Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Background: A silorane based resin composite, Filtek LS restorative, has been introduced to overcome the polymerization shrinkage of the methacrylate based resin composite. The repair of resin composite may hold clinical advantages. Currently, there is no available information regarding the repair potential of silorane resin composite with either silorane or methacrylate based resin composite. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the repaired microtensile bond strength of aged silorane resin composite using different surface treatments and either silorane or methacrylate based resin composite. Methods: One hundred and eight silorane resin composite blocks (Filtek LS) were fabricated and aged by thermocycling between 8oC and 48oC (5000 cycles). A control (solid resin composite) and four surface treatment groups (no treatment, acid treatment, aluminum oxide sandblasting and diamond bur abrasion) were tested. Each treatment group was randomly divided in half and repaired with either silorane resin composite (LS adhesive) or methacrylate based resin composite (Filtek Z250/Single Bond Plus). Specimens were 12 blocks and 108 beams per group. After 24 hours in 37oC distilled water, microtensile bond strength testing was performed using a non-trimming technique. Fracture surfaces were examined using an optical microscopy (20X) to determine failure mode. Data was analyzed using Weibull-distribution survival analysis. Results: Aluminum oxide sandblasting followed by silorane or methacrylate based resin composite and acid treatment with methacrylate based resin composite provided insignificant differences from the control (p>0.05). All other groups were significantly lower than the control. Failure was primarily adhesive in all groups. Conclusion: Aluminum oxide sandblasting produced comparable microtensile bond strength compared to the cohesive strength of silorane resin composite. After aluminum oxide sandblasting, aged silorane resin composite can be repaired with either silorane resin composite with LS system adhesive or methacrylate based resin composite with methacrylate based dentin adhesive.
