OBJECTIVES: The aim of this in-vitro study is to evaluate the effect of different zirconia surface pretreatments, different cement types and the effect of accelerated aging on the adherence of bonding cements to zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 64 zirconia 3Y-TZP tapered rings were pressed from TZ-3YSB-E zirconia powder, pre-treated with different surface treatments, then cemented to titanium abutment pins using 8 different cements: Maxcem Elite chroma (Kerr), TheraCem (Bisco), RelyX Unicem2 (3M ESPE), Multilink Automix (Ivoclar Vivadent), Panavia SA Cement Plus (Kuraray), Ceramir C&B (Doxa), CemEZ Universal (Zest Dental), and Bifix SE (VOCO). The partitally sintered zirconia specimens were divided according to design of experment (DOE). Zirconia surface treatments: 1) control group with no surface treatment, 2) airborne particle abrasion of fully sintered zirconia ring (FS-APA50), 3) airborne particle abrasion of partially sintered zirconia (PS-APA50), 4) tribochemical silica coating of fully sintered zirconia (FS-CoJet30), 5) tribochemical silica coating of partial sintered zirconia (PS-CoJet30), and 6) nano-structured alumina coating of fully sintered zirconia (NanoAl). Zirconia rings were subjected to post-treatment:1) control 24h incubation after cementing proceedure, and 2) accelerated aging . The pull-out axial tensile retention load was tested using an Instron Model 5566A. Multi factorial linear regression model (JMP Pro 15) was used for data analysis (α=0.05). RESULTS: The retention force (N) of zirconia rings to titanium abutment pins was evaluated using a pull-out test. Four key factors were investigated in this study: zirconia surface pre-treatment, cement type, post-treatment and firing effect. There was a significant effect of zirconia surface pre-treatment on retention force (nano-structured alumina coating ≥ tribochemical abrasion = airborne-particle abrasion ≥ control). There was a significant effect of cement type on retention force [Multilink AM ≥ (Cem EZ = TheraCem = Panivia SA = RelyX Unicem2 = BiFix) ≥ Ceramir CB = Maxcem Elite]. There is a significant difference in retention strength to zirconia among post-treatment effect, with accelerated aging groups achieving slightly higher bond strength than 24h water storage groups. CONCLUSIONS: Significant different retention loads were found among tested groups. Nano-structured alumina coating surface pre-treatment has significantly higher bond strength than other treatments. Some cement systems with functional monomer had significant higher bond strengths.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Cementing of indirect restorations with resin cements generally requires the pre-treatment of dentin with an adhesive. When dual-cured or chemical-cured resin cements are used with these single-step adhesives, incompatibility issues exist. This has resulted in manufacturers making chemical changes in their products. Kerr Dental markets a new resin cement, Nexus Third generation (NX3), which utilizes a proprietary redox system different from the second generation of composite luting agent (NX2). The aim of this study was to evaluate microtensile bond strength and mode of failure of NX3 and NX2 with two different adhesive systems (total-etch and self-etch) after 1 week and after 3 months of storage. Methods: Sixty-four non-carious teeth were sectioned to expose the dentin using a low-speed saw. Dentin surfaces were ground with 320-grit SiC paper. The adhesives Optibond Solo Plus (SOL), and Optibond All In One (AIO) were applied, and resin cements (NX2, NX3) were used to lute 4-mm composite discs to the treated dentin surfaces. Microtensile bond strength was determined at 1 week (IM) and after 3 months (3MON) of storage using a universal testing machine (MTS). All specimens were examined under the stereomicroscope to determine the mode of failure. Random specimens from each failure group were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Statistical Analysis: Comparisons between the treatment combinations for differences in microtensile bond strength were performed using Weibull-distribution survival analysis. Comparisons between the treatment combinations for differences in the failure mode were performed using Fisher’s Exact tests. The group NX3 SOL IM (30.5 MPa) had significantly higher bond strength than NX3 SOL 3MON (13.4 MPa); NX3 AIO IM (11.3MPa); NX3 AIO 3MON (8.2 MPa; NX2 AIO 3MON (5.8 MPa); NX2 SOL IM (6.3 MPa), and NX2 SOL 3MON (3.2 MPa). The group NX2 AIO IM (19.3 MPa) was not significantly different from NX3 SOL IM. The group NX2 SOL 3MON and group NX2 SOL IM had a significantly higher percentage of teeth with mixed failure than all of the other groups. None of the other groups had significantly different failure mode. The group NX3 SOL IM had 90-percent beam survival beyond 17 MPa, and NX2 AIO IM had 50 percent of beams surviving beyond 17 MPa, a better performance. For all the other groups, more than 50 percent of beams failed below 17 MPa. Results show high evidence of degradation for all groups considered in this investigation. The use of these types of cement adhesive combinations in clinical situations should be used with this understanding.

