Four-year Water Degradation of Total-etch Adhesives Bonded to Dentin

Abstract

Resin-dentin bonds degrade over time. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of variables like hybridization effectiveness and diffusion/elution of interface components on degradation. Hypotheses tested were: (1) There is no difference in degradation over time between two- and three-step total-etch adhesives; and (2) a composite-enamel bond protects the adjacent composite-dentin bond against degradation. The micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) to dentin of 2 three-step total-etch adhesives was compared with that of 2 two-step total-etch adhesives after 4 years of storage in water. Quantitative and qualitative failure analyses were conducted correlating Fe-SEM and TEM. Indirect exposure to water did not significantly reduce the μTBS of any adhesive, while direct exposure resulted in a significantly reduced μTBS of both two-step adhesives. It is concluded that resin bonded to enamel protected the resin-dentin bond against degradation, while direct exposure to water for 4 years affected bonds produced by two-step total-etch adhesives.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
