Weimann D, Fleck C, Razi H. Marginal integrity in minimally invasive molar resin composite restorations: Impact of polymerization shrinkage. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 155:106554. [PMID: 38676971 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106554] [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: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study utilized non-linear finite element (FE) models to explore polymerization shrinkage and its impact on marginal integrity in molars following both selective caries removal (SCR) and conventional treatment. Specifically, we performed 2D in silico simulations to study residual stresses post-resin polymerization shrinkage and their influence on the marginal integrity of various restoration types. METHODS Initially, FE models were developed based on a cohesive zone framework to simulate crack propagation along the bonded interfaces between restoration and tooth structure in SCR-treated molars with class I and class II restorations. The modeled resin composite restorations first underwent polymerization shrinkage and were then subjected to various occlusal loading conditions. Stress magnitudes and distributions were identified to evaluate the margin integrity and predict the mechanism and location of interfacial failure. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The FE models computed polymerization shrinkage stresses of less than 1 MPa, exerting a minor influence on the composite/tooth interface. Occlusal loading, however, significantly impacted the load-bearing capacity of the composite/tooth (c/t) interface, potentially jeopardizing the restoration integrity. Especially under bi-axial occlusal loading, interfacial debonding occurred in the vertical cavity walls of the class I restorations, increasing the risk of failure. Notably, SCR-treated teeth exhibited better margin integrity than restored teeth after complete caries removal (NCR). These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanical behavior of SCR-treated teeth under different loading conditions and highlight the importance of considering the load scenarios that may lead to failure at the c/t interface. By investigating the factors influencing crack initiation and delamination, this novel research contributes to the optimization of restorative treatments and aids in the design of more resilient dental restorations.

Effect of Dentin Contamination with Hemostatic Agents and Cleaning Techniques on Bonding with Self-Adhesive Resin Cement. Med Sci Monit 2024; 30:e943353. [PMID: 38825814 PMCID: PMC11159572 DOI: 10.12659/msm.943353] [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: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dentin contamination with hemostatic agents before bonding indirect restorations negatively affects the bond strength. However, the consensus on which materials could be used to clean contamination of hemostatic agents has not been explored. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Katana Cleaner applied on the surface of dentin contaminated with hemostatic agents on the shear bond strength (SBS) of self-adhesive resin cement by comparing it with three other surface cleaners. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety dentin specimens were divided into a no contamination group (control) (n=10), 4 groups contaminated with 25% aluminum chloride (Viscostat Clear) (n=40), and 4 groups contaminated with 20% ferric sulfate (Viscostat) (n=40). Subsequently, 4 different cleaners were used for each contamination group (water rinse, phosphoric acid, chlorhexidine, and Katana Cleaner). Then, self-adhesive resin cement was directly bonded to the treated surfaces. All specimens were subjected to 5000 thermal cycles of artificial aging. The shear bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine. RESULTS Two-way analysis of variance showed that the contaminant type as the main factor was statistically non-significant (p=0.655), cleaner type as the main factor was highly significant (p<0.001), and interaction between the contaminant and cleaner was non-significant (p=0.51). The cleaner type was the main factor influencing the bond strength. Phosphoric acid and chlorhexidine showed better performance than Katana Cleaner. CONCLUSIONS Cleaning dentin surface contamination with phosphoric acid and chlorhexidine had better performance than with Katana Cleaner.

Dent Mater 2024; 40:993-1001. [PMID: 38729779 PMCID: PMC11176019 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2024.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acrylamides were shown to significantly improve bonding stability in adhesive restorations, but the reinforcement mechanism has not been fully elucidated. We tested the hypothesis that hydrogen bonding reinforcement of the collagen network (with secondary or tertiary acrylamides), as well as degree of crosslinking of the polymer network (with di- or tri-functional acrylamides), can be two of the factors at play. METHODS Two-step total etch adhesives comprising UDMA (60 wt%) and 40 wt% of: TAAEA, TMAAEA (secondary, tertiary tri-acrylamides), BAAP, DEBAAP (secondary, tertiary di-acrylamides) or HEMA (mono-methacrylate - control) were formulated. Simulated composite restorations (n = 5) were tested after cyclic mechanical and biological (S. mutans biofilm) challenges. Gap formation before and after aging was assessed with SEM imaging. Micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS, n = 6) was assessed after seven-day incubation in water or S. mutans-containing culture medium. Collagen reinforcement was assessed with hydroxyproline assay (n = 10) and rheology (n = 3). Data were analyzed with one-way/two-way ANOVA/Tukey's test (alpha=5%). RESULTS Gap formation increased and bond strength decreased for all monomers after biofilm incubation (p < 0.001). Except for DEBAAP, secondary and tertiary di/tri-acrylamides showed lower occlusal gap width values, but no significant differences overall gap length compared to HEMA. μTBS increased for tri-acrylamides compared with HEMA. Samples treated with multi-acrylamides had lower concentration of hydroxyproline (by-product of collagen degradation) (p < 0.001), except for DEBAAP, which showed values close to HEMA (p > 0.05). Dentin shear modulus increased for all acrylamides after 72 h, especially TMAAEA. SIGNIFICANCE In general, multi-acrylamides promote collagen reinforcement, leading to reduced gap formation, and stabilize the bond strength under physiological conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of bromelain and propolis extract on the bond strength (BS) of a universal adhesive system to eroded dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty human molars with exposed dentin were halved, with one half protected by composite resin and the other subjected to erosive treatment followed by remineralization. After the erosive treatment, the composite resin was removed, and the teeth were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 20): Adhesive-Control System; Br-10%; Pr-16%. Following the treatments, composite resin blocks were built on the dentin surfaces and sticks of 0.9 mm2 were obtained and stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 h and 6 months. After these periods, the sticks underwent bond strength testing and the data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA, Bonferroni test, p < 0.05. Fracture patterns were observed using light microscope and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS Irrespective of the substrate and aging duration, propolis demonstrated higher BS (p < 0.05) compared to the other treatments. Eroded dentin exhibited greater removal of the smear layer and dentinal tubules with a larger diameter than sound dentin, especially when treated with bromelain, resulting in the formation of resin tags. CONCLUSIONS Propolis consistently promoted the highest bond strength, irrespective of aging or substrate. Eroded dentin treated with propolis, or bromelain exhibited a higher prevalence of non-adhesive fractures and resin tag formation. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Propolis shows promise for enhancing the longevity of adhesive restorations in eroded dentin due to its ability to promote high bond strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of chitosan and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) on dentin surface morphology and bonding strength after irradiation of Er:YAG laser. METHODS Eighty-four laser-irradiated dentin samples were randomly distributed into three groups (n = 28/group) according to different surface conditioning process: deionized water for 60s; 1wt% chitosan for 60s; or 1wt% CMCS for 60s. Two specimens from each group were subjected to TEM analysis to confirm the presence of extrafibrillar demineralization on dentin fibrils. Two specimens from each group were subjected to morphological analysis by SEM. Seventy-two specimens (n = 24/group) were prepared, with a composite resin cone adhered to the dentin surface, and were then randomly assigned to one of two aging processes: storage in deionized water for 24 h or a thermocycling stimulation. The shear bond strength of laser-irradiated dentin to the resin composite was determined by a universal testing machine. Data acquired in the shear bond strength test was analyzed by one-way ANOVA with the Tukey honestly significant difference post hoc test and Independent Samples t-test (α = 0.05). RESULTS CMCS group presented demineralized zone and a relatively smooth dentin surface morphology. CMCS group had significantly higher SBS value (6.08 ± 2.12) without aging (p < 0.05). After thermal cycling, both chitosan (5.26 ± 2.30) and CMCS group (5.82 ± 1.90) presented higher bonding strength compared to control group (3.19 ± 1.32) (p < 0.05). Chitosan and CMCS group preserved the bonding strength after aging process (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS CMCS has the potential to be applied in conjunction with Er:YAG laser in cavity preparation and resin restoration.

