RESUMO
AIM: To evaluate the potential biostimulatory effects of grape seed extract (GSE) on a primary culture of human pulp cells. METHODOLOGY: Human molars were used to obtain the primary pulp cell culture and 0.5-mm dentine discs. For GSE direct exposure, dose-response (0.0065-6.5%) and time response (1-60 min of contact) were examined. For transdentinal exposure, 0.65% of GSE was tested for 24 h. Cellular metabolism, nitric oxide and collagen production, and cell morphology alterations were assessed at periods of 24 and 72 h. After cell differentiation and direct exposure to GSE, the total protein production (TP), alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) and formation of mineralization nodules (MN) were assessed. The results were analysed by parametric tests or non-parametric tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS: The lower concentration of GSE tested (0.0065%) was associated with an increase in cellular metabolism, a reduction in the production of nitric oxide and an increase in extracellular matrix synthesis (collagen). Distinct behaviours were observed for the different concentrations, without a reduction of cellular metabolism >10% compared with the control, either when applied directly or transdentinally. SEM revealed no significant change in cell morphology, except for the positive control (H2 O2 ). There was no difference in TP, ALP or MN between the control group and the group exposed to GSE. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with grape seed extract, even at the highest concentration and longest period, caused neither direct nor transdentinal cytotoxic effects on human pulp cells. Grape seed extract components may play a biostimulatory role and protect dental pulp cells when in direct contact.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) ADNEX model in the preoperative discrimination between benign ovarian (including tubal and para-ovarian) tumors, borderline ovarian tumors (BOT), Stage I ovarian cancer (OC), Stage II-IV OC and ovarian metastasis in a gynecological oncology center in Brazil. METHODS: This was a diagnostic accuracy study including 131 women with an adnexal mass invited to participate between February 2014 and November 2015. Before surgery, pelvic ultrasound examination was performed and serum levels of tumor marker CA 125 were measured in all women. Adnexal masses were classified according to the IOTA ADNEX model. Histopathological diagnosis was the gold standard. Receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the model to classify tumors into different histological types. RESULTS: Of 131 women, 63 (48.1%) had a benign ovarian tumor, 16 (12.2%) had a BOT, 17 (13.0%) had Stage I OC, 24 (18.3%) had Stage II-IV OC and 11 (8.4%) had ovarian metastasis. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.92 (95% CI, 0.88-0.97) for the basic discrimination between benign vs malignant tumors using the IOTA ADNEX model. Performance was high for the discrimination between benign vs Stage II-IV OC, BOT vs Stage II-IV OC and Stage I OC vs Stage II-IV OC, with AUCs of 0.99, 0.97 and 0.94, respectively. Performance was poor for the differentiation between BOT vs Stage I OC and between Stage I OC vs ovarian metastasis with AUCs of 0.64. CONCLUSION: The majority of adnexal masses in our study were classified correctly using the IOTA ADNEX model. On the basis of our findings, we would expect the model to aid in the management of women with an adnexal mass presenting to a gynecological oncology center. Copyright © 2016 ISUOG.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the erosive potential of dry mouth lozenges and tablets on enamel and dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The following lozenges and tablets were tested: Salese, Oracoat Xylimelts, Cotton Mouth, TheraBreath, DenTek OraMoist, SmartMouth, ACT, CVS Health, Rite Aid, Med Active, and Hager Pharma. pH Analysis: Each lozenge or tablet was crushed with a pestle and mortar and 5 g of the resultant powder was dissolved in 10 ml of distilled water (pH 7.02) The pH of each lozenge solution was assessed by using a calibrated pH meter. Titratable Acidity (TA) was determined by adding 0.1 M of NaOH to each homogenous tablet solution until the pH reached 7.0. Gravimetric Analysis was measured with freshly extracted molars crown/roots were sectioned at the CEJ and enamel and dentin specimens were fabricated. The specimens were then submerged in 5 ml of solution containing 2.5 gm of crushed tablets for 24 h, 