A força de adesão entre resinas e ligas de metais básicos resulta do embricamento mecânico entre a superfície do metal e a resina e da interação química entre óxidos presentes na superfície dos metais e monômeros adesivos das resinas compostas. A literatura, entretanto, mostra que ainda persistem algumas dúvidas sobre a interação entre os diversos tipos de sistemas adesivos e metais básicos, por isso, essa pesquisa visa: verificar se a presença do Be na composição de ligas a base de Ni-Cr influencia a união metal básico/resina; comparar dois cimentos resinosos adesivos nessa função e verificar a influência da utilização de condicionadores (primers) adesivos metálicos para ligas nobres sobre essa união. Após 2500 termociclos, foram realizados testes de resistência à tração em 160 corpos-de-prova, que consistiam de dois discos de Ni-Cr-Be (Verabond – Aalba Dental Inc., Cordelia, CA-USA) com 6 mm de diâmetro e 2 mm de espessura cimentados entre si, e dois discos de Ni-Cr (Durabond - Odonto Comercial Importadora Ltda, São Paulo, SP), com as mesmas dimensões, cimentados entre si. Foram utilizadas diferentes marcas comerciais de sistemas adesivos: os cimentos resinosos adesivos, Panavia F (Kuraray Co. Ltd.), Bistite II DC (Tokuyama Corp.) e os agente de união (primers adesivos metálicos), Alloy Primer (Kuraray Co. Ltd. ), Metaltite (Tokuyama Corp.) e Cesead Opaque Primer (Kuraray Co. Ltd.). Discos cimentados sem primers serviram como grupo controle. Os resultados mostraram que houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre as duas ligas (Ni-Cr-Be –24,82 ± 7,6 MPa e Ni-Cr - 22,32 ± 7,9 MPa). Já para os cimentos houve superioridade adesiva do cimento Panavia F, que obteve média de resitência adesiva de 27,49 ± 4,8 MPa, sobre o cimento Bistite II, que obteve média de resistência adesiva de 19,63 ± 8,4 MPa. Os primers utilizados não apresentaram influência positiva sobre o Panavia F já que os grupos sem primer para esse cimento obtiveram média de 28,18 ± 5,6 MPa que é equivalente a média dos outros grupos com Panavia. Entretanto, para o cimento Bistite II DC os primers Alloy Primer e Metaltite obtiveram as menores médias, 12,7 ± 7,6 MPa e 15,71 ± 4,8 MPa respectivamente, enquanto sem primer, ou com o Cesead Opaque Primer, as médias foram significantemente superiores, 24.47 ± 6 MPa e 25.70 ± 6,8 Mpa respectivamente. Diante dos resultados conclui-se que os primers adesivos metálicos não potencializaram a adesão de cimentos resinosos adesivos sobre ligas de Ni-Cr. / The bond strength for resin and basic metals comes from the interaction between oxides in the metal surface and adhesive monomers in the composite resins composition. The literature shows that still are some questions about this interaction so this research intends to: verify if the presence of Be at Ni-Cr alloy plays some influence for this union, compare two resin luting cements at this function and study the influence the use of metal primers for noble metals in this mecanism of adhesion. After 2500 thermocycles, tensile bond strength tests were loaded at 160 specimens, which consisted of two metals discs with 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick from a Ni-Cr-Be alloy (Verabond – Aalba Dental Inc., Cordelia, CA-USA) bonded togheter and two metal discs from a Ni-Cr alloy (Durabond - Odonto Comercial Importadora Ltda, São Paulo, SP) bonded togheter. Diferent brand adhesive systems were used: the resin cements, Panavia F (Kuraray Co. Ltd.) and Bistite II DC (Tokuyama Corp.) and the metal primers, Alloy Primer (Kuraray Co. Ltd.), Metaltite (Tokuyama Corp.) and Cesead Opaque Primer (Kuraray Co. Ltd.). Nonprimed specimens served as control group. The results indicated that there is statiscal diferences beetwen the two alloys (Ni-Cr-Be –24,82 ± 7,6 MPa e Ni-Cr - 22,32 ± 7,9 MPa). Panavia F had founded greater bond strength (27,49 ± 4,8 MPa) than Bistite DC (19,63 ± 8,4 MPa). The metal primers did not show any positive influence for the Panavia bond strength when we considere that the no primer group had 28,18 ± 5,6 MPa bond strength media which were equivalente to the others Panavia´s groups. However for the Bistite cement, the bond strength for Alloy primer and Metaltite were the lower medias, 12,7 ± 7,6 MPa and 15,71 ± 4,8 MPa respectivally, while the no primer or the Cesead Opaque Primer groups showed superior medias 24,47 ± 6 MPa and 25,70 ± 6,8 MPa respectivally. The outcome of this research shows that the metal primers used did not incresead the bond strength between resin cements and Ni-Cr alloys.