBU-ARC (p>0.05).
CONCLUSION
The adhesive strategy, with different associations between adhesive systems and resin cements, as well as the use of a DCA, affected the bond strength of both amine-free and amine-based resin cements to a CAD/CAM composite.