48 h, 96 h and 14 days with measurements performed at each interval after drying. The solutions were renewed at each interval. RESULTS: Significant correlation between pH and TA was observed for lozenges and tablets evaluated (p < 0.0001). Both variables were strongly correlated with enamel and dentin loss (p < 0.0001). For enamel, DenTek resulted in significantly more substance loss (p < 0.05) than with the other tested products, while Xylimelts presented the lowest percentage of substance loss. For dentin, Cotton Mouth resulted in the highest substance loss, and Xylimelts presented the lowest percentage of substance loss. CONCLUSIONS: There is a strong correlation between the pH, tritatable aciditiy, and erosive potential of these products. DenTek and Cotton Mouth reported erosive effect to the enamel and dentin, respectively. Xylimelts performed better than the rest of the products in relationship to enamel and dentin.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of intracoronal bleaching on ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of sound and etched dentine and its ultrastructure morphology. METHODOLOGY: Bovine dentine specimens with (e) or without previous etching with 37% phosphoric acid for 15 s were used for the intracoronal bleaching experiments. Teeth were randomly assigned to five treatments (n = 10): (C) control--no bleaching, (SP) sodium perborate, (CP) 35% carbamide peroxide, (25% HP) 25% hydrogen peroxide and (35% HP) 35% hydrogen peroxide. Bleaching was performed four times within a 72 h interval and afterwards, dentine pulp chamber blocks were obtained. The blocks were sectioned in 0.7 mm-thick slices and these were trimmed to reduce the inner dentine to a dumbbell shape with a cross-sectional area of 0.8 mm(2). Specimens were tested with the microtensile method (0.5 mm min(-1)) and data were analysed (two-way ANOVA-Tukey test, P < 0.05). Additional teeth were prepared for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to evaluate dentine ultramorphology. RESULTS: The mean values of the UTS (SD) in MPa for sound dentine were: C = 48.3(8.5)a, SP = 34.6 (8.2)b, CP = 32.9 (8.9)b, 25% HP = 28.0(4.6)b, 35% HP = 26.4(6.6)b, and pre-etched dentine: Ce = 38.9(13.8)a, SPe = 31.3 (9.3)ab, CPe = 28.4 (6.2)ab, 25% HPe = 30.0 (7.9)ab, 35% HPe = 19.9(4.6)b. Significant differences between the means are indicated by the letters. TEM observations exhibited demineralization areas for all bleaching treatments. CONCLUSION: Bleaching decreased dentine UTS after treatment. Pre-etched not-bleached dentine (Ce) presented UTS similar to pre-etched bleached dentine, except for 35% HPe. The decrease of UTS of bleached dentine could be attributed to ultrastructural alterations such as loss of inorganic components.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of dentin collagen modifications induced by various cross-linkers on the stability of collagen matrix and the inhibition of root caries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The following cross-linkers were tested: 5% glutaraldehyde (GA), 0.5% proanthocyanidin (PA), 0.625% genipin (GE). In the first experiment, cross-linker-treated demineralized human root dentin was digested with bacterial collagenase, centrifuged, and the supernatants were subjected to amino acid analysis to determine collagen content. The residues were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and hydroxyproline analysis. In the second experiment, bovine root surfaces were conditioned with phosphoric acid, treated with the cross-linkers, incubated with Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus for 1 week and the root caries inhibition was evaluated with confocal microscopy. Lastly, the ability of the bacteria to colonize the root surface was evaluated. In this experiment slabs of bovine root were treated with the cross-linkers and incubated in a suspension of S. mutans and L. acidophilus. The slabs were washed, resuspended in water, glucose was added, and the pH measured. RESULTS: While all collagen was digested with collagenase in the control groups, only a small proportion was solubilized in the GA-, PA-, and GE-treated groups. The root caries was significantly inhibited by treatment with PA or GA. Drops in pH in the cross-linker-treated groups were essentially the same as in the untreated group. CONCLUSION: Naturally occurring cross-linkers, especially PA, could be used to modify root dentin collagen to efficiently stabilize collagen and to increase its resistance against caries.