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a translucidez de diferentes cores da cerâmica, o grau de conversão de diferentes cores do agente de fixação resinoso e a resistência de união entre a cerâmica e a dentina, variando as cores da cerâmica e do agente de fixação e o tempo de fotoativação. A hipótese é que quanto mais escuros o agente de fixação resinoso e a cerâmica, menor translucidez, menor conversão dos monômeros, mais baixa será a resistência adesiva, portanto maior tempo necessário para fotoativação. Três discos da cerâmica Vita VM7 com dimensão de 20 x 2 mm nas cores Base Dentine 0M1, Base Dentine 2M2 e Base Dentine 5M3 e dois discos com 20 x 2,5 mm da mesma cerâmica nas cores Base Dentine 0M1 e Base Dentine 5M3 foram usados para determinar a percentagem de translucidez através do espectrofotômetro MiniScan. Para se obter o grau de conversão (GC), os cp do agente de fixação (Variolink II; A3 Amarelo e transparente; espessura: 100 μm) foram fotoativados sob um bloco cerâmico (espessura: 2 mm; Base Dentine 0M1, Base Dentine 2M2 e Base Dentine 5M3) por 20 ou 40 s. Cp fotoativados sem o bloco cerâmico foram usados como controle. Dezesseis grupos (n=3) foram avaliados. Espectrometria de Micro- ATR/FTIR foi utilizada para avaliar a extensão da polimerização de todos os cp depois de 24 h. A %GC foi calculada e os dados foram analisados através de ANOVA 1-fator e teste de Tukey ( =0,05). Para avaliar adesão, a dentina da superfície oclusal de 80 molares humanos hígidos foi exposta e condicionada com ácido fosfórico 37% e adesivo (Excite DSC). Oitenta blocos (7,2 x 7,2 x 2,5 mm) da mesma cerâmica, nas cores Base Dentine 0M1 e Base Dentine 5M3, foram confeccionados de acordo com as instruções do fabricante. A superfície cerâmica foi tratada com ácido fluorídrico 10% por 60 s e silanizada. Os blocos cerâmicos de cada cor foram cimentados...

The hypothesis is the darker the resin cement and ceramic, lower the translucency; the lower the degree of monomers conversion, lower the bond strength, then the activation time should be higher. Three discs of Vita VM7 ceramic with 20 x 2 mm and shades: Base Dentine 0M1, Base Dentine 2M2 and Base Dentine 5M3, and two discs with 20 x 2.5 mm of the same ceramic and shades: Base Dentine 0M1 and Base Dentine 5M3 were used to determine the translucency percentage of each sp using the MiniScan espectrophotometer. For measure the degree of conversion (DC), the resin cement (Variolink II; A3 Yellow and transparent) specimens (thickness: 100 μm) were photocured under a ceramic block (2mm-thick; Base Dentine 0M1, Base Dentine 2M2 and Base Dentine 5M3) for 20 or 40 s. Specimen photocured without the ceramic block were used as control. Sixteen groups (n=3) were evaluated. Micro-ATR/FTIR spectrometry was used to evaluate the extent of polymerization of all sp after 24 h. The %DC was calculated and the data were analyzed using ANOVA 1-way and Tukey test ( =0,05). For the microtensile bond strength test, the occlusal dentin surface of eighty molars were exposed and etched with 37% phosphoric acid and an adhesive (Excite DSC) was applied. Eighty blocks (7.2 x 7.2 x 2.5 mm) of Base Dentine 0M1 and Base Dentine 5M3 of Vita VM7 ceramic were produced according to the manufacturers. The ceramic surface was etched with 10% hydrofluoric acid for 60 s, followed by the application of a silane agent and a dualcured resin cement (Variolink II; base and catalyst: A3 Yellow; base and catalyst: transparent), according to the manufacturers' ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Orientador: Estevão Tomomitsu Kimpara / Coorientador: Amin Sami Rizkalla / Banca: Anderson Pinheiro de Freitas / Banca: Marco Antonio Bottino / Banca: Mario Alexandre Coelho Sinhoreti / Banca: Paula Komori / Doutor