Abstract
Tissue adhesion is one of the most common postoperative complications, which is frequently accompanied by inflammation, pain, and even dyskinesia, significantly reducing the quality of life of patients. Thus, to prevent the formation of tissue adhesions, various strategies have been explored. Among these methods, placing anti-adhesion membranes over the injured site to separate the wound from surrounding tissues is a simple and prominently favored method. Recently, electrospun nanofibers have been the most frequently investigated antiadhesive membranes due to their tunable porous structure and high porosities. They not only can act as an essential barrier and functional carrier system but also allow for high permeability and nutrient transport, showing great potential for preventing tissue adhesion. Herein, we provide a short review of the most recent applications of electrospun nanofibrous antiadhesive membranes in tendons, the abdominal cavity, dural sac, pericardium, and meninges. Firstly, each section highlights the most representative examples and they are sorted based on the latest progress of related research. Moreover, the design principles, preparation strategies, overall performances, and existing problems are highlighted and evaluated. Finally, the current challenges and several future ways to develop electrospun nanofibrous antiadhesive membranes are proposed. The systematic discussion and proposed directions can shed light on ideas and guide the reasonable design of electrospun nanofibrous membranes, contributing to the development of exceptional tissue anti-adhesive materials in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
Dentine adhesives have demonstrated great success with permanent teeth. Though the results in primary teeth are not well documented, some studies have demonstrated lower values of bond strength in primary teeth than those found in permanent teeth. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the effect of grape seed extract (6.5%) (Herbal Bio Solutions, Delhi, India), glutaraldehyde (5%) (Loba Chemie PVT. LTD., Mumbai), hesperidin (0.5%) (Herbal Bio Solutions, Delhi, India), and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (tooth mousse) (GC Corporation, Alsip, IL, USA) on the shear bond strength of dentine of primary teeth and to evaluate the resin tags at the resin tooth interface. Seventy-five caries-free human primary molars were collected, and their occlusal surfaces were ground flat. Dentin surfaces were etched using phosphoric acid. Then teeth were randomly assigned in sequential order to five groups according to the dentinal treatment method: Group I (Control group) (no treatment), Group II (5% glutaraldehyde), Group III (6.5% grape seed extract), Group IV (0.5% hesperidin), and Group V (CPP-ACP). Ten teeth from each group were assigned for Shear Bond Strength and five for SEM analysis. ANOVA and a post hoc least significant difference test (p < 0.05) were used for statistical analysis of the collected data. The grape seed extract group showed significantly increased shear bond strength than the control group (p < 0.05), and the mean length of resin tags in different dentine bio modifiers groups was also statistically significant (p < 0.05). The use of dentin bio modifiers such as 5% glutaraldehyde, 6.5% grape seed extract, 0.5% hesperidin, and CPP-ACP in the bonding process for primary teeth did not improve the dentinal bond strength.

Novel biomimetic peptide-loaded chitosan nanoparticles improve dentin bonding via promoting dentin remineralization and inhibiting endogenous matrix metalloproteinases. Dent Mater 2024; 40:160-172. [PMID: 37951748 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2023.11.003] [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: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to synthesize novel chitosan nanoparticles loaded with an amelogenin-derived peptide QP5 (TMC-QP5/NPs), investigate their remineralization capability and inhibitory effects on endogenous matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and evaluate the dentin bonding properties of remineralized dentin regulated by TMC-QP5/NPs. METHODS TMC-QP5/NPs were prepared by ionic crosslinking method and characterized by dynamic light scattering method, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, atomic force microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The encapsulation and loading efficiency of TMC-QP5/NPs and the release of QP5 were examined. To evaluate the remineralization capability of TMC-QP5/NPs, the mechanical properties, and the changes in structure and composition of differently conditioned dentin were characterized. The MMPs inhibitory effects of TMC-QP5/NPs were explored by MMP Activity Assay and in-situ zymography. The dentin bonding performance was detected by interfacial microleakage and microshear bond strength (μSBS). RESULTS TMC-QP5/NPs were successfully synthesized, with uniform size, good stability and biosafety. The encapsulation and loading efficiency of TMC-QP5/NPs was respectively 69.63 ± 2.22% and 13.21 ± 0.73%, with a sustained release of QP5. TMC-QP5/NPs could induce mineral deposits on demineralized collagen fibers and partial occlusion of dentin tubules, and recover the surface microhardness of dentin, showing better remineralization effects than QP5. Besides, TMC-QP5/NPs significantly inhibited the endogenous MMPs activity. The remineralized dentin induced by TMC-QP5/NPs exhibited less interfacial microleakage and higher μSBS, greatly improved dentin bonding. SIGNIFICANCE This novel peptide-loaded chitosan nanoparticles improved resin-dentin bonding by promoting dentin remineralization and inactivating MMPs, suggesting a promising strategy for optimizing dentin adhesive restorations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cross-linking and protective effect of artemisinin (ART), dihydroartemisinin (DHA), and artesunate (AST) on collagen fibers of demineralized dentin surface. METHODS Molecular docking was used to predict potential interactions of ART, DHA, and AST with dentin type I collagen. Human third molars without caries were completely demineralized and treated with different solutions for 1 min. The molecular interactions and cross-linking degree of ART and its derivatives with dentin collagen were evaluated by FTIR spectroscopy, total extractable protein content, and a ninhydrin assay. Scanning electron microscopy, hydroxyproline release, and ultimate microtensile strength tests (μUTS) were employed to confirm the mechanical properties and anti-collagenase degradation properties of dentin collagen fibers. RESULTS ART, DHA, and AST combined with dentin type I collagen mainly through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, and the cross-linking reaction sites were mainly C=O and CN functional groups. Compared to the control group, ART and its derivatives significantly increased the degree of cross-linking. Additionally, significant increases were observed in resistance to enzymatic digestion and mechanical properties of the artemisinin and its derivatives group. CONCLUSION ART, DHA, and AST could cross-link with demineralized dentin collagen, through improving the mechanical properties and anti-collagenase degradation properties. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The study endorses the potential use of ART and its derivatives as a prospective collagen cross-linking agent for degradation-resistant and long-period dentin bonding in composite resin restorations.

[PMID: 37804676 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106158] [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: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) as a biomodifier of eroded and abraded dentin. Forty dentin specimens were obtained from the buccal surface of bovine teeth. The specimens were randomly distributed in 4 groups according to dentin substrate: sound or eroded/abraded and dentin biomodification: with 0.5% EGCG and no biomodification (control group). Specimens were subdivided according to aging time: 24 h and 3 months for the analysis of microtensile bond strength (n = 10), morphology of the adhesive interface by SEM (n = 3) and dentin micropermeability by fluorescence microscope (n = 8). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS system version 20.0 with a significance level of 5%. The results revealed that the control group with eroded-abraded dentin exhibited the lowest bond strength values at 24 h and 3 months. However, the application of 0.5% EGCG as a biomodifier significantly increased bond strength on both sound and eroded-abraded substrates. After 3 months, all groups exhibited an adhesive interface with a more intense fluorescence in the adhesive layer, indicating an increase in porosity at the interface. In conclusion, the EGCG application as a biomodifier enhanced bond strength on both sound and eroded-abraded dentin substrates, however, adhesive interfaces are more regular when restorations are performed on sound dentin, regardless of the biomodification with EGCG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Skeletal dysplasia (SD) comprises more than 450 separate disorders. We hypothesized that their dental features would be distinctive and investigated the tooth characteristics of four patients with different SDs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four SD patients with molecularly confirmed diagnoses, Pt-1 acromicric dysplasia, Pt-2 hypophosphatasia and hypochondroplasia, Pt-3 cleidocranial dysplasia, and Pt-4 achondroplasia, were recruited. A tooth from each patient was evaluated for mineral density (micro-computerized tomography), surface roughness (surface profilometer), microhardness, mineral contents (energy-dispersive X-ray), and ultrastructure (scanning electron microscopy and histology), and compared with three tooth-type matched controls. RESULTS Pt-1 and Pt-3 had several unerupted teeth. Pt-2 had an intact-root-exfoliated tooth at 2 years old. The lingual surfaces of the patients' teeth were significantly smoother, while their buccal surfaces were rougher, than controls, except for Pt-1's buccal surface. The patients' teeth exhibited deep grooves around the enamel prisms and rough intertubular dentin. Pt-3 demonstrated a flat dentinoenamel junction and Pt-2 had an enlarged pulp, barely detectable cementum layer, and ill-defined cemento-dentinal junction. Reduced microhardnesses in enamel, dentin, and both layers were observed in Pt-3, Pt-4, and Pt-1, respectively. Pt-1 showed reduced Ca/P ratio in dentin, while both enamel and dentin of Pt-2 and Pt-3 showed reduced Ca/P ratio. CONCLUSION Each SD has distinctive dental characteristics with changes in surface roughness, ultrastructure, and mineral composition of dental hard tissues. CLINICAL RELEVANCE In this era of precision dentistry, identifying the specific potential dental problems for each patient with SD would help personalize dental management guidelines.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of phototherapy with an Er, Cr:YSGG laser on the bond strength of dentin using two different adhesive systems after chlorhexidine (CHX) application. Twenty-four non-carious human molar teeth were separated into three main groups: negative control Group A (Group A), CHX and phototherapy with an Er, Cr:YSGG laser (Group PC), and CHX with conventional diamond bur (no phototherapy) (Group C). These groups were divided into two subgroups based on adhesives: Clearfil Universal Quick Bond and Clearfil SE Bond. To evaluate the microtensile bond strength, the occlusal enamel surfaces of the teeth were removed with a low-speed, water-cooled diamond bur to expose hard dentin tissue. The teeth within Group PC were treated with Er, Cr:YSGG phototherapy. The surfaces were then disinfected with 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate. Subgroups were applied according to the manufacturer's instructions using the adhesive systems mentioned above. Following adhesive application, the teeth were restored with composite resin. A microtensile bond strength test was performed on the test sticks obtained from the teeth using a universal test device. Data were analyzed using variance analysis (ANOVA) at a significance level of p < 0.05. Among all groups, the highest bond strength was achieved with Clearfil SE Bond with CHX + phototherapy (45.6 ± 4.2), while the lowest was achieved with Clearfil Universal Quick Bond without phototherapy (control group) (27.0 ± 6.7) (p < 0.05). Phototherapy with Er, Cr: YSGG following chlorhexidine application enhanced the bond strength of both the bond systems (p < 0.05).