The structural integrity of fibrillar type I collagen is critical for effective dentin bonding. Since most noncollagenous matrix components in dentin are closely associated with collagen, we hypothesized that they may also contribute to dentin bonding. To test this hypothesis, bovine dentin was acid-etched, treated with chondroitinase ABC (C-ABC), endo-beta-galactosidase (Endo-beta), or trypsin. Controls were prepared in the same manner but without the enzymes. All control and experimental specimens were then bonded with One-Step. Bond strength data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Fisher's PLSD test (p < 0.05). When dentin was treated with C-ABC or trypsin, bond strengths significantly decreased for the rewetted groups (p < 0.05). The treatment with Endo-beta showed no effects on bond strengths (p > 0.05). When the treated dentin surfaces were observed under SEM, the C-ABC and trypsin treated groups revealed significant loss of collagen fibril architecture. The results indicate that chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans and trypsin-digestible noncollagenous proteins play roles in maintaining the open dimensions of the collagen fibril scaffold, which is essential for optimal dentin bonding.

This study evaluated the effect of blood contamination and decontamination methods on the microtensile bond strength of 1-step self-etching adhesive systems to dentin contaminated after adhesive application and light curing. Three commercially available "all-in-one" adhesives (One Up Bond F, Xeno III and Adper Prompt L-Pop) and 1 resin composite (Clearfil AP-X) were used. Third molars that had been stored in distilled water with 0.5% thymol at 4 degrees C were ground with #600 SiC paper under running water to produce a standardized smear layer. The specimens were randomly divided into groups according to the 3 adhesive systems. The adhesive systems were used under 3 conditions: no contamination, which was the control (C); contamination of the light-cured adhesive surface with blood and reapplication of adhesive (Contamination 1) and contamination of the light-cured adhesive surface with blood, then washing, drying and reapplication of the adhesive (Contamination 2). Following light curing of the adhesive, the resin composite was placed in 3 increments up to a 5-mm-thick layer on the bonded surface. All specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours. The microtensile bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine (EZ test), and data were analyzed by 1-way ANOVA followed by the Duncan test to make comparisons among the groups (p=0.05). After debonding, 5 specimens were selected from each group and examined in a scanning electron microscope to evaluate the modes of fracture. For all adhesives, contamination groups showed lower bond strength than the control (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among the control groups (p>0.05). For Xeno III and Adper Prompt L-Pop, contamination group #2 showed the lowest bond strength among the groups (p<0.05). For One Up Bond F, contamination group #2 showed higher bond strength than contamination group #1 but showed no statistical significance between them (p>0.05).

This study evaluated the effect of saliva contamination and decontamination methods on the dentin bond strength of one-step self-etching adhesive systems. Three commercially available "all-in-one" adhesives (One Up Bond F, Xeno III and Adper Prompt) and one resin composite (Filtek Z-250) were used. Third molars stored in distilled water with 0.5% thymol at 4 degrees C were ground with #600 SiC paper under running water to produce a standardized smear layer. The specimens were randomly divided into groups according to contamination methods: no contamination, which was the control (C); contamination of the adhesive surface with fresh saliva before light curing (A) and contamination of the adhesive surface with fresh saliva after light curing (B). Each contamination group was further subdivided into three subgroups according to the decontamination method: A1-Saliva was removed by a gentle air blast and the adhesive was light-cured; A2-Saliva was rinsed for 10 seconds, gently air-dried and the was adhesive light-cured; A3-Saliva was rinsed and dried as in A2, then the adhesive was re-applied to the dentin surface and light-cured; B1-Saliva was removed with a gentle air blast; B2-Saliva was rinsed and dried; B3-Saliva was rinsed, dried and the adhesive was re-applied and light cured. Tygon tubes filled with resin composite were placed on each surface and light cured. All specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours. Microshear bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine (EZ test), and data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by the Duncan test to make comparisons among the groups (p<0.05). After debonding, five specimens were selected and examined in a scanning electron microscope to evaluate the modes of fracture. The A2 subgroup resulted in the lowest bond strength. For One Up Bond F and Adper Prompt, there was no significant difference between subgroup A1 and the control, and subgroup A3 and the control (p>0.05). Bond strengths of all B groups were significantly lower compared to the controls (p<0.05). For Xeno III, A1 subgroup showed the greatest decrease in bond strength as compared to the control (p<0.05). On the other hand, it showed more resistance to salivary contamination after adhesive curing. There was no statistically significant difference among the control groups (p>0.05).

