ABSTRACT
AIM:
The aim of this study was to evaluate how cavity preparation and primer application methods influence the adhesion of composite resin to dentin using a self-etching system. METHODS AND MATERIALS Forty-eight extracted, sound human molars were divided into six groups (n=8) according to the method used for the surface preparation of the teeth (#600-grit paper disc, diamond bur, and ErYAG laser) and the primer application method utilized (active or passive). Following the adhesive procedure using a self-etching system, 5 mm high composite buildups were created with Z-250 composite resin. After storage in water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours, the specimens were vertically sectioned into serial 1 mm2 sticks and tested for microtensile strength (micro-TBS). Nine additional molars were prepared for morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).RESULTS:
Statistical analysis showed surface preparation technique (p < 0.00) and primer application methods (p < 0.001) do influence bond strength of the self-etching system tested. The best adhesion was achieved with specimens having the dentin ground with sandpaper followed by those ground with diamond burs. The worst bonding was obtained with ErYAG laser ablated dentin. The active primer application method increased bonding performance compared to the passive method.CONCLUSIONS:
Within the limitations of the study, it can be stated surface treatment can influence the bond strength of the self-etching system tested and the active primer application method is more effective in achieving success in bonding to dentin compared with the passive application method. CLINICALSIGNIFICANCE:
Clinicians should use the active application method to apply a mild acidic self-etching primer along with an appropriate tooth surface preparation to facilitate the bond strength between dentin and composite resin.
