Self-etch adhesive (SEA) systems simplify bonding procedures. It is believed that good mechanical retention and chemical bonding are both important factors to obtain reliable bonding to enamel. The enamel acid-base resistant zone (ABRZ) has been confirmed at the adhesive/enamel interface by scanning electron microscopic observation. However, the formation of enamel ABRZ is influenced by the type and components of adhesive systems. Chemical interactions by a functional monomer with hydroxyapatite strongly support the explanation of the mechanism for enamel ABRZ formation. The ABRZ created by MDP-containing SEA systems has shown good potential to resist acid attack from simulated recurrent caries models. In addition, fluoride release may enhance acid resistance. It has been proposed that such a reinforced enamel be termed “Super Enamel”. The concept of the formation of super enamel may contribute to protecting enamel, and conserve tooth structure leading to improved restoration longevity.

This study investigated factors associated with the longevity of resin composite restorations, which were placed in 97 patients (mean age of 58 years) by 24 dentists in Nagasaki University Hospital between 1995 and 2005. All patients were under the charge of the principal investigator (SK) and most of them had been regularly checked up for up to 11 years. A total of 503 resin composite restorations (433 by SK and 70 by the other dentists) were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier and the Cox proportional hazards model. Ten-year survival rates were 84.2% for SK and 71.8% for the others, showing a significant difference. Although the retreatment risk had a great influence on the survival time, gender and age at placement did not have. There were no significant differences in survival between conventional 2-step etch-and-rinse, 2-step self-etch adhesives with and without prior enamel etching. Cavity type had a significant influence, whereas tooth type had no effect.

The aim was to synthesize a toothpaste and analyze its effect on surface micro-hardness and roughness of enamel. Basic paste was prepared by using basic ingredients. Theobromine (0.2 wt%) and laboratory synthesized fluoridated-bioactive glass (F-BG, 4 wt%) were added to it. Post-demineralization, 36 enamel blocks were divided into six groups that were brushed with their respective toothpaste+artificial saliva (AS): group 1 (control): basic paste; group 2: basic paste+theobromine; group 3: commercial theobromine toothpaste; group 4: commercial BG toothpaste; group 5: basic paste+F-BG; and group 6: basic paste+theobromine+F-BG. On micro-hardness analysis, group 6 performed best, followed by group 4. Surface roughness results showed the maximum decrease in roughness values for group 6, followed by group 5. Treatment with toothpaste composition containing theobromine+F-BG resulted in the enamel’s increased micro-hardness and decreased surface roughness.

This study investigated the influence of roughening procedures and application of primers on shear bond strengths of CAD/CAM composite resin material or ceramic material to zirconia frameworks. A CAD/CAM composite resin block (Katana Avencia Block; AVE) and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic block (IPS e.max CAD; IEC) were used as veneer materials. The veneers were divided into three surface treatment groups; HF, hydrofluoric acid etching; AB, airborne-particle abrasion; and CON, no surface treatment. Each veneer was primed with four agents: Clearfil Porcelain Bond Activator (ACT), Clearfil Photo Bond (CPB), Clearfil Photo Bond with Porcelain Bond Activator (CPB+ACT), and no priming (UP). The zirconia frameworks and AVE or IEC veneers were resin-bonded. In the AVE specimen, AB treatment showed significantly higher shear bond strength than the other treatments at 0 and 20,000 thermocycles, except for UP and CPB+ACT groups at 20,000 thermocycles. Airborne-particle abrasion is necessary for resin bonding to Avencia blocks.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the surface damages of zirconia by Nd:YAG dental laser irradiation through a systematic evaluation of the associated microstructural changes. Disk specimens of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) and ceria-stabilized zirconia/alumina nanocomposite (Ce-TZP/Al2O3 nanocomposite) were irradiated by Nd:YAG dental laser. The specimens were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Every single irradiated spot was indicated by a circular black pit surrounded by a circular raised rim with a sunken depression at the center. On surface changes, many cracks were formed inside each irradiated pit. On changes in elemental composition, the concentration of oxygen decreased while that of zirconium increased. After heating in air, the assembly of circular black pits turned white, although the depression and raised rim remained. This study showed that Nd:YAG dental laser irradiation induced cracking and reduced oxygen content on the surface of zirconia. Consequently, these phenomena reduced the mechanical strength of zirconia. Therefore, Nd:YAG dental laser welding should not be performed on tetragonal zirconia.