Several studies have indicated differences in bond strength of dental materials to crown and root dentin. To investigate the potential differences in matrix properties between these locations, we analyzed upper root and crown dentin in human third molars for ultimate tensile strength and collagen biochemistry. In both locations, tensile strength tested perpendicular to the direction of dentinal tubules (undemineralized crown = 140.4 +/- 48.6/root = 95.9 +/- 26.1; demineralized crown = 16.6 +/- 6.3/root = 29.0 +/- 12.4) was greater than that tested parallel to the tubular direction (undemineralized crown = 73.1 +/- 21.2/root = 63.2 +/- 22.6; demineralized crown = 9.0 +/- 3.9/root = 16.2 +/- 8.0). The demineralized specimens showed significantly greater tensile strength in root than in crown. Although the collagen content was comparable in both locations, two major collagen cross-links, dehydrodihydroxylysinonorleucine/its ketoamine and pyridinoline, were significantly higher in the root (by ~ 30 and ~ 55%, respectively) when compared with those in the crown. These results indicate that the profile of collagen cross-linking varies as a function of anatomical location in dentin and that the difference may partly explain the site-specific tensile strength.

The long-term durability of bonds between adhesive resins and dentin is of significant importance for the longevity of bonded restorations. We carried out an in vivo one-year study to evaluate the durability of resin-dentin bonds in the oral cavity, as well as to test the hypothesis that the adhesive interface would show morphological changes in vivo over time. Very shallow saucer-shaped dentin cavities were prepared in 12 intact teeth of one Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata) under general anesthesia. The cavities were restored with Clearfil Liner Bond II and Clearfil Photo Posterior resin composite. The teeth were extracted at three different times: immediately, and 180 and 360 days after placement of the restorations. One day after the monkey was killed, specimens of the three time periods were subjected to the micro-tensile bond test at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The surfaces of the failed bonds were observed under a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Bond strength measurements in this study were successfully performed and were stable at approximately 19 MPa during the one-year testing. Scanning electron microscopic observations of the failed surfaces revealed, at the top of the hybrid layer and within the adhesive resin, porosity which increased over time. Long-term bonds can be assessed in vivo by the combined evaluation of the microtensile bond strength and SEM morphological examination of the adhesive interface.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate quantitatively the ability of four different filling materials to seal the orifices of root canals as a secondary seal after root canal therapy. Forty extracted human molar teeth were used. The top of pulp chambers and distal halves of the roots were removed using an Isomet saw. The canal orifices were temporarily sealed with a gutta-percha master cone without sealer. The pulp chambers were then treated with a self-etching primer adhesive system (Clearfil SE Bond), a wet bonding system (One-Step), a 4-methacryloyloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride adhesive system (C&B Metabond), or a reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol (IRM). The specimens were randomly divided into four groups of 10 each. A fluid filtration method was used for quantitative evaluation of leakage. Measurements of fluid movement were made at 2-min intervals for 8 min. The quality of the seal of each specimen was measured by fluid filtration immediately and after 1 day, 1 wk, and 1 month. Even after 1 month the resins showed an excellent seal. Zinc oxide-eugenol had significantly more leakage when compared with the resin systems (p < 0.05). Adhesive resins should be considered as a secondary seal to prevent intraorifice microleakage.

