| Abstract | |
Resin luting materials to fixed prosthetic restorations have been evaluated in many studies, however, little is known about self-adhesive resin cements, mainly involving long-term durability and when these materials have been submitted to challenges of oral environment. Thus, the purpose of this study was: 1- to verify the filler particles components and to characterize them according to type and morphology; 2- to analyze the ultramorphology of the dentin-resin interfaces using confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3- to evaluate the effect of the storage for 1 year or the mechanical cycling (50.000 cycles) on bond strength of resin cements to dentin. Four resin cements were used in this study: two self-adhesive resin cements (RelyX Unicem, 3M ESPE and Clearfil SA Luting, Kuraray Medical Inc.) and two conventional resin cements (RelyX ARC/Adper Scotchbond Multi- Purpose Plus, 3M ESPE and Clearfil Esthetic Cement/Clearfil DC Bond, Kuraray Medical Inc.). For indentifying the main inorganic components and to evaluate the filler particles characteristics, the organic phase of resin cements was removed using organic solvents and the sample was analyzed by SEM/EDX (Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy). Human third molars were used for micromorphology analysis of resin-dentin interfaces and microtensile bond strength test. For micromorphology analyses of resin-dentin interfaces, two fluorescent dyes (fluorescein and rhodamine B) were incorporated into the materials previously. For microtensile bond strength, pre-polymerized resin discs were prepared to simulate indirect restorations. After bonding procedures, the restored teeth were submitted to three treatments: 1- control group (tested 24 h after specimen preparation); 2- tested after mechanical cycling; 3- beams were storage for one year in artificial saliva and tested. Bond strength data were statistically analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (?<0.05). Qualitative analysis was performed for two other studies using microscopic images. For SEM/EDX measurements, high amount of silicon was identified for all cements. The resin cement RelyX ARC showed spherical and irregular particles, while other cements presented irregular shape fillers. Hybrid layer formation was observed only for conventional resin cements in micromorphology analyses. For microtensile test, the treatments did not reduce the bond strength between dentin-resin cement. Self-adhesive resin cements provide significantly higher bond strength than those conventional materials. Despite the resin cements showed filler particles with differences in the inorganic composition and different bonding mechanisms, the mechanical cycling and storage for one year did not affect the bond strength to dentin when it was compared to control group. The self-adhesive resin cements showed no hybrid layer formation in intertubular dentin and nor resin tags in the dentinal tubules were detected. However, these materials showed the biggest filler particles and higher bond strength to dentin than conventional resin cements studied (AU) | |
