Abstract
Background Incorporating nanoparticles into resin infiltrant (RI) can alter its physical properties, including microleakage. This study aimed to examine the microleakage properties of RI modified with 2.5% and 5% zinc oxide (ZnO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles on artificially induced carious lesions (ACLs) in bovine teeth. Materials and methods Modified RIs were applied to five sound and 30 ACLs on bovine incisors. They were divided into seven groups based on the procedure (Group 1: sound enamel (SE), Group 2: artificial caries lesion only (ACL), Group 3: RI, Group 4: RI+ 2.5% ZnO, Group 5: RI + 5% ZnO, Group 6: RI + 2.5% MgO, Group 7: RI + 5% MgO). The samples were subjected to 5000 thermal cycles and then exposed to methylene blue solution for 24 hours in an incubator. The teeth were sectioned and examined with a stereomicroscope to assess the depth of methylene blue penetration (MBP), quantifying microleakage according to the following scoring: 0 = no penetration, 1 = outer half of enamel, 2 = inner half of enamel, 3 = outer half of dentin, and 4 = inner half of dentin. An ANOVA test was conducted to assess the significance of differences among the groups. Post-hoc tests, including Tukey's HSD (honestly significant difference) test, were performed to identify specific group differences and determine which differences were statistically significant. Results SE samples (Group 1) showed minimal penetration, with 100% scoring 1, indicating high resistance to MBP. The ACL group had significant penetration, with 77.78% scoring 3 and 22.22% scoring 2. The RI group completely prevented MBP, with all samples scoring 0. Both RI+2.5% ZnO (Group 4) and RI+2.5% MgO (Group 6) were highly effective, with 88.89% scoring 0 and 11.11% scoring 1. RI+5% ZnO (Group 5) and RI+5% MgO (Group 7) also prevented MBP but had slightly higher minimal penetration, with 77.78% scoring 0 and 22.22% scoring 1. Significant differences were observed between the ACL group and all other groups, underscoring the effectiveness of RI treatments. No significant differences were found between RI+ZnO and RI+MgO at both concentrations, indicating similar effectiveness. Conclusions The study demonstrated that RI modified with 2.5% and 5% ZnO and MgO nanoparticles effectively reduced microleakage in ACLs on bovine teeth compared to untreated lesions. These modifications significantly inhibited MBP, particularly in enamel and dentin, indicating their potential to enhance the durability and effectiveness in clinical applications. This research emphasizes the promising role of nanoparticle-modified RI in minimizing microleakage and optimizing treatment outcomes. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and refine protocols.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the longevity and effectiveness of bioactive glass (BAG)-based dental resin infiltrants. Materials and methods The three types of BAG - 45S5 bioglass (RIS), boron-substituted (RIB), and fluoride-substituted (RIF) - were incorporated with photoinitiated dimethacrylate monomers to create experimental resin infiltrants. ICON® (CN; DMG-America, Ridgefield Park, NJ) and pure resin (PR) were used as control groups in this study. Disc-shaped samples were prepared for the experimental and control groups. The samples were challenged with the pH cycle and immersed in the artificial saliva for 30 days. On Day 0 and Day 30, the pH cycle and artificial saliva immersion, Vicker's microhardness, surface roughness, and surface morphology were investigated. Results The RIF group's disc samples showed the highest Vicker's microhardness values (78.20 ±0.06) on Day 30 of artificial saliva immersion, whereas the CN group's values were the lowest (55.99 ±0.24). Following the pH cycling, the RIF displayed the highest hardness (64.15 ±1.89) whereas the CN group's values were the lowest (33.47 ±1.28). Regarding surface roughness, on Day 30, the RIB resin group exhibited the highest (1.14 ±0.001 µm). In contrast, the CN resin showed the lowest (1.07 ±0.06 µm) values, while immersed in the artificial saliva solution. In the same duration of time, in the pH cycling solution, PR showed the least (0.85 ±0.89 µm), while RIF showed the highest roughness value (0.94 ±0.54 µm). Morphological analysis revealed that following the artificial saliva immersion, the RIB, CN, and PR exhibited smoother surfaces compared to the RIS and RIF groups. However, when immersed in the pH cycling solution, RIB and RIF showed more resistance against acid attack. Conclusions Our results revealed that the experimental resin groups performed much better than the commercial resin infiltrants following artificial saliva and pH cycling challenges.