Abstract
The creation of buffer (hybrid) layers that provide improved adhesion to two heterogeneous materials is a promising and high-priority research area in the field of dental materials science. In our work, using FTIR and Raman microspectroscopy at the submicron level in a system of dental composites/intact dental enamel, we assessed the molecular features of formation and chemically visualized the hybrid interface formed on the basis of a nature-like adhesive, polydopamine (PDA). It is shown that a homogeneous bioinspired PDA-hybrid interface with an increased content of O-Ca-O bonds can be created using traditional methods of dental tissue pretreatment (diamond micro drilling, acid etching), as well as the subsequent alkalinization procedure and the developed synthesis technology. The development of the proposed technology for accelerated deposition of PDA-hybrid layers, as well as the creation of self-assembled biomimetic nanocomposites with antibacterial properties, may in the future find clinical application for minimally invasive dental restoration procedures.

Abstract
Background Greater degradation of the hybrid layer is expected when a universal adhesive system is used, especially in the conventional application strategy. Therefore, it would important to evaluate the effect of the ethanol (ETH) and a potential matrix protease inhibitor (caffeic acid phenethyl ester/ CAPE) to maximize the ability to achieve stable dentin bond strength. The aim of this study was to evaluated the effect of ETH on a wet-bonding technique, and dentin pretreatments with different concentrations of CAPE in ethanolic solution, followed by application of a universal adhesive system (Single Bond Universal) to inhibit proteolytic activity. Material and Methods Dentin blocks were allocated to eight experimental groups according to the strategy (total-etch our self-etch) and treatments: ETH, or dentin pretreatment with CAPE (at 0.5%, 2.5%; and 5.0%). Half of each block (each hemiblock) served as the control (without dentin pretreatments) for the same group. The bonding strategy was performed (adhesive system/ restoration with composite resin). Two slices were obtained from each hemiblock and evaluated using in situ zymography. The proteolytic activity was analyzed by quantifying the green photons of the images obtained under a fluorescence microscope in three dentin locations close to the dentin-resin interface: hybrid layer (HL), underlying dentin (UD) and deep dentin (DD). Results Wilcoxon tests (for comparison between experimental and control groups) and Friedman and Nemenyi tests (for comparisons between interface locations) showed that there was no difference between the groups with different CAPE concentrations and the respective control groups (p>0.05). ETH reduced the proteolytic activity at the HL and UD (p<0.05). Conclusions The wet-bonding technique with ETH proved effective in reducing the proteolytic activity. The use of CAPE in different concentrations solubilized in ethanol did not have a favorable effect on proteolytic inhibition. Key words:Adhesives, Hybrid layer, Dentin, Metalloproteinases.

Abstract
Damage in the bonding interface is a significant factor that leads to premature failure of dental bonded restorations. The imperfectly bonded dentin-adhesive interface is susceptible to hydrolytic degradation and bacterial and enzyme attack, severely jeopardizing restorations' longevity. Developing caries around previously made restorations, also called "recurrent or secondary caries," is a significant health problem. The replacement of restorations is the most prevailing treatment in dental clinics, leading to the so-called "tooth death spiral". In other words, every time a restoration is replaced, more tooth tissue is removed, increasing the size of the restorations until the tooth is eventually lost. This process leads to high financial costs and detriment to patients' quality of life. Since the complexity of the oral cavity makes prevention a challenging task, novel strategies in Dental Materials and Operative fields are required. This article briefly overviews the physiological dentin substrate, features of dentin bonding, challenges and clinical relevance. We discussed the anatomy of the dental bonding interface, aspects of the degradation at the resin-dentin interface, extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting dental bonding longevity, perspectives on resin and collagen degradation and how these subjects are connected. In this narrative review, we also outlined the recent progress in overcoming dental bonding challenges through bioinspiration, nanotechnology and advanced techniques to reduce degradation and improve dental bonding longevity.

Abstract
Overcoming the short lifespan of current dental adhesives remains a significant clinical need. Adhesives rely on formation of the hybrid layer to adhere to dentin and penetrate within collagen fibrils. However, the ability of adhesives to achieve complete enclosure of demineralized collagen fibrils is recognized as currently unattainable. We developed a peptide-based approach enabling collagen intrafibrillar mineralization and tested our hypothesis on a type-I collagen-based platform. Peptide design incorporated collagen-binding and remineralization-mediating properties using the domain structure conservation approach. The structural changes from representative members of different peptide clusters were generated for each functional domain. Common signatures associated with secondary structure features and the related changes in the functional domain were investigated by attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, respectively. Assembly and remineralization properties of the peptides on the collagen platforms were studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Mechanical properties of the collagen fibrils remineralized by the peptide assemblies was studied using PeakForce-Quantitative Nanomechanics (PF-QNM)-AFM. The engineered peptide was demonstrated to offer a promising route for collagen intrafibrillar remineralization. This approach offers a collagen platform to develop multifunctional strategies that combine different bioactive peptides, polymerizable peptide monomers, and adhesive formulations as steps towards improving the long-term prospects of composite resins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefits of a novel dentin-bonding primer, namely, isocyanate-terminated urethane methacrylate precursor (UMP), which can form covalent bonds with demineralized dentin collagen. METHODS The synthesized and purified UMP monomer was characterized and tested its effects on the degree of conversion (DC) and wettability of an acetone-based dental adhesive. Then UMP primers of different concentrations were formulated and used to prepare adhesive specimens, which were compared with solvent-treated groups. Primer-treated specimens with and without aging were also compared. To evaluate the bonding interface, microtensile strength tests, nano-indentation tests and nanoleakage- eavaluation were performed using a field-emission scanning electron microscope and nano-indenter. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software with significance set at α = 0.05 using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and two-way ANOVA to characterize the effects of the primer. RESULTS Treatment with the UMP primer promoted the DC and wettability of the adhesive on the demineralized dentin surface (P < 0.05); it also increased the bond strength of the aged dentin bonding interface (P < 0.05). Nanoleakage was reduced; the bonding interface became more stable, and the continuity and strength of the hybrid layer improved (P < 0.05) following UMP treatment. The application of 5 mM UMP as a primer for dentin bonding could lead to a stable bonding interface and long-lasting bonding effects. SIGNIFICANCE The use of 5 mM UMP primer developed in this study could improve dentin bonding durability and has excellent clinical application prospects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed to collect and interpret the randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that investigated the outcome of the self-adhesive luting resins (SA) compared to total-etch (TE), selective etch with dentin adhesives (Sle), selective etch without dentin adhesives (SleSA) or self-etch adhesives (SE). DATA SOURCES A thorough search of Internet databases was conducted without language restrictions, and the search ran up to and including April 2022. The illegible records citations were checked for more relevant clinical studies. STUDY SELECTION/RESULTS The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared self-adhesive luting resins with total-etch, selective-etch, or self-etch adhesives regarding postoperative sensitivity, incidences of debonding, and survival rates of indirect restorations. From 1732 records, 9 RCTs met the eligibility criteria. Three RCTs compared total-etch adhesive to self-adhesive luting resin for intracoronal restorations, one RCT compared selective etch to self-adhesive luting resin for inlays, and 5 RCTs compared self-adhesive to other protocols for partial ceramic crowns. Postoperative sensitivity showed a non-statistically significant difference between SA and other adhesive protocols, SA revealed a non-statistically significant difference in debonding and survival to TE, but a lower statistically significant difference to Sle, SleSA, and SE. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative sensitivity might not be affected by the adhesive protocol. In relatively short observation, TE revealed comparable survival to SA for intracoronal restorations. SE and Sle exhibited the best clinical outcomes, followed by SleSA. Selective etch, and self-etch adhesives are preferable to self-adhesive resins. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The significance of enamel etching and the superiority of self-etching adhesives over self-adhesive luting resins for reliable and durable bonding and improved clinical outcomes. However, long-term RCTs, particularly for total-etch comparison to self-adhesive luting resins, might be recommended to derive further evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to value the long-term antibacterial capability and adhesive properties of one-step self-etching dental adhesive containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized in situ. METHODS One-step self-etching adhesives with various weight percentages of silver 2-ethylhezanoate (0%, 0.05%, 0.10%, and 0.20%) were obtained by in-situ synthesis; the sizes and distribution of the AgNPs in resin were observed. The antibacterial effects of dentin-resin specimens were assessed by various test methods after being aged for 1 week to 1 year. The microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and interfacial nanoleakage (NL) were evaluated using extracted human teeth after being aged for 1 day and 1 year. RESULTS Uniform distribution of AgNPs in resin was observed in all experimental groups, and the average size was 4.71 nm-4.81 nm. All groups containing AgNPs showed significant antibacterial differences from the control group (P<0.05) over the ageing of 1 year. Although the increase of concentration tended to improve antibacterial activity, significant differences were not observed between the 0.10% and 0.20% groups (P>0.05). No significant differences were observed between all experimental groups and the control group in μTBS testing and NL testing at 1-day and 1-year time points (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS 0.10% AgNPs synthesized in situ might be appropriate to impart a long-term antibacterial ability to the one-step self-etching adhesive, without affecting its adhesive performance. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study suggests that in-situ synthesis of AgNPs is an effective method to improve the antibacterial ability of dental adhesives with the potential to inhibit secondary caries.

