  • ...The etch-and-rinse strategy involves the prior application of phosphoric acid, which, at enamel, produces deep etch-pits in the hydroxyapatite (HAp)-rich substrate and, at dentin, demineralizes up to a depth of a few micrometers to expose an HAp-deprived collagen mesh.(1,3) Thus, etch-and-rinse adhesives are available for use in three steps (acid etching, primer and adhesive) or two steps (primer and adhesive joined into one single material)....

TL;DR: Describing adhesive-dentin interfaces chemically and ultrastructurally revealed nano-layering at the adhesive interface, not only within the hybrid layer but also, particularly for Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray), extending into the adhesive layer.
Abstract: According to the 'Adhesion-Decalcification' concept, specific functional monomers within dental adhesives can ionically interact with hydroxyapatite (HAp). Such ionic bonding has been demonstrated for 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) to manifest in the form of self-assembled 'nano-layering'. However, it remained to be explored if such nano-layering also occurs on tooth tissue when commercial MDP-containing adhesives (Clearfil SE Bond, Kuraray; Scotchbond Universal, 3M ESPE) were applied following common clinical application protocols. We therefore characterized adhesive-dentin interfaces chemically, using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and ultrastructurally, using (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (TEM/STEM). Both adhesives revealed nano-layering at the adhesive interface, not only within the hybrid layer but also, particularly for Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray), extending into the adhesive layer. Since such self-assembled nano-layering of two 10-MDP molecules, joined by stable MDP-Ca salt formation, must make the adhesive interface more resistant to biodegradation, it may well explain the documented favorable clinical longevity of bonds produced by 10-MDP-based adhesives.

TL;DR: To evaluate the shear bond strength of resin-based composite to dentin and enamel using three adhesive systems, two of them containing self-etchant primers, no significant differences exist between Etch & Prime and Scotchbond Multi-Purpose.
Abstract: PURPOSE To evaluate the shear bond strength of resin-based composite to dentin and enamel using three adhesive systems, two of them containing self-etchant primers. Wettability (contact angle measurements) of the primers of these three adhesive systems was also evaluated on superficial and deep dentin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Contact angle measurements were performed on 30 caries-free extracted human third molars; specimens were sectioned parallel to the occlusal surface to expose superficial and deep dentin. Dentin was ground flat (600-grit SiC) under water to provide uniform surfaces. Contact angle measurements were performed to assess wettability using the Axisymmetric Drop Shape Analysis technique. In order to test the enamel bond strength, 30 extracted bovine incisors were embedded in acrylic resin and ground flat to 800-grit. The adhesives and composite resins were applied following the manufacturers' instructions. All the specimens were stored in water for 24 hrs at 37 degrees C and thermocycled (500x). Shear bond strengths were determined using a universal testing machine and the Watanabe device. For dentin bond strength testing, superficial and deep dentin was exposed in 60 third molars, by sectioning the occlusal surface immediately under the enamel-dentin junction or close to the pulp chamber. After grinding (500 grit SiC), the dentin surfaces were assigned to three groups: (1) Clearfil SE Bond (CSEB)/Clearfil AP-X resin composite. (2) Etch & Prime (EP no significant differences exist between Etch & Prime and Scotchbond Multi-Purpose.

TL;DR: Self-etching primers create thin hybrid layers that incorporate the smear layer, showing that formation of true hybrid layers occurs irrespective of smear layer thickness and that both hybrid layers may function as a unit during loading without separation.
Abstract: PURPOSE The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the absence and presence of smear layers on bonds made to dentin using a self-etching primer system, Clearfil SE Bond. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dentin surfaces with different smear layer thickness were created from mid-coronal sound dentin in extracted, human third molars. The control group was cryofractured to create a bonding surface that was devoid of a smear layer. The experimental teeth were ground with wet 60-, 180- or 600-grit SiC paper. They were bonded using SE Bond, followed by resin composite buildups. After 1 day, bonded specimens were sectioned into multiple 1- x 1-mm beams. Microtensile bond strengths were determined and the results analyzed with ANOVA and the Student Neuman Keuls test. Fractographic study of cross sections of failed interfaces from the dentin side of representative beams was performed using both SEM and TEM. RESULTS SE Bond produced high bond strengths (ca 50 MPa) to both smear layer-free and smear layer-covered dentin. SEM examination was inadequate to define the exact nature of interfacial failures. TEM observations demonstrated a thin (ca 400 to 500 nm) hybrid layer in the fractured dentin and thicker (ca 1 to 4 microns) hybrid layers on smear layer-covered dentin. This included a thick, hybridized smear layer and a thin, underlying true hybrid layer in the intact dentin. Separation of the two hybrid layers was not evident in interfacial failures. CONCLUSION Self-etching primers create thin hybrid layers that incorporate the smear layer. This study shows that formation of true hybrid layers occurs irrespective of smear layer thickness and that both hybrid layers may function as a unit during loading without separation. identification of secondary cracks from TEM fractographic analysis exemplifies the complex reaction to tensile stresses in multilayered joint systems that comprise materials of variable compliance.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the AD-concept that originally dictated the interaction of carboxylic acids with human hard tissues can be extended to inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric and nitric acid.
Abstract: In order to study adhesion/decalcification mechanisms of acid interactions with human hard tissues such as bones and teeth, the chemical interaction of five carboxylic acids (acetic, citric, lactic, maleic, and oxalic) and two inorganic acids (hydrochloric and nitric) with enamel and two synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders with, respectively, a high and a low crystallinity were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS), and spectrophotometry (S). X-ray diffraction revealed that the crystallinity of the highly crystallized HAp was considerably higher than that of enamel while the crystallinity of the poorly crystallized HAp was similar to that of dentin and bone. XPS of acid-treated enamel demonstrated for all carboxylic acids ionic bonding to calcium of HAp. AAS and S showed for both HAps that all carboxylic and inorganic acids except oxalic acid extracted Ca significantly more than P, leading to a Ca/P ratio close to that of synthetic HAp (2.16 w/w). Oxalic acid extracted hardly any Ca, but substantially more P, leading to a significantly smaller Ca/P ratio than that of HAp. AAS showed that the calcium salt of oxalic acid hardly could be dissolved, whereas the calcium salts of all the other acids were very soluble in their respective acid solution. These results confirm the adhesion/decalcification concept (AD-concept) previously advanced. Depending on the dissolution rate of the respective calcium salts, acids either adhere to or decalcify apatitic substrates. It is concluded that the AD-concept that originally dictated the interaction of carboxylic acids with human hard tissues can be extended to inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric and nitric acid. Furthermore, HAp crystallinity was found not to affect the adhesion/decalcification behavior of acids when interacting with apatitic substrates, so that the AD-concept can be applied to all human hard tissues with varying HAp crystallinity.