Equivalence study of the resin-dentine interface of internal tunnel restorations when using an enamel infiltrant resin with ethanol-wet dentine bonding. Sci Rep 2024; 14:12444. [PMID: 38816512 PMCID: PMC11139992 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-63289-0] [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: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
This preregistered ex vivo investigation examined the dentinal hybrid layer formation of a resinous infiltrant (Icon), with reference to both thickness (HLT) and homogeneity when combined with modified tunnel preparation (occlusal cavity only) and internal/external caries infiltration. The adhesives Syntac and Scotchbond MP were used as controls (Groups 1 and 3) or in combination with Icon (Groups 2 and 4). A split-tooth design using healthy third molars from 20 donors resulted in 20 prepared dentine cavities per experimental group. The cavity surfaces (n = 80) were etched (37% H3PO4), rinsed, and air-dried. Rewetting with ethanol was followed by application of the respective primers. After labeling with fluorescent dyes, either Syntac Adhesive/Heliobond or Scotchbond MP Adhesive was used alone or supplemented with Icon. HLT, as evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, did not significantly differ (P > 0.05), and confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed homogeneously mixed/polymerized resin-dentine interdiffusion zones in all groups. Icon can be successfully integrated into an ethanol-wet dentine bonding strategy, and will result in compact and homogeneous hybrid layers of comparable thickness considered equivalent to the non-Icon controls, thus allowing for preservation of the tooth's marginal ridge and interdental space in the case of internal/external infiltration of proximal caries.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 45:103989. [PMID: 38280674 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2024.103989] [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: 09/24/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Resin infiltration is used to mask enamel opacities and the recommended etching cycles are three. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that favorable esthetics outcomes can be obtained by increasing the etching cycles. AIM To determine the incremental and total enamel loss when enamel surfaces are exposed to multiple etching cycles and to assess the relative attenuation coefficient after multiple etching cycles and resin infiltration treatment. METHODS Ninety extracted sound human premolars teeth were divided into 9 groups (n = 10); with each consecutive group having one additional etching cycle up to 9 cycles. The teeth were scanned with optical coherence tomography and enamel loss and attenuation coefficient were measured with MATLAB software. Enamel loss (one-way ANOVA, p ≤ 0.05) and attenuation coefficient (two-way ANOVA, p ≤ 0.05) were statistically analyzed. RESULTS There was a significant total enamel loss of more than 33% found at the 7th etching cycle and more. There was no statistically significant difference in the incremental mean depth of penetration of resin between various etching cycles (F(8, 134) = [2.016], one-way ANOVA, p = 0.185). CONCLUSION This study recommends that etching should not be repeated more than seven cycles to prevent excessive enamel loss. Following eight etching cycles, resin infiltration penetration appears approximately equal to that of healthy enamel.

Abstract
Aims and Objectives Studies on resin infiltration and its penetration capability are becoming the focus of emerging dentistry. The depth of resin penetration could be a key determining factor in creating a diffusion barrier and in the success of infiltration. The aim of this review article was to evaluate the penetration depth of commercially available resin infiltration in early caries lesions and to identify factors that influence the penetration capability of resin infiltration. Materials and Methods A literature search was performed in four databases (PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science) and manual searching from 2009 to December 2022. Eligibility criteria included in vitro studies pertaining to factors affecting the penetration depth of resin infiltration into the enamel. The risk of bias assessment was done by using checklist for reporting in vitro studies (CRIS). Results The initial search resulted in a total of 297 studies. Twenty-nine were assessed for eligibility, and 23 were selected in the qualitative synthesis. According to the CRIS guidelines, all of the studies were classified as moderate risk of bias. The penetration of resin infiltration is influenced by the enamel surface treatment with hydrochloric acid, formulations containing triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), the addition of ethanol, penetration time, duration of penetration time, saliva contamination, caries activity, and type of tooth. The hypermineralized surface layer needs to be removed for better resin perfusion. Conclusion The key to optimal resin infiltration depends on the enamel surface treatment with hydrochloric acid and application technique, infiltration duration, formulation of TEGDMA and ethanol in the resin composition, as well as the type and caries activity of involved teeth. Resin infiltration has superior penetrability compared to fissure sealant, casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplexes, flowable composite, adhesive and fluoride varnish. Resin penetration depth may be a critical factor in forming a diffusion barrier and the effectiveness of infiltration in halting the progression of caries.