Abstract
Dentin bonding is the most common form of human tissue repair among tissue-biomaterial adhesions, concerning billions of people's oral health worldwide. However, insufficient adhesive infiltration in the demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) always produces numerous defects in the bonding interface termed the hybrid layer, which causes high levels of bacteria-related secondary dental diseases, and less than 50% of the bonding lasts more than 5 years. Therefore, it is urgent and vital to construct an antibacterial low-defect hybrid layer to solve the durability-related problems. A DDM with a hydrogel-like surface formed by the hydration of highly-anionic non-collagenous proteins (NCPs) is firstly used as a template to electrostatically assemble polyethyleneimine (PEI). The formation of a stable antibacterial polyelectrolyte complex of PEI/NCPs rapidly eliminates NCP hydration capacity and significantly improves the infiltration of various adhesives. Simultaneously, both the PEI during the assembly and the PEI-assembled DDM can directly destroy a biofilm of S. Mutans on the DDM. Consequently, a long-term antibacterial and low-defect hybrid layer is successfully created, which greatly improves the bonding effectiveness. This helps to improve the clinical treatment of bacteria-based dental diseases and the tooth-restoration repair effect and prevent secondary dental diseases, having significance in clinical dentistry and providing insights for other tissue-biomaterial adhesions.

Effects of Er: YAG, Er,Cr: YSGG, and Nd: YAG laser irradiation and adhesive systems on the immediate and long-term bond strength of dentin: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Lasers Med Sci 2023; 38:32.

Abstract
At present, lasers are increasingly used in the oral clinical field, and research and applications in dental hard tissue treatment are also increasing. The effect of laser etching dentin on the bonding strength of composite resin reported in the literature is still inconclusive. The purpose of this review was to evaluate whether laser etching can improve the immediate and long-term bonding strength of dentin and investigate the effect of different types of adhesives on the bonding strength of dentin. Two reviewers performed a literature search up from January 2012 to November 2021 in four databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. A total of 25 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The Cochrane Collaboration Bias Risk Assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature, and an analysis was carried out using Review Manager Software version 5.3. The aging bond strength of dentin after erbium (Er): yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser treatment was significantly lower than that of dentin in the bur group (P < 0.00001). At the same time, the bond strength of dentin immediately and aging after (Er), chromium-doped (Cr): yttrium scandium gallium garnet (YSGG) laser treatment was lower than that of dentin in the bur group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the immediate and aging bonding strength among samples in the Er: YAG laser, Er, Cr: YSGG laser, and blank control groups (no laser or bur). The aging bond strength of samples after neodymium-doped (Nd): YAG laser treatment was higher than that of samples in the blank control group (P < 0.05); in addition, the performance of self-etching adhesive was slightly better than that of acid etching adhesive. Regardless of the applied surface treatment and the adhesive employed, dentin after aging showed significant bond degradation (P < 0.05). There was high heterogeneity of bond strength between different groups, and the small number of studies and the contradictory results may be the main reasons for this outcome.

