Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the sodium ascorbate in different application times and concentrations on bond strength of a conventional 3 steps adhesive system to the pulp chamber dentin treated with sodium hypochlorite, EDTA or their associations. Eighty-four intact bovine incisors, freshly extracted, were sectioned in order to obtain samples of the buccal middle third of the crown. The samples were randomly distributed into 14 groups (n = 6) according to the chemical surface treatment of the dentin. G1 (control): 0.9% NaCl; G2: 5.25% NaOCl, G3 and G4: 5.25% NaOCl followed by 10 or 20% sodium ascorbate, respectively, for 10 minutes; G5: 0.9% NaCl followed by 17% EDTA; G6 and G7: 0.9% NaCl + 17% EDTA followed by 10 or 20% sodium ascorbate respectively, for 10 minutes; G8: 5.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA + 5.25% NaOCl; G9, G10 and G11: similar to G8 followed by 10% sodium ascorbate for 1, 5 or 10 minutes, respectively; G12, G13 and G14: similar to G8 followed by 20% sodium ascorbate for 1, 5 or 10 minutes, respectively. At the end, all samples were immersed in 0.9% NaCl for 3 minutes. The dentin was hybridized with Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose and then prepared for the microtensile bond strength test. Data were analyzed statistically (?= 0.05) and the failure mode classified under Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The values of bond strength of Group 1 were significantly higher than other groups, except for Group 4. Group 4 showed average superior to Groups 9 and 14 (p <0.05). However, no differences were observed among the other groups, regardless of the dentin surface treatment, application time or concentration of sodium ascorbate. It was concluded that NaOCl and EDTA, whether associated or not, significantly reduced (p <0.05) the bond strength values of resin-dentin interface in the pulp chamber. Sodium ascorbate restored the bond strength values of pulp chamber dentin only when used at a concentration of 20% for 10 minutes after an isolated application of NaOCl on dentin (Group 4) (AU)