Microleakage of oral microorganisms, which can occur due to the lack of sealing ability of permanent restorative materials, may cause failure of root canal treatments. Although a great deal of research has been done on sealing enamel and coronal dentin with resins, little research has been done on the adhesion of resins to the walls of pulp chambers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate regional bond strengths of two adhesive systems to the walls of pulp chambers. A section was made horizontally through the middle of the pulp chamber of extracted human third molars to divide the chamber into upper and lower halves. The pulp tissue was removed and the tooth segments were then divided into treatment subgroups. The pulp chambers were bonded with C&B Metabond (Parkell) or One-Step (Bisco), with or without 5% NaOCI pretreatment. The microtensile bond strengths of these resins to four different pulp chamber regions (bottom, wall, roof, and pulp horn areas) were then measured using an Instron machine. The data were expressed in MPa and were analyzed by a three-way ANOVA. Statistically significant differences were found among the test groups (p < 0.001). One-Step produced higher bond strengths to all pulp chamber regions except the floor, compared with C&B Metabond. The results indicated that high bond strengths can be achieved between adhesive resins and the various regions of the pulp chamber. This should permit the use of a thick layer of unfilled resin along the floor of the pulp chamber and over the canal orifices as a secondary protective seal after finishing root canal therapy.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to measure the dimensional changes of demineralized dentin before and after application of HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). METHODS: The middle portion of bovine dentin was ground, polished, and covered with a vinyl tape with a 4-mm hole punched through it. A strip of polysiloxane impression material was then placed across the center of the dentin surface to preserve a strip of the original unetched surface. Dentin surfaces were etched with 32% phosphoric acid for 60 s and rinsed with water. The impression material was then removed and the following sequential steps were performed: the dentin surface was mildly air-dried, then strongly air-dried, then treated with either 35 wt.% HEMA/water or 100 wt.% HEMA and mildly air-dried, and then strongly dried again. The shrinkage of the demineralized dentin surface from the original unetched level was measured by CLSM in each step and results analyzed by one-way ANOVA. RESULTS: The dimensional changes of demineralized dentin after mild air drying were approximately -1 micron and, following strong air drying, resulted in -5 microns shrinkage. Following the application of 35 wt.% HEMA/water, the height of the demineralized dentin changed to a level of -3.3 microns, but then shrank to -4.8 microns after strong drying. ANOVA indicated that re-expansion of the shrunken etched dentin was significant (p < 0.05); however, the treated surface collapsed when it was strongly dried again (p < 0.05). 100% HEMA did not re-expand the shrunken demineralized dentin under any of the application on protocols (p > 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE: Thirty-five wt.% HEMA in water re-expanded the collapsed demineralized dentin matrix, however not to the original level. One hundred wt.% HEMA did not cause any re-expansion.

OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to correlate Knoop and triangular hardness numbers by measuring the microhardness of in vitro caries-inhibited and -demineralized dentin adjacent to a conventional and two resin-modified glass ionomer cements. METHODS: Box-shaped cavities were prepared on bovine root dentin and restored with either Fuji II, Fuji II LC, or Vitremer. The teeth were then decalcified in an acid buffered solution of 50 mmol l-1 acetic acid adjusted to pH = 4.5 for 3 days. Knoop and triangular microhardness indentations were performed perpendicular to the surface and parallel to the cavity wall, in the demineralized lesion and inhibition zone. Calcium and phosphorous contents of the outer lesions and inhibition zones were compared using energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). The correlation between Knoop and triangular hardness was analyzed by correlation coefficient. The statistical significance of hardness data was analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Fisher's PLSD test (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Triangular hardness (HT) correlated well with Knoop hardness number (KHN) (r2 = 0.81, p < 0.05). The microhardness of the inhibition zone created by Fuji II was of 59.2 +/- 3.8 HT and was statistically significantly higher than the zone produced by Fuji II LC and Vitremer. Fuji II LC and Vitremer produced inhibition zones with similar microhardness [48.3 +/- 3.5 HT and 44.0 +/- 7.6 HT, respectively (p > 0.05)]. Calcium and Phosphorous were present in the inhibition zone, but did not exist in the demineralized lesion. SIGNIFICANCE: Knoop and triangular hardness numbers correlated significantly (p < 0.05), and the latter seems to be a promising alternative method for measuring very narrow surfaces. Despite the fact that all glass ionomer materials used in this study were effective in producing an acid-resistant layer, microhardness and intensity of these layers were material dependent.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the micro-tensile bond strength to dentin and mechanical properties of the cured adhesive resins. METHODS: Coronal dentin surfaces of extracted human teeth were treated with four commercial self-etching priming systems (Clearfil SE Bond; UniFil Bond; Tokuso Mac-Bond II; and Imperva Fluoro Bond) and bonded with a resin composite. After 24h storage in water at 37 degrees C, the bonded specimens were trimmed and subjected to micro-tensile bond strength testing at a cross-head speed of 1mm/min. Debonded surfaces were observed under a FE-SEM. For testing mechanical properties, 0.7-mm thick slabs of each adhesive resin were prepared, light-cured, and stored dry at the room temperature for 24h. After trimming, ultimate micro-tensile strength was measured. The nano-hardness and Young's modulus were also evaluated using cured adhesives that were prepared in the same manner as described above. RESULTS: The micro-tensile bond strengths to dentin and ultimate micro-tensile strengths of the resins were not significantly different among all systems (P>0.05). However, the nano-hardness and Young's modulus of Clearfil SE Bond and Imperva Fluoro Bond adhesive resins were significantly higher than those of UniFil Bond and Tokuso Mac-Bond II resins (P<0.05). The micro-tensile bond strength significantly correlated with the ultimate micro-tensile strength of the resins (r(2)=0.77; P<0.05), but was not correlated with the nano-hardness or Young's modulus (P>0.05). SEM observation of the debonded surfaces revealed a mixed type of fracture with a combination of interfacial and cohesive failure within the adhesive resin. SIGNIFICANCE: The four self-etching priming systems exhibited similar dentin bond strengths, which also correlates with the ultimate strength of the adhesive resins.