This study evaluated the effect of different adhesive protocols on the shear bond strength (SBS) of bulk-fill resin composite repaired with bulk-fill or conventional composite. Cylindrical bulk-fill resin composite specimens were prepared and allocated into groups according to the bonding strategy: no treatment, Silane+Scotch Bond Multipurpose (S+SBMP), Tetric N Bond Universal, and Single Bond Universal. Following bonding strategy, bulk-fill or conventional composite buildups were performed. After 24 h of storage in distilled water at 37°C, shear force was applied to the interface using a universal testing machine. The data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (α=0.05). SBS was influenced by the bonding strategy and the composite used (p<0.001). Irrespective of the composite used, the group S+SBMP yielded the highest SBS values (p<0.001). Repair bond strength of bulk-fill composites can be improved by using a silane coupling agent followed by a hydrophobic resin.

The purpose of this study was to perform a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the biofilms formed on framework alloys in vitro. The biofilms formed by unfiltered fresh human saliva or Streptococcus mutans and/or Candida albicans on commercially pure titanium and gold-copper-platinum demonstrated higher amounts than other alloy and resin samples. In contrast, the silverpalladium-copper-gold showed a significantly decreased level of biofilm formation. Although the adhesion level of Streptococcus mutans on cobalt-chromium was high, that of Candida albicans was less extensive. A T-RFLP analysis and qualitative PCR of the microbes in the biofilms were performed. In a cluster analysis of all T-RFLP profiles, the cobalt-chromium pattern was integrated into one cluster. On qualitative PCR, the existence of microorganisms related to caries, preriodontitis and aspiration pneumonia was observed. Our results showed that the biofilm formation on each framework alloy was different in terms of both the quantity and quality.

We considered Class II dental cavities in critical tooth areas concerned with vital pulp therapy, and evaluated the marginal gap after treatment with Biodentine and Geristore, and one composite after either etching and adhesive (V2) and after use of a self-etching system (iBond Universal). We measured the surface morphology at the marginal gap by optical profilometry, and carried out analysis of the 3D data according to a new effective definition of marginal gap. The defined quantity was assessed for statistical significance of the apparent differences. The largest gaps appeared for Geristore (first) and Biodentine (not significantly lower), whereas the gaps of the composite controls were both lower, the lowest being the two-step self-etched system with respect to the three-steps etched and adhesive system, yet without statistical significance. Obviously, there is still room for improvement of the vital pulp therapy restorative materials, as compared to the use of standard composite systems.

Forming models and brazing parts, both of which require high accuracy, are greatly affected the polymerization shrinkage of pattern resin. In 2018, a lower-shrinkage autopolymerizing pattern resin (PRK) was introduced. In this work, we compared the rate of polymerization shrinkage between PRK with that of three autopolymerizing resins —GC Pattern Resin (GPR), Pi-Ku Plast (PIK), and Fixpeed (FIX)— as controls. The shrinkage percentages at 10 min were 7.26±0.88 for PRK, 10.78±2.28 for GPR, 8.03±1.08% for PIK, and 7.46±1.25 for FIX. The shrinkage of PRK was significantly lower than that of GPR. The lower-shrinkage autopolymerizing resin contains some multifunctional monomer and indicated that the amount of monomer was accordingly reduced from the result of polymer size and abundance ratio. Our results suggested that the monomer component and the polymer particle size were factors that contribute to reducing contraction of the resins.

To investigate the effect of luting agent type on fracture loads of implant-supported ceramic prostheses in premolar region. Ninety-nine implant-abutment complexes were divided into three different implant-supported prostheses: monolithic yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ) restorations (MPZ specimens), porcelain layered on yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) restorations (PLZ specimens), and monolithic lithium disilicate ceramic restorations (MLD specimens). Implant-supported prostheses were luted with adhesive resin luting agent (RLA), glass ionomer cement (GIC), or zinc phosphate cement (ZPC). For MPZ and MLD specimens, fracture loads were significantly higher for RLA group than for GIC and ZPC groups. For PLZ specimens, fracture loads did not significantly differ in relation to luting agent. Fracture loads were significantly higher for MPZ specimens than for other test specimens, regardless of luting agent. Use of an adhesive resin luting agent is recommended for placement of premolar implant-supported monolithic Y-PSZ and lithium disilicate ceramic prostheses.