Abstract
Background Incomplete monomer infiltration into the etched dentin causes postoperative sensitivity (POS) with total-etch adhesives. Increasing the temperature of the air to dry the adhesive has shown to improve its infiltration into the dentin. Aims The aim of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of dry air temperatures of 15°C ± 5°C and 50°C ± 5°C on the POS, depth of penetration, and bond strength of an ethanol/water-based etch-and-rinse (ER) adhesive under in vivo and in vitro conditions. Methods Forty-four premolars from 11 patients scheduled for orthodontic extraction were allocated into cold air (Group 1) and warm air (Group 2) groups using a split-mouth design. A 2 mm × 2 mm × 2 mm cavity was prepared on the middle third of the buccal surface of the teeth, acid etched, and two coats of an ethanol/water-based adhesive resin mixed with 0.1% rhodamine B was applied for 10 s. A dental air gun customized to deliver warm and cold air was used to dry the adhesive prior to its light polymerization. The cavities were restored with resin composite incrementally. POS was assessed using visual analog scale at 24 and 72 h using cold test. The teeth were atraumatically extracted and analyzed for depth of adhesive penetration using confocal laser scanning microscope (n = 11) and push-out bond strength (n = 11). Statistical Analysis Used The data were analyzed using sample t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test (P < 0.05). Results A significantly lower POS and greater adhesive penetration into the dentin was observed in the warm air group compared to cold air (P < 0.05). No significant difference could be elicited between the push-out bond strength of both the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Warm air alleviated POS and improved the penetration of an ethanol/water-based ER adhesive into the dentin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at including 2.5 wt.% of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and graphene oxide NPs (GNPs) in a control adhesive (CA) and then investigate the effect of this inclusion on their mechanical properties and its adhesion to root dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) mapping were conducted to investigate the structural features and elemental distribution of CNPs and GNPs, respectively. These NPs were further characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The adhesives were characterized by evaluating their push-out bond strength (PBS), rheological properties, degree of conversion (DC) investigation, and failure type analysis. RESULTS The SEM micrographs revealed that the CNPs were irregular and hexagonal, whereas the GNPs were flake-shaped. EDX analysis showed that carbon (C), oxygen (O), and zirconia (Zr) were found in the CNPs, while the GNPs were composed of C and O. The Raman spectra for CNPs and GNPs revealed their characteristic bands (CNPs-D band: 1334 cm-1, GNPs-D band: 1341 cm-1, CNPs-G band: 1650 cm-1, and GNPs-G band: 1607 cm-1). The testing verified that the highest bond strength to root dentin were detected for GNP-reinforced adhesive (33.20 ± 3.55 MPa), trailed closely by CNP-reinforced adhesive (30.48 ± 3.10 MPa), while, the CA displayed lowest values (25.11 ± 3.60 MPa). The inter-group comparisons of the NP-reinforced adhesives with the CA revealed statistically significant results (p < 0.01). Failures of adhesive nature were most common in within the adhesives and root dentin. The rheological assessment results demonstrated a reduced viscosity for all the adhesives observed at advanced angular frequencies. All the adhesives verified suitable dentin interaction shown by hybrid layer and appropriate resin tag development. A reduced DC was perceived for both NP-reinforced adhesives, compared to the CA. CONCLUSION The present study's findings have demonstrated that 2.5% GNP adhesive revealed the highest, suitable root dentin interaction, and acceptable rheological properties. Nevertheless, a reduced DC was observed (matched with the CA). Prospective studies probing the influence of diverse concentrations of filler NPs on the adhesive's mechanical properties to root dentin are recommended.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of aging and cementation of fiber posts using glass ionomer and resin cements on push-out bond strength, failure mode, and resin tag formation. One hundred and twenty bovine incisors were used. After post-space preparation, the specimens were randomly allocated into 12 groups (n = 10) according to the cementation system used: GC - GC Gold Label Luting & Lining); RL - RelyX Luting 2; MC - MaxCem Elite; RU - RelyX U200 and the aging periods (24 hours, 6 months, and 12 months). Slices from the cervical, middle, and apical thirds were obtained and analyzed by push-out bond strength test and confocal laser scanning microscopy. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test was used at a significance level of 5%. For the push-out bond strength test, no differences among GC, RU, and MC in the cervical and middle thirds were observed, regardless of the period of storage (P > 0.05). In the apical third, GC and RU showed similar bond strength but higher than other groups (P > 0.05). After 12 months, GC showed the highest bond strength (P < 0.05). Bond strength to post-space dentin decreased over time, regardless of the cementation system used. Cohesive failure was the most frequent, regardless of the period of storage, cementation system, and post-space third. Tag formation was similar among all groups. After 12 months, GC showed the highest bond strength values.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Presently on a global scale, one of the major concerns is to find effective strategies to manage the agricultural waste to protect the environment. One strategy that has been drawing attention among the researchers is the development of biocompatible materials from agricultural waste. This strategy implies successful conversion of agricultural waste products (e.g.: cellulose, eggshell etc.) into building blocks for biomaterial development. Some of these wastes contain even bioactive compounds having biomedical applications. The replacement and augmentation of human tissue with biomaterials as alternative to traditional method not only bypasses immune-rejection, donor scarcity, and maintenance; but also provides long term solution to damaged or malfunctioning organs. Biomaterials development as one of the key challenges in tissue engineering approach, resourced from natural origin imparts better biocompatibility due to closely mimicking composition with cellular microenvironment. The "Garbage In, Biomaterials Out (GIBO)" concept, not only recycles the agricultural wastes, but also adds to biomaterial raw products for further product development in tissue regeneration. This paper reviews the conversion of garbage agricultural by-products to the biocompatible materials for various biomedical applications. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT The agro-waste biomass processed, purified, modified, and further utilized for the fabrication of biomaterials-based support system for tissue engineering applications to grow living body parts in vitro or in vivo.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess whether degradation-resistant monomers included in experimental dental adhesives can improve long-term bond strength compared to conventional monomers. This study followed the latest PRISMA guidance (2020). The search for the systematic review was carried out in four electronic databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, SciELO and EMBASE, without restrictions on the year of publication and language. The last screening was conducted in July 2022. Interventions included were in vitro studies on experimental dental adhesives that tested short-term and long-term bond strength, but also water sorption and solubility data when available, in extracted human molars. Meta-analyses were performed using Rstudio v1.4.1106. A summary table analyzing the individual risk of bias was generated using the recent RoBDEMAT tool. Of the 177 potentially eligible studies, a total of 7 studies were included. Experimental monomers with acrylamides or methacrylamide−acrylamide hybrids in their composition showed better results of aged bond strength when compared to methacrylate controls (p < 0.05). The experimental monomers found better sorption and solubility compared to controls and were significantly different (p < 0.001). It is possible to achieve hydrolytically resistant formulations by adding novel experimental monomers, with chemical structures that bring benefit to degradation mechanisms.

Current Strategies to Control Recurrent and Residual Caries with Resin Composite Restorations: Operator- and Material-Related Factors. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11216591. [PMID: 36362817 PMCID: PMC9657252 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11216591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
This review addresses the rationale of recurrent and/or residual caries associated with resin composite restorations alongside current strategies and evidence-based recommendations to arrest residual caries and restrain recurrent caries. The PubMed and MEDLINE databases were searched for composite-associated recurrent/residual caries focusing on predisposing factors related to materials and operator’s skills; patient-related factors were out of scope. Recurrent caries and fractures are the main reasons for the failure of resin composites. Recurrent and residual caries are evaluated differently with no exact distinguishment, especially for wall lesions. Recurrent caries correlates to patient factors, the operator’s skills of cavity preparation, and material selection and insertion. Material-related factors are significant. Strong evidence validates the minimally invasive management of deep caries, with concerns regarding residual infected dentin. Promising technologies promote resin composites with antibacterial and remineralizing potentials. Insertion techniques influence adaptation, marginal seal, and proximal contact tightness. A reliable diagnostic method for recurrent or residual caries is urgently required. Ongoing endeavors cannot eliminate recurrent caries or precisely validate residual caries. The operator’s responsibility to precisely diagnose original caries and remaining tooth structure, consider oral environmental conditions, accurately prepare cavities, and select and apply restorative materials are integral aspects. Recurrent caries around composites requires a triad of attention where the operator’s skills are cornerstones.

J Dent 2022; 126:104285. [PMID: 36089222 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2022.104285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the adhesive-dentin interface stability of primary teeth would be enhanced by epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) with ethanol wet-bonding. METHODS Non-caries primary molars were sliced to achieve a flat dentin surface and etched then randomly distributed into five groups in accordance with different treatments: group 1, no treatment; group 2, applying absolute ethanol wet-bonding for 60 s; groups 3-5, applying 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% (w/v) EGCG-incorporating ethanol wet-bonding (0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% EGCG) for 60 s. Singlebond universal adhesive was then applied followed by resin composite construction. Microtensile bond strength, fracture mode, and nanoleakage at adhesive-dentin interface were evaluated after 24 h of water storage or 10,000 times of thermocycling. Zymography of hybrid layer, biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans by CLSM, FESEM, and MTT test, and cytotoxicity by CCK-8 assay were respectively assessed. RESULTS Irrespective of thermocycling, the dentin bond strength was preserved with reduced nanoleakage in the 0.5% and 1% EGCG groups. Furthermore, the activity of endogenous proteases and the growth of Streptococcus mutans biofilm were inhibited after treatment with 0.5% and 1% EGCG/ethanol solutions (groups 4 and 5). CCK-8 results of the 0.1% and 0.5% EGCG groups showed acceptable biocompatibility. CONCLUSIONS Treatment by EGCG/ethanol solutions effectively enhanced the bond stability of primary teeth at the adhesive-dentin interface. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Synergistic application of EGCG and ethanol wet-bonding suggesting a promising strategy to improve dentin bonding durability with bacterial biofilm inhibition, thus increasing resin-based restorations' service life in primary dentition.