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to test the null hypothesis that no dimensional changes in wet decalcified dentin matrices will occur during the application of one-bottle adhesives, and to evaluate the ultimate tensile strengths (UTS) of resin-infiltrated dentin matrices using the microtensile test. METHODS: Dentin disks 0.2 mm thick were prepared from mid-coronal dentin of human unerupted third molars. They were completely decalcified in 0.5 M EDTA (pH 7.4) for 5 days at 25 degrees C and then placed in the bottom of an aluminum well to permit use of the LVDT portion of a thermal mechanical analyzer. Changes in matrix height in response to the application of Single Bond, One-Step or Prime & Bond NT were measured along with the UTS of resin-infiltrated specimens that were compared using a one-way ANOVA and Fisher's PLSD test. RESULTS: All one-bottle adhesives produced a gradual, progressive shrinkage of the decalcified matrix of 26-33%. The shrinkage produced by Single Bond was significantly greater (p<0.05) than that produced by the other adhesives. The UTS of One-Step was significantly higher (<0.05) than that of Prime & Bond NT (42.0+/-13.6 vs 29.7+/-1.9 MPa, respectively), with Single Bond producing intermediate UTS (34.3+/-7.4 MPa). SIGNIFICANCE: If the durability of resin-dentin bonds depends upon the size of interfibrillar spaces for both diffusion channels and resin uptake, then adhesive formulations should be designed to minimize matrix shrinkage during resin infiltration.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this investigation was to determine the influence of intrinsic wetness on regional bond strengths of adhesive resins to dentin. METHODS: Human caries-free third molars were randomly divided into three groups for bonding: Group 1--no pulpal pressure; Group 2--pulpal pressure of 15 cm H2O; and Group 3--dentin dried overnight in a desiccator. Clearfil Liner Bond II (Kuraray) or One Step (Bisco) adhesive resins systems were applied to the flat dentin surfaces and the teeth were restored with APX resin composite (Kuraray). After 24 h in water at 37 degrees C, the specimens were sectioned into 0.7 mm thick slabs and divided into three regional subgroups according to the remaining dentin thickness and visual criteria: pulp horn, center, and periphery. The slabs were then trimmed for the micro-tensile bond test and subjected to a tensile force and crosshead of 1 mm/min. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and Fisher's PLSD test at a confidence level of 95%. The fracture modes were determined under a scanning electron microscope (JXA-840, JEOL, Japan). RESULTS: No significant regional difference was observed for the Group 1 and 2 specimens restored with Clearfil Liner Bond II (p > 0.05). However, bond strengths significantly decreased at the pulp horn region of the Group 1 and 2 specimens restored with One Step (p > 0.01). All bond strengths of Group 3 decreased significantly and regional differences were not evident (p > 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE: The dentin adhesive system should be chosen according to the substrate and region to be bonded, since bond strengths can vary according to the intrinsic wetness, region, and the adhesive system.