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of different surface treatments of CAD/CAM composite blocks on bonding effectiveness of resin cements, based on the shear bond strength test and the surface science examination. Specimens were fabricated from two types of CAD/CAM composite blocks (Cerasmart and VITA Enamic), and the specimen surfaces were alumina sandblasted. Specimen surfaces were treated with i) silane, ii) primer, and iii) silane+primer, then two types of cements (Block HC Cem and Super Bond) were bonded. After 24 h storage, bond strengths were measured. Surface free energy measurements were performed of the treated CAD/CAM composite blocks surfaces. The groups ii) and iii) showed significantly higher bond strengths than the group i), apart from VITA Enamic with Block HC Cem. Although the total surface free energy showed different trends in different surface treatments, a similar trend was found in both CAD/CAM composite blocks.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the combined effect of two-liquid silane-phosphate primer and single-liquid sodium sulfite primer on bonding between self-polymerizing resins and feldspathic ceramics, and to promote the polymerization behavior of self-polymerizing resins at the bonding interface. The silane-phosphate primer (Super-Bond PZ Primer; PZ) and the sodium sulfite primer (Teeth Primer; TP) were used as the surface treatment agents for bonding the feldspathic ceramics and the self-polymerizing resins (MMA-TBB resin and 4-META/MMA-TBB resin). Combined PZ and TP showed high shear bond strengths. The peak of the differential scanning calorimetry curve was shown to occur early through the addition of TP. These results indicated that additional TP promoted the conversion in the initial polymerization of resin, and the firmly bond was obtained at the interface. PZ+TP treatment can be regarded as an effective treatment for a temporary splint used in teeth restoration.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of contemporary flowable and paste-like bulk-fill dental composites by using a real-time cell analysis. In the present paper, cytotoxicity levels of five flowable, five paste-like bulk-fill composite materials and one conventional flowable, one conventional paste-like resin composite were examined on L929 mouse fibroblast cell line. After seeding 25,000 cells/300 μL/well cell suspensions into the wells of an E-plate, test materials were added and observed at every 30 min intervals for 72 h. Kruskal Wallis H and Mann Whitney U multiple comparison tests were used to analyze the results. Pre-reacted glass-ionomer (PRG) containing bulk-fill composites were severely toxic at all time points (24, 48 and 72 h, p<0.05). None of the tested composites demonstrated high cell viability (>70%) at 48 and 72 h. Flowable and paste-like composites of the same brand exhibited similar cytotoxic properties (p>0.05).

The experimental bioactive sealers were synthesized by incorporating fluoridated-nano-bioactive glass (F-nBG; 2.5 and 5wt%) in AH Plus® (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany) sealer and denoted as AH-FBG2.5 and AH-FBG5, respectively. Structural pattern, setting time, flowability, and water sorption analysis were performed. The fluoride release behavior was evaluated periodically over the course of 40 days using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. For sealing ability, post-extraction single-rooted teeth were obturated with sealers. The percentage of voids and sealing ability were evaluated periodically using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) followed by push-out bond strength. The Fourier transform infrared spectra showed a change in peak height with an increase in the concentration of fillers. The setting time, flowability, and water sorption of experimental groups were within the acceptable clinical range. The fluoride release, sealing ability, and bond strength of experimental sealers were significantly high. The experimental sealers have potential to overcome sealing ability issues of sealers.

Application of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles to repair damaged enamel has attracted recent attention. In this study, HAp nanoparticles with various morphologies (spherical, short-rod, long-rod and fiber morphologies) were synthesized via chemical precipitation methods without the addition of template molecules, and the adsorption/desorption behaviors of a cationic antibacterial agent, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), on the HAp nanoparticles were evaluated. The adsorption of CPC on each HAp nanoparticle showed Langmuir-type adsorption, and the short-rod/long-rod HAp nanoparticles showed thermodynamically more stable adsorption of CPC than that with the spherical/fiber HAp nanoparticles. The desorption rate of CPC from the short-rod/long-rod HAp nanoparticles was slower than that of the spherical/fiber HAp nanoparticles. The HAp nanoparticles with different CPC release profiles presented here have potential applications as nanoparticulate enamel repair agents with antibacterial properties.