Braz Dent J 2022; 33:86-93. [PMID: 36477969 PMCID: PMC9733368 DOI: 10.1590/0103-6440202204870] [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: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Thisstudy aimed to evaluate the effect of the electric current direction application on the resin composite-dentin bond strength using three adhesive systems. Human molar teeth were distributed according to the adhesive system (two-step self-etch - Clearfil SE Bond, Kuraray [CSE]; one-step self-etch - Single Bond Universal, 3M ESPE [SBU]; and two-step etch-and-rinse - Adper Single Bond 2, 3M ESPE [SB2]), electric current direction (without electric current - control, direct and reverse electric currents - 35µA), and storage time (24h - immediate and 6 months). Resin composite blocks (Filtek Z350XT, 3M ESPE) were bonded to dentin. The teeth/resin composites specimens were stored in distilled water at 37ºC for 24 hours and 6 months for the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) test (n = 10; ~12 sticks for each tooth). Failure patterns were analyzed on a stereomicroscope and classified as cohesive-dentin, cohesive-resin, adhesive or mixed. Adhesive penetration into dentin and hybrid layer formation were evaluated in a scanning electron microscope (n = 6). Data were submitted to a three-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test (α = 0.05). There are no differences in µTBS when the adhesive systems were applied under direct and reverse electric currents, but both electric currents increased the µTBS for all adhesive systems. SBU showed the lowest µTBS values for control groups in both storage times and direct electric current in 6 months of storage. The adhesive failure pattern was more frequently observed in all groups. The electric current formed long resin tags for all adhesive systems. Storage for 6 months did not significantly decrease µTBS values. Both directions of electric current (positive and negative charges) at 35µA can increase the µTBS of the adhesive systems tested to dentin.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine the applicability of bioactive and antibacterial nanoparticles to an experimental adhesive. The adhesive (60 wt% BisGMA, 15 wt% TEGDMA, 25 wt% HEMA) was mixed with combinations of 5 wt% methacryl-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (MA-POSS) and one kind of bioactive/antibacterial nanoparticles: 1 wt% core-shell silica-silver nanoparticle (SiO2@Ag), 1 wt% bioactive glass with bismuth (BAG-Bi) or 1 wt% calcium phosphate (CAP). Pure adhesive served as control. The physicochemical (degree of conversion (DC), linear shrinkage (LS), shear and complex viscosity, water sorption (WS), sol fraction (SF)), biological (antimicrobial effect) and bioactive (mineral precipitation) properties were investigated. DC and LS remained unchanged. The combination of BAG-Bi/MA-POSS resulted in a significantly increased WS and SF compared to control. In addition, the combination of CAP/MA-POSS slightly increased the shear viscosity of the adhesive. The addition of the nanoparticles did not influence the antimicrobial effects compared to the pure adhesive. Improved mineral inducing capacity could be detected in all nanoparticle combinations. The combination of bioactive and/or antibacterial nanoparticles showed improved mineral inducing capacity, but no antibacterial properties. The material properties were not or only slightly affected.

Abstract
Background Adhesive monomers are not able to fully encapsulate collagen fibrils in hybrid layer leaving them vulnerable to time-dependent hydrolytic degradation. The current in vitro study was designed for investigation of the remineralization of the resin-dentin hybrid layer using biomimetic analogs by nanoleakage investigation. Material and Methods Firstly, occlusal enamel of thirty human molars was removed exposing flat surface of dentin, then randomly divided into three main groups according to the different remineralizing protocols (n=10) (R): control group (R0), STMP group (R1), and biomimetic remineralizing group (R2). The dentin surface of the STMP and biomimetic remineralizing groups (R1 and R2) was treated with STMP solution, followed by self-etch adhesive application on dentin surface of all groups, and restored with double 2-mm thick layers of resin composite. Each tooth was sectioned perpendicularly to the resin-dentin interface for producing 1-mm thick slaps. Each group was subdivided into four subgroups according to the incubation time to 24 hours, one month, three months, and 4 months. Retrieved slabs were prepared for nanoleakage for evaluation of metallic silver particles distribution percentage at the resin-dentin interface using digital image analysis software. Results There was a statistically significant increase in nanoleakage over time in all three groups. However, the third group showed the least increase in metallic silver uptake over time. Conclusions Hybrid layer could be remineralized by using dual-biomimetic analogs (PAA and STMP). Key words:Hybrid layer, remineralization, nanoleakage, polyacrylic acid, sodium trimetaphosphate.

Biodegradation of Dental Resin-Based Composite—A Potential Factor Affecting the Bonding Effect: A Narrative Review. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10092313.

Abstract
In recent years, although resin composite has played an important role in the restoration of tooth defects, it still has several disadvantages, including being biodegraded by saliva, bacteria and other enzymes in the oral cavity, which may result in repair failure. This factor is not conducive to the long-term survival of the prosthesis in the mouth. In this article, we review the causes, influencing factors and prevention methods of resin biodegradation. Biodegradation is mainly caused by esterase in saliva and bacteria, which breaks the ester bond in resin and causes the release of monomers. The mechanical properties of the prosthesis can then be affected. Meanwhile, cathepsin and MMPs are activated on the bonding surface, which may decompose the dentin collagen. In addition, neutrophils and residual water on the bonding surface can also aggravate biodegradation. Currently, the primary methods to prevent biodegradation involve adding antibacterial agents to resin, inhibiting the activity of MMPs and enhancing the crosslinking of collagen fibers. All of the above indicates that in the preparation and adhesion of resin materials, attention should be paid to the influence of biodegradation to improve the prosthesis’s service life in the complex environment of the oral cavity.

Degradation and Stabilization of Resin-Dentine Interfaces in Polymeric Dental Adhesives: An Updated Review. COATINGS 2022.

Abstract
Instability of the dentine-resin interface is owed to the partial/incomplete penetration of the resin adhesives in the collagen fibrils. However, interfacial hydrolysis of the resin-matrix hybrid layer complex activates the collagenolytic and esterase enzymes that cause the degradation of the hybrid layer. Adequate hybridization is often prevented due to the water trapped between the interfibrillar spaces of the collagen network. Cyclic fatigue rupture and denaturation of the exposed collagen fibrils have been observed on repeated application of masticatory forces. To prevent interfacial microstructure, various approaches have been explored. Techniques that stabilize the resin–dentine bond have utilized endogenous proteases inhibitors, cross linking agents’ incorporation in the exposed collagen fibrils, an adhesive system free of water, and methods to increase the monomer penetration into the adhesives interface. Therefore, it is important to discover and analyze the causes of interfacial degradation and discover methods to stabilize the hybrid layer to execute new technique and materials. To achieve a predictable and durable adhesive resin, restoration is a solution to the many clinical problems arising due to microleakage, loss of integrity of the restoration, secondary caries, and postoperative sensitivity. To enhance the longevity of the resin-dentine bond strength, several experimental strategies have been carried out to improve the resistance to enzymatic degradation by inhibiting intrinsic collagenolytic activity. In addition, biomimetic remineralization research has advanced considerably to contemporary approaches of both intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar remineralization of dental hard tissues. Thus, in the presence of biomimetic analog complete remineralization of collagen, fibers are identified.

The First Step in Standardizing an Artificial Aging Protocol for Dental Composites—Evaluation of Basic Protocols. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27113511.

Abstract
The clinical performance of a dental restoration is strongly influenced by the complex and dynamically-changing oral environment; however, no standard procedure exists to evaluate this lifetime. This research provides an in-depth analysis of the effect of different aging procedures on the flexural strength (FS), diametral tensile strength (DTS) and hardness (HV) of selected dental materials (Resin F, Flow-Art and Arkon). Material structure was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that each aging protocol had some influence on the tested properties, with continual erosion and degradation being observed. Greater mechanical degradation was observed for Resin F (neat resin) after the applied aging protocols, suggesting that a resin matrix is more susceptible for degradation. The most aggressive aging protocol was Protocol 5: 0.1 M NaOH, seven days, 60 °C. Further studies on the effect of artificial aging on dental materials should include a study of the thermal and chemical factors. A standardized aging procedure is crucial for improving the resistance of dental resin composite to oral conditions and their clinical performance.