New trademarks appear on the dental market every year and it is difficult to determine whether they should be used in clinical praxis or not. Numerous studies have been carried out to investigate different types of materials, trying to declare which material is best suited for a certain type of restorations. The study objective was to investigate if there are any differences in the shear bond strength between a self-adhesive cement and an yttrium oxide-stabilized zirconium dioxide (Y-TZP) and a dental cobalt-chromium alloy (Co-Cr).  The null hypothesis was used. The hypothesis was that the shear bond strengths was the same when cementing the adhesive cement to the dental Co-Cr alloy and the yttrium oxide-stabilized zirconium dioxide. Twenty plastic embedded samples were used in this study, 10 specimens of Co-Cr alloy, and 10 specimens of Y-TZP. The cement was applied, and the specimen were stored in water of 37°C for 24 hr. The tests were performed with an UltraTester™ with the speed of 1 mm / min to measure the shear bond strength (SBS) between the adhesive cement, the Y-TZP and the Co-Cr alloy. The values where then registered. The mean value of the shear bond strength for adhesive cement and Y-TZP was 23.5 MPa, and for Co-Cr alloy 22.8 MPa. No significant difference in shear bond strength were found between the adhesive cement and the Y-TZP and the Co-Cr alloy, after being stored in water for 24 hrs, p > 0.05.

O propósito deste estudo foi avaliar a interface de união entre cimento resinoso auto-adesivo à dentina submetida à erosão in vitro. Setenta e dois terceiros molares humanos foram utilizados e divididos em dois grupos: grupo 1 (dentina normal) e grupo 2 (dentina erodida). Para a obtenção da erosão in vitro foi empregado um protocolo, no qual os espécimes ficaram imersos em solução desmineralizante , 2 minutos por ciclo, e em solução remineralizante , 10 minutos por ciclo, ao longo de 9 dias. Na sequência, ambos os grupos foram submetidos a quatro tratamentos de superfície dentinária: grupo controle (sem tratamento), clorexidina 2%, ácido poliacrílico 20%, e EDTA 0,1M (n=9), previamente ao processo de união. Blocos de resina composta TPH foram cimentados com cimento resinoso auto-adesivo RelyX U200 às superfícies dentinárias. Os dentes foram submetidos à cortadeira de precisão, onde obteve-se amostras em forma de palitos, os quais foram submetidos ao teste de microtração para avaliar a resistência de união entre o cimento resinoso e dentina, 24 horas e 8 meses após o procedimento de união. Associada a microtração, a análise do padrão de fratura dessas interfaces foi realizada em microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Em amostras distintas, foram obtidas fatias longitudinais dos dentes, sendo três espécimes de cada grupo, os quais foram avaliados em microscopia confocal (MC), para análise qualitativa da interface dentina/cimento. Os resultados mostraram que a dentina previamente erodida apresentou considerável aumento na densidade e profundidade de tags resinosos em relação à dentina normal para os diferentes grupos, embora pouca diferença nos valores de resistência de união tenha sido encontrada. Os diferentes tipos de tratamentos realizados em dentina, de uma forma geral, aumentaram os valores de resistência de união em comparação ao grupo controle. O armazenamento das amostras em saliva artificial por 8 meses, parece não ter sido suficiente para causar uma significativa degradação da interface adesiva. / Considering the significant increase of erosive lesions and the need for studies to evaluate the adhesion on a eroded substrate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bonding interface between self-adhesive resin cement to in vitro eroded dentin. Seventy-two third molars were used and divided into two groups: group 1 (sound dentin) and group 2 (eroded dentin). The in vitro erosion was created following a demineralization protocol, in which the specimens of group 2 were immersed in demineralizing solutions 2 minutes per cycle, and in remineralizing solution, 10 minutes per cycle, during 9 days. Both groups were submitted to four dentin surface treatments: control group (without any treatment), 2% chlorhexidine, 20% polyacrylic acid, and 0,1M EDTA pH 7.4 (n=9). TPH resin-based composite blocks were bonded with RelyX U200 self-adhesive resin cement on the pretreated dentin surfaces. The teeth were submitted to precision cutter, thus obtaining samples forms of sticks. The samples were submitted to microtensile bonding test to evaluate the bonding strength between selfadhesive resin cement to dentin, 24 hours and 8 months after the bonding procedure. The fractured samples were evaluated in scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to classify the fracture pattern of these interfaces. Finally, three specimens of each group were longitudinal cut and obtained three slices per group and evaluating by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), with the purpose to analyze qualitatively the dentin/cement interface. The results showed that the etched dentin showed significant increase in density and depth of resinous tags compared to sound dentin, although little difference in bond strength values has been found. Different types of treatments performed on dentin, in general, increased the bonding strength values compared to the control group. The storage of the samples in artificial saliva for 8 months, seems to have been not enough to cause significant degradation of the adhesive interface. / FAPESP: 2014/11734-8