This study aimed to determine the role of the 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) in dentin bond durability of universal adhesive in etch-&-rinse mode through bond strength tests after different degradation conditions. This study used the MDP-containing universal adhesive, Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (CU), and an experimental adhesive (NM) made with the same ingredients as CU, excluding MDP. Shear bond strength (SBS) to dentin were obtained in etch-&-rinse mode with or without MDP. CU in self-etch mode was used as a comparison. The groups were divided into three types: 1) subjected to thermal cycling; 2) subjected to long-term water storage; and 3) stored in water for 24 h, as a baseline. The discrepancies in the mean SBS of the CU and NM groups become prominent with prolonged degradation periods. This study indicates that the MDP in universal adhesive might play a key role in enhancing dentin bond quality even when etch-&-rinse mode is used.

Chemical transitions after atmospheric pressure plasma irradiation were investigated by evaluating intermolecular attractions and atomic and molecular reactions. Gold, titanium and stainless-steel alloy samples were ground with #800 grit SiC waterproof paper and nitrogen gas atmospheric plasma irradiation was conducted. The surface free energies of the treated alloys were calculated and compared statistically. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was performed.The surface free energies of all metal surfaces treated by plasma irradiation were 1.5-times higher than those of the untreated metals. The energy of the hydrogen bonding component increased, and all alloy surfaces were coated with metal oxide after only a short period of plasma irradiation. The surfaces oxidized by plasma exhibited a high active energy, mainly due to an increase in the hydrogen bonding component. Reactions with oxygen in the air were promoted on the clean surfaces with exposed reactive elements.

We investigated the influence of different curing modes on the mechanical properties and wear behavior of dual-cure provisional resin-based composites (DCPRs). Three DCPRs and a self-curing bis-acryl provisional resin-based composite were used. Flexural strength (σF), elastic modulus (E), resilience (R), and fracture toughness (KIC) were measured. The specimens were fabricated with and without light irradiation, stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 h, and subjected to 5,000 or 10,000 thermal cycles. For sliding impact wear testing, 12 specimens were prepared with and without light irradiation. The maximum facet depth and volume loss were determined using a noncontact profilometer. Some of the mechanical properties and wear behavior of DCPRs are affected by light irradiation. This study indicated that proper light irradiation is important in polymerization process of the DCPRs to enhance the wear resistance and some mechanical properties.

The development of effective methods to disinfect biofilms on dental materials is medically important. This study evaluated the bactericidal effects of peroxynitric acid (HOONO2; PNA) on biofilms formed on titanium surfaces. Streptococcus gordonii was cultured on either machined or rough titanium discs that were then used to evaluate the bactericidal effects of seven reagents, i.e., normal saline, benzalkonium chloride disinfectant solution, chlorhexidine digluconate solution, three concentration types of PNA, and inactivated PNA. Using low concentration of PNA, the bacterial count based on a CFU assay reached an undetectable level within 10 s; this bactericidal effect was the strongest observed for the seven tested reagents. Thus, PNA may be more useful than other disinfectants for sterilizing biofilms on titanium surfaces that have been contaminated with bacteria.

This study evaluated shear bond strengths of two gingiva-colored layering resin composites to zirconia frameworks coated with feldspathic porcelain. Airborne-particle abraded porcelain-coated zirconia disks were treated with one of the following primers: Clearfil Photo Bond, Clearfil Photo Bond with Clearfil Porcelain Bond Activator (CPB+Activator), Estenia Opaque Primer, Porcelain Liner M Liquid B (PLB), or no primer. A light-polymerizing (CER) or a photo/heat-polymerizing gingiva-colored indirect resin composite (EST) was bonded to the porcelain-coated zirconia disks in each group (n=11). Shear bond strength was measured. For both CER and EST specimens, bond strengths in CPB+Act group were significantly higher than those in the other groups. In all priming groups, bond strength was significantly higher for EST specimens than for CER specimens. Combined application of a phosphate monomer and silane enhanced initial bond strength of light-polymerized and photo/heat-polymerized gingiva-colored layering resin composites to porcelain-coated zirconia ceramics.