Improving Properties of an Experimental Universal Adhesive by Adding a Multifunctional Dendrimer (G-IEMA): Bond Strength and Nanoleakage Evaluation. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14071462. [PMID: 35406335 PMCID: PMC9002522 DOI: 10.3390/polym14071462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
A vast number of adhesive formulations exist currently. However, available adhesives still have several drawbacks such as increased hydrophilicity, polymerization deficiency, potential cytotoxicity and limited monomer interdiffusion within dentin. To improve material properties, a Bisphenol A-free adhesive containing a novel dendrimer G(2)-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate (G-IEMA) in replacement of Bis-GMA was made and tested. Sound human molars were sectioned to expose mid-coronal dentin, which was bonded using four adhesives—Futurabond, Scotchbond Universal and experimentals EM1 and EM2. The experimental adhesive EM2 contained G-IEMA, while EM1 had Bis-GMA. Groups were further allocated to two different adhesive strategies: etch-and-rinse (20 s etching) or self-etch. Immediate (24 h) microtensile bond strength to dentin (n = 5) was tested using a universal testing machine (1 mm/min, 5 kN; Shimadzu AGS-X Autograph, Tokyo, Japan), while the ultrastructure of the interface (n = 2) was assessed using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Nanoleakage expression was evaluated using silver nitrate penetration and posterior SEM-EDS analysis (n = 3). Linear mixed models/Generalized models were used for inferential statistics (5% significance level). Bond strength results did not depend on the adhesive choice, although differences were found between strategies (p < 0.001). Regarding nanoleakage, when applied in an etch-and-rinse mode, experimental adhesives scored lower nanoleakage means than Futurabond and Scotchbond Universal. The novel adhesive shows interesting interfacial properties, with favorable nanoleakage results and a bond strength to dentin that matches current commercial adhesives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES An atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to analyze the changes in organic matter in human dentin and the effects of laser irradiation with different energy densities on the surface micro-nanostructures of human dentin. METHODS Extracted human third molars were used in this study. Human dentin were scanned with an Er, Cr:YSGG laser (6.18, 8.04, 9.89, 11.1 J·cm-2). The 12 samples were randomly allocated. AFM phase imaging technology and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were applied to detect the proportional changes in the organic components on the dentine surface before and after Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation. AFM was capable of observing the morphological changes of the dentine surface and hydroxyapatite crystals before and after Er, Cr:YSGG laser irradiation. RESULTS After laser irradiation, the proportion of collagen with low contrast in the phase images remarkably reduced. Accordingly, the proportion of the inorganic phase significantly increased. EDS results showed that dentine was composed of Ca, P, O, and C and some trace elements of Na, Mg and Cl. After Er, Cr:YSGG laser irradiation, the C, O, and Na contents and C/Ca ratio declined significantly (P<0.05), whereas the Ca and P contents and the Ca/P ratio obviously increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Irradiating human dentine with an Er, Cr:YSGG laser at varying energy densities from 6.18 to 11.1 J·cm-2 did not significantly influence the inorganic phase structure of the surface dentine layer. However, thermal ablation occurred in the organic component.

Abstract
A conservative approach for restoring deep proximal lesions is to apply an increment of composite resin over the preexisting cervical margin to relocate it coronally, the so-called “deep margin elevation” (DME). A literature search for research articles referring to DME published from January 1998 until November 2021 was conducted using MEDLINE (PubMed), Ovid, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Semantic Scholar databases applying preset inclusion and exclusion criteria. Elevation material and adhesive system employed for luting seem to be significant factors concerning the marginal adaptation of the restoration. This technique does not affect bond strength, fatigue behavior, fracture resistance, failure pattern or repairability. DME and subgingival restorations are compatible with periodontal health, given that they are well-polished and refined. The available literature is limited mainly to in vitro studies. Therefore, randomized clinical trials with extended follow-up periods are necessary to clarify all aspects of the technique and ascertain its validity in clinical practice. For the time being, DME should be applied with caution respecting three criteria: capability of field isolation, the perfect seal of the cervical margin provided by the matrix, and no invasion of the connective compartment of biological width.

Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the tensile bond strength (TBS) of dental composite resin bonding to enamel and dentin of extracted human teeth. Thirty caries-free human premolar teeth (10 from type 1 DM (D1), 10 from type 2 DM (D2), and 10 from non-diabetic individuals (control)) were wet ground and polished to obtain flat surfaces of dentin (n = 10). 37% phosphoric acid was used to etch dentin specimens for 15 s. After the application of the adhesive system, the composite resins were applied and cured for 20 s. Then, specimens were subjected to TBS testing by Universal Testing Machine (1 mm/min). One specimen from each group was prepared and observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a dot map was generated. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests (α = 0.05). The TBS values were significantly higher in the control group compared to the D1 and D2 groups (P < 0.05). Between DM groups, D2 values were significantly higher than those in the D1 group. Unlike DM groups, the zigzag fracture pattern was only noticed in the control group. DM adversely affected the TBS of dental composite resins to dentin; this negative effect is more exaggerated by type 1 DM than type 2 DM.

Abstract
This is a narrative review of the literature assessing the potential effectiveness of doping dentin polymeric adhesives with zinc compounds in order to improve bonding efficacy, remineralization and protection against degradation. A literature search was conducted using electronic databases, such as PubMed, MEDLINE, DIMDI and Web of Science. Through our search, we found literature demonstrating that Zn-doped dentin adhesives promote protection and remineralization of the resin-dentin interfaces. The increased bioactivity has also facilitated dentinal tubules' occlusion by crystals' precipitation contributing to improved sealing efficacy of restorations. Loading dentin adhesives with zinc gives rise to an increase of both crystallinity of mineral and crosslinking of collagen. The main role of zinc, in dentin adhesives, is to inhibit collagen proteolysis. We concluded that zinc exerts a protective effect through binding at the collagen-sensitive cleavage sites of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs), contributing to dentin matrix stabilization. Zinc may not only act as a MMPs inhibitor, but also influence signaling pathways and stimulate metabolic effects in dentin mineralization and remineralization processes. Zn-doped adhesives increase the longevity of dentin bonding through MMPs inhibition. Zn poses a remineralization strategy in demineralized dentin.

[PMID: 34935213 DOI: 10.1111/eos.12838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of saliva contamination on bond strength to dentin with an etch-and-rinse and a self-etch adhesive system. For each of these adhesive systems, the dentin surface of 24 human molars were allocated to one of four groups representing different saliva contamination scenarios. Saliva was applied at different stages in the bonding process, and was investigated to be remedied by water rinsing and/or air drying. Uncontaminated tooth surfaces were used as controls. Bonding procedures were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions, and a polymer-based composite was placed. The bond strength was measured by a micro-tensile test. Except for the etch-and-rinse approach having contamination with saliva after etching, followed by air drying, all salivary contamination regimens resulted in a substantial number of specimens not surviving the test, and the bond strength value of these was therefore set to 0 MPa for the purposes of the statistical analysis. Water rinsing after etching and salivary contamination did significantly reduce the bond strength. Contamination after priming showed the lowest bond strength. For the self-etch approach, saliva contamination before the adhesive procedure, followed by air drying, significantly reduced the bond strength, while contamination followed by water rinsing or air drying did not statistically significantly reduce the strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize reduced nano graphene oxide (RGO) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) doped with silver nanoparticles (nAg) and to prepare an experimental dentin adhesive modified with RGO/nAg and GNP/nAg nanofillers for studying various biological and mechanical properties after bonding to tooth dentin. METHODS Nanoparticles were characterized for their morphology and chemical structure using electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Experimental dentin adhesive was modified using two weight percentage (0.25% and 0.5%) of RGO/nAg and GNP/nAg to study its degree of conversion (DC), antimicrobial potential, and cytotoxicity. The effect and significance of these modified bonding agents on resin-dentin bonded interface were investigated by evaluating interfacial nanoleakage, micropermeability, nanodynamic mechanical analysis, micro-tensile bond strength (µTBS), and four-point bending strength (BS), RESULTS: Both 0.25% and 0.5% GNP/nAg graphene-modified adhesives showed comparable DC values to the commercial and experimental adhesive (range: 42-46%). The bacterial viability of the groups 0.25% and 0.5% GNP-Ag remained very low under 25% compared to RGO/nAg groups with low cytotoxicity profiles (cell viability>85%). Resin-bonded dentin interface created with GNP/nAg showed homogenous, well-defined hybrid layer and regularly formed long resin tags devoid of any microporosity as evidenced by SEM and confocal microscopy. The lowest nanoleakage and highest bending strength and µTBS was recorded for 0.25% GNP/nAg after 12 months of ageing. A significantly increased nanoelasticity was seen for all experimental groups except for control groups. SIGNIFICANCE The addition of 0.25% GNP/nAg showed optimized anti-biofilm properties without affecting the standard adhesion characteristics.

Abstract
Dentin bonding based on a wet-bonding technique is the fundamental technique used daily in clinics for tooth-restoration fixation and clinical treatment of tooth-related diseases. Limited bonding durability led by insufficient adhesive infiltration in the demineralized dentin (DD) matrix is the biggest concern in contemporary adhesive dentistry. This study proposes that the highly hydrated noncollagenous protein (NCP)-formed interfacial microenvironment of the DD matrix is the root cause of this problem. Meanwhile, the endogenous phosphate groups of the NCPs are used as pseudonuclei to rapidly induce the formation of amorphous CaF2 nanoparticles in situ in the interfacial microenvironment. The DD matrix is thus reconstructed into a novel porous structure. It markedly facilitates the infiltration of dentin adhesives in the DD matrix and also endows the DD matrix with anticollapsing capability when water evaporates. Whether using a wet-bonding or air-drying mode, the bonding effectiveness is greatly promoted, with the 12 month bonding strength being about twice that of the corresponding control groups. This suggests that the nanoreinforced DD matrix eliminates the dependence of bonding effectiveness on the moisture status of the DD surface controlled only by experiences of dentists. Consequently, this bonding strategy not only greatly improves bonding durability but also overcomes the technical sensitivity of bonding operations of the total-etched bonding pattern. This exhibits the potential to promote dentin bonding and is of great significance to dentistry.