The literature shows that still are some questions about this interaction so this research intends to: verify if the presence of Be at Ni-Cr alloy plays some influence for this union, compare two resin luting cements at this function and study the influence the use of metal primers for noble metals in this mecanism of adhesion. After 2500 thermocycles, tensile bond strength tests were loaded at 160 specimens, which consisted of two metals discs with 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick from a Ni-Cr-Be alloy (Verabond – Aalba Dental Inc., Cordelia, CA-USA) bonded togheter and two metal discs from a Ni-Cr alloy (Durabond - Odonto Comercial Importadora Ltda, São Paulo, SP) bonded togheter. Diferent brand adhesive systems were used: the resin cements, Panavia F (Kuraray Co. Ltd.) and Bistite II DC (Tokuyama Corp.) and the metal primers, Alloy Primer (Kuraray Co. Ltd.), Metaltite (Tokuyama Corp.) and Cesead Opaque Primer (Kuraray Co. Ltd.). Nonprimed specimens served as control group. The results indicated that there is statiscal diferences beetwen the two alloys (Ni-Cr-Be –24,82 ± 7,6 MPa e Ni-Cr - 22,32 ± 7,9 MPa). Panavia F had founded greater bond strength (27,49 ± 4,8 MPa) than Bistite DC (19,63 ± 8,4 MPa). The metal primers did not show any positive influence for the Panavia bond strength when we considere that the no primer group had 28,18 ± 5,6 MPa bond strength media which were equivalente to the others Panavia´s groups. However for the Bistite cement, the bond strength for Alloy primer and Metaltite were the lower medias, 12,7 ± 7,6 MPa and 15,71 ± 4,8 MPa respectivally, while the no primer or the Cesead Opaque Primer groups showed superior medias 24,47 ± 6 MPa and 25,70 ± 6,8 MPa respectivally. The outcome of this research shows that the metal primers used did not incresead the bond strength between resin cements and Ni-Cr alloys.

Abstract  Aim: To determine the shear bond strength of two commercially available self-adhesive resin cements on four different materials and to analyse the degree of conversion (DC) of those resin cements.  Materials and Methods: A total of 45 embedded specimens made of four different materials were prepared for the notched-edge shear bond strength test. Ten specimens each of resin composite, glass-ionomer, zirconia and 15 of human dentine. Pillars of two different self-adhesive resin cements were luted onto these specimens. Five of the dentine specimens were treated with Katana Cleaner before being luted with Panavia. A single sample from each self-adhesive resin cement was used to determine the DC using ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy. The samples were measured uncured, right after being light cured and 10 min thereafter. Results: The highest shear bond strength values were seen for RelyX, irrespective of the material tested. This difference was statistically significant. No statistically significant difference was seen between the dentine specimens pre-treated with Katana Cleaner and luted with Panavia, compared to no pre-treatment. No statistically significant differences were found regarding DC between Panavia and RelyX.  Conclusion: The bond between the dental materials and the tooth structure is extremely important for the longevity of the restoration. The bond strength of RelyX for all materials tested were 2.1 to 37.5 times higher than that for Panavia and the differences were statistically significant. Panavia had virtually no bonding to the dentine in this study which might be due to the treatment of the dentine. The differences regarding the degree of conversion between the two resin cements were not statistically significant. However, the DC 10 min after curing was 1.3 times higher than directly after curing for both resins.