Objectives of the study were to compare the capacity of fluoride releasing materials to inhibit in vitro caries formation and to measure the width and height of the inhibition zones. Box-shaped cavities were prepared on bovine root dentine and restored with Fuji II, Fuji II LC. Vitremer, or Clearfil Liner Bond II system with a fluoride releasing composite. After immersion in a buffered demineralizing solution of 50 mmol/L acetic acid adjusted to pH 4.5 for 3 days, longitudinal sections were cut and imbibed in quinoline for analysis under a polarized light microscope (PLM). The contours of the lesions and inhibition zones were traced and their depth, width and height calculated. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Fisher's PLSD test at 95% level of confidence. The polarized light microscopy results showed a distinct inhibition zone adjacent to both conventional and resin-modified glass ionomer cements; however, it was not observed around the adhesive resin system. The width and height of this inhibition zone were significantly greater for Fuji II than for Fuji II LC and Vitremer. An inhibition zone was not observed adjacent to the adhesive resin system with fluoride releasing composite. The resin-modified glass ionomer cements produced less protection against in vitro secondary caries formation than the conventional glass ionomer cement. The recent bonding system that releases fluoride failed to produce an inhibition zone along the cavity wall adjacent to the restoration.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the regional bond strengths of compomers to dentine. METHODS: Thirty freshly extracted molars were ground flat to expose the dentine and randomly divided into two groups for bonding: no hydrostatic pressure and hydrostatic pressure of 15cm H(2)O. Xeno CF, Dyract AP and F 2000 were applied to dentine surfaces pretreated by the respective bonding systems following the manufactures' instructions, and then restored with Clearfil AP-X. After 24h storage in water, the teeth were sectioned into 0.7-mm thick slabs and visually divided into three regional subgroups: the region communicating with the pulp through dentinal tubules (pulp horn); the region between the pulp horns (center); and the region between the pulp horn and DEJ (periphery). The specimens were trimmed to a cross-sectional area of 1mm(2) and subjected to the micro-tensile bond test. The data were analyzed by one- and three-way ANOVA, and Fisher's PLSD (p<0.05). RESULTS: There were no significant regional differences of bond strengths for all the compomers tested (p>0.05). However, hydrostatic pressure significantly decreased the bond strength of F 2000 to all regions (p<0.05), while the bond strength of Dyract AP significantly decreased only at the pulp horn region (p<0.05). On the other hand, the bond strengths of Xeno CF seemed not to be affected by hydrostatic pressure (p>0.05). For Dyract AP and F 2000, the fracture modes were affected by hydrostatic pressure, while, for Xeno CF, there were no significant differences between the fracture modes with non- or positive hydrostatic pressure. SIGNIFICANCE: Simulated pulpal pressure of 15cm H(2)O had a greater influence on the bond strengths of compomers to dentine than did dentine regions. Therefore, when measuring the bond strengths of compomers to dentine under the simulated in vivo conditions, the wetness of the dentine surface, as well as the intrinsic properties of each material should be seriously considered.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that regional differences and pulpal pressure would significantly affect bond strengths of resin-modified glass ionomer cements to dentin. METHODS: Twenty-six extracted caries-free human third molars were ground to expose middle dentin and were randomly divided into two groups for bonding: no pulpal pressure and pulpal pressure of 15cm H(2)O. Fuji II LC, Vitremer, or Photac-Fil Quick were applied to the previously pre-treated surfaces and light-cured as recommended by the manufacturers. After immersion in water at 37 degrees C for 24h, the teeth were sectioned to 0.7mm thick slabs, divided into pulp horn, center, and peripheral regions according to visual criteria, and trimmed along the bonded interface for microtensile bond test to a cross-sectional area of 1mm(2). The slabs were subjected to tensile forces and the data analyzed using ANOVA and Fisher's PLSD at the 95% level of confidence. RESULTS: For Fuji II LC, bond strengths to the pulp horn regions were significantly lower than those to the other regions independent of pulpal pressure (p<0.05). On the other hand, regional bond strengths were not observed for Vitremer and Photac-fil Quick 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Pulpal pressure had a stronger influence on bond strengths and failure modes of resin-modified glass ionomers than regional differences of the substrate.