Abstract
Background:
Preserving the strength and durability of dentin bonds is a concern of dental researchers and practitioners.
Objective:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of treating etched dentin with vitamin C and curcumin suspension as cross-linking agents on the shear bond strength and durability of a universal dental adhesive.
Methods:
Extracted human third molar teeth were collected. Fifty-six flat coronal dentin surfaces were divided equally into four groups: (1) treated with adhesives; (2) etched with 37% H3PO4 for 10s before application of adhesives; (3) same as group (2), but with dentin treated with 2.5% curcumin suspension for 60s before the application of adhesive; and (4) same as group (3), but with the use of a 20% vitamin C suspension instead of a curcumin suspension. Filtek Z350XT composite was built for all samples. Half of the samples in each group were subjected to thermocycling. Shear bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine. Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the dentinal surfaces after treatment.
Results:
Treatment with curcumin suspension preserved immediate and long-term bond strength. Conversely, treatment of etched dentin with vitamin C solution significantly reduced the immediate bond strength, but a significant improvement was observed after aging. SEM showed that both cross-linking agents resulted in narrowing or closing of the dentinal tubules, with an adhesive mode of failure.
Conclusion:
The application of curcumin or vitamin C suspension to acid-etched dentin resulted in different effects on immediate and long-term shear bond strength when using universal adhesives.

Abstract
This paper presents state of the art universal adhesive systems and the effect of shelf-life and storage conditions on their bond performance. Three topics are explored in this review: an introduction to the topic, the mechanisms responsible for the degradation of the hybrid layer, and the factors that play a role in the stability of universal adhesives. In addition, issues such as potential durability and clinical importance are discussed. Universal adhesive systems are promising but must be handled and stored according to the manufacturer's instructions, with careful attention given to the details of shelf-life and storage conditions for maximal success. It appears that the components of universal adhesives play an important role in their stability. Furthermore, HEMA-free formulations using methacrylamides lead to longer shelf-life. Further research is needed to prove these hypotheses.

Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of Libidibia ferrea (Lf) extract used as dentin pretreatment on the resin-dentin bond strength stability and dentin endogenous enzymatic activity. The phytochemical profile (PP) of the Lf extract was evaluated by liquid chromatography; particle size, polydispersity index (PdI), and zeta potential (ZP) were evaluated by dynamic light scattering. The tested groups were ER-Scotchbond Universal (SBU) in the etch-and-rinse (ER) mode; ERLf-SBU in the ER mode + Lf after etching; SE- SBU in the self-etch (SE) mode; and LfSE-Lf before SBU in the SE mode. Sticks were obtained for microtensile bond strength tests and failure mode (24 hr and 12 months). The hybrid layer was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. The endogenous enzymatic activity of the underlying dentin was analyzed by in situ zymography with the same treatments. The PP showed the presence of quercetin (2.6% w/w). Lf particles were considered large after the analysis of the PdI. The ZP remained stable over time. The ER and ERLf groups had lower bond strength after 12 months, but SE and LfSE remained stable. The predominant failure mode was adhesive for both times. ER and ERLf had longer resin tags and a thicker hybrid layer. The ER and LfSE groups showed higher enzymatic activity than the ERLf and SE groups after 12 months. The Lf extract may contribute to inhibit the dentin endogenous enzymatic activity when associated with an adhesive system in the ER mode.

Improper Light Curing of Bulkfill Composite Drives Surface Changes and Increases S. mutans Biofilm Growth as a Pathway for Higher Risk of Recurrent Caries around Restorations. Dent J (Basel) 2021; 9:dj9080083.

Abstract
How dentists cure a resin-based material has deleterious effects on the material's properties and its interaction with surrounding dental tissues. Biofilm accumulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of carious lesions around dental restorations, with its composition manifesting expressed dysbiosis in patients suffering from dental caries. To evaluate the influence of varying radiant exposure on the degree of conversion (DC%), Streptococcus mutans biofilm growth, and surface roughness of bulk-fill composites under different light-curing conditions. Two light-curing units (LCU) at 600 and 1000 mW/cm2 were used to simulate curing conditions with different angulations (∢20° and ∢35°) or 2 mm-distance displacements of the LCU tip. The radiant exposure (RE) was assessed, and the composites were analyzed for DC%. Biofilm formation was induced over the bulk-fill composites and analyzed via colony-forming units counting and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface roughness was analyzed via a profilometer and SEM after biofilm formation. Curing conditions with different angulation or displacement decreased RE compared to the "optimal condition". The moderately (∢35°) angulated LCU tip and low (600 mW/cm2) radiant emittance significantly reduced the DC% (p < 0.05). The difference in DC% between the top and bottom of the composites ranged from 8 to 11% for 600 mW/cm2 and 10 to 20% for 1000 mW/cm2. Greater S. mutans biofilm and surface changes were found in composites with non-optimal RE delivery (e.g., tip displacement and angulation) (p < 0.05). Inadequate polymerization of bulk-fill composites was associated with more biofilm accumulation and surface topography changes. Overall, non-optimally performed curing procedures reduced the amount of delivered RE, which led to low DC%, more biofilm formation, and higher surface roughness. The improper light-curing of bulk-fill composites compromises their physicochemical and biological properties, which could lead to inferior clinical performance and reduced restorative treatments' longevity.

Does the etching strategy influence the bonding of universal adhesive systems to primary teeth? A systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies. Eur Arch Paediatr Dent 2021; 22:1015-1022. [PMID: 34085204 DOI: 10.1007/s40368-021-00639-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess through a systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies, the influence of the etching strategy (etch-and-rinse versus self-etch) of universal adhesive systems on bonding to primary teeth. METHODS A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. In vitro studies that compared the bond strength of the etching strategies of universal adhesives to primary teeth were included. Pooled-effect estimates were derived from a random-effects model by comparing the standardized mean difference between the etching strategies (α < 0.05). The risk of bias and heterogeneity between studies were also assessed (Cochrane and I2 tests). RESULTS Seven studies were included in the review and six in the meta-analyses. For dentin, the immediate bond strength was not influenced by the etching strategy regardless of sound (Z = 0.72, p = 0.47) or caries-affected (Z = 1.27, p = 0.21) substrate, nor after aging (Z = 0.24, p = 0.81). It was not possible to perform a meta-analysis for the enamel substrate. Most studies have a medium risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies provides evidence that universal adhesives can be used in both etching strategies in primary dentin. The evidence is currently insufficient about whether selective acid etching of primary enamel is necessary when universal adhesive systems are used.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to investigate a new formulation, based on dioctadecyldimethyl ammonium-bromide (QA) and riboflavin (RF), combining antimicrobial activities and protease inhibitory properties with collagen crosslinking without interference to bonding capabilities in a rabbit model. Quaternary ammonium riboflavin (QARF) experimental adhesives modified with dioctadecyldimethyl ammonium-bromide and riboflavin were bonded (0.5/1.0/2.0%) to rabbit dentin to investigate for pulpal-histology, interfacial-morphology, transmission electron microscopy, mechanical properties, collagen crosslinking, micro-Raman analysis, antimicrobial, and anti-protease activities. Collagen type-I molecules were generated using molecular-docking. Odontoblasts appeared with normal histology, were seen in controls with no inflammatory cells detected in 0.5% specimens at day 7 and mild inflammatory response at day 30. In QARF 2.0%, inflammatory cells were not detected at day 7 and 30 (p < .05). Dentinal tubules are seen with intact collagen surface in 1% specimens. Resin penetrated inside 1% adhesive specimens with few irregularly funnel-shaped tags. Transmission electron microscopy showed thinner collagen in all specimens except 1% QARF specimens. Biofilms were influenced by QARF adhesives. Elastic moduli were significantly higher in 1.0% and 2.0% QARF adhesive specimens with a significant increase in total crosslinks. Stable amide groups with anti-protease activity was observed in QARF groups. Charged residues were seen in the triple helix hCOL3A1, Gly489-Gly510 after stabilisation with formulation. The 1% QARF modified adhesives improved biochemical and biomechanical properties of rabbit dentin.
