It was proposed to be due to the micro-mechanical interlocking based on the use of phosphoric acid to etch the so-called ideal etching pattern etching, at certain conditions. According to the systematically screened 2500 non-duplicated publications, with the inclusion of 175 laboratory studies and 18 clinical trials, phosphoric acid etching was found and is still considered to produce promising bonding on intact enamel surfaces. However, other etching agents, such as poly(acrylic acid), self-etching primers (SEP), non-rinse conditioners and other acids could also contribute to satisfactory bond strengths without creating too high surface roughness, etching depth and/or morphological alteration. Thus, an ideal etching pattern might not be necessary in enamel adhesion. An unduly use of ideal etching pattern in literature to assess the enamel adhesion seems more prone to the flaw observations and vague conclusions. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of enamel adhesion is vital. In this thesis, an ultra-structural investigation based on chemical composition, crystallography, micro-roughness, morphology, micro-hardness and surface tension, on intact human mature enamel with various pretreatment methods were studied, with an ethical approval (HKWC-HKU Cluster REC/IRB document No.: UW13-262). The current study found that phosphoric acid etching by liquids and gels could remove the superficial aprismatic enamel layer. The acid etching could also generate a rougher, softer and porous enamel surface, whilst commercial SEPs that contain 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (10-MDP) and 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphates (HEMA-phosphates) left excess amounts of phosphates onto enamel surfaces and showed a minor demineralization effect. Furthermore, mono-HEMA-phosphate solutions could demonstrate both mild etching and a chemically reactive effect on the intact enamel, particularly when at 40 v/v%. All the pretreatment methods used in this study could effectively increase enamel surface free energy, i.e. physical adsorption deemed to be the critical factor rather than micro-mechanical adhesion in enamel adhesion. Apparently, the measurement of surface free energy was probably more appropriate than morphological examination to evaluate the enamel surface pretreatment method. In addition, due to the insignificant etching effect, the definition of "self-etching" might need to be re-considered. To conclude, the current ultra-structural investigation on various intact human enamel pretreatment methods may offer new insights about the basics and fundamental theory for enamel adhesion. This may yet lead to a better development of primers to serve and enhance clinical dentistry. DOI: 10.5353/th_b5387962 Subjects: Dental enamel - Ultrastructure

Abstract: Abstract 1 ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate effects of metal thicknesses and surface treatment methods on the shear bond strength of a dual cured composite resin bonded to three different ceramo-metal dental alloys: nickel-chromium, high-gold and high-palladium dental alloys. Materials and Methods: A dual-cured adhesive composite resin was used to bond dental metal alloy plates of different thickness, composition and surface treatment to acid etched bovine enamel. The specimens (n=180) were stored in water for 24 hours and then loaded in shear with a universal testing machine to failure and bond strengths were recorded. Results: Using ANOVA, the mean shear bond strength for nickel chromium was found to be significantly higher than the other two noble metals (P0.05). Heat treatment of the noble metals showed no significant difference in bond strength compared with sandblasted samples (P>0.05). There was a significant increase in mean shear bond strength with increase in metal 1 Abstract thickness from 0.5mm to 0.7mm (PConclusion: Within the limitations of this study, resin-bonded metal alloy restorations with thickness of 0.7mm or more are preferred over 0.5mm thickness. The differences in shear bond strength between the two noble alloys and the nickel chromium alloy is likely due to the lack of suitable metal oxide. Heat treatment of precious metal alloys did not increase the bond strength to etched enamel and therefore further studies should investigate the use of copper containing gold and non-gold noble alloys which are thought to create suitable oxides for bonding. The relationship between composition of metal alloy, method of surface treatment and the choice of adhesive primer should be carefully considered before clinical use.

Book Effect of Phosphoric Acid Etching Prior to Application of Self etching Primer  SEP  on Shear Bond Strenght

Download or read book Effect of Phosphoric Acid Etching Prior to Application of Self etching Primer SEP on Shear Bond Strenght written by Grace Shao-Chiu Chen and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of phosphoric acid etching prior to application of self-etching primer on orthodontic bonding in terms of shear bond strength and the adhesive remnant on the enamel surface at debonding. METHODS: Fifty-one extracted human premolars were pumiced, rinsed, dried, and then subjected to three different treatments: Group 1: no phosphoric acid etching + Transbond Plus SEP; Group 2: 15-second etching with 37% phosphoric acid + rinsed + dried + Transbond Plus SEP; Group 3: 30-second etching with 37% phosphoric acid + rinsed + dried + Transbond Plus SEP. Precoated metal brackets (3M Unitek, APC Plus, Victory brackets) were then bonded following the manufacturer's recommendation. An Instron Universal Testing Machine was used to test shear bond strength (SBS) at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Adhesive remnant index (ARI) was assigned to all specimens under a 16 times magnification using a light microscope. RESULTS: One-way repeated measured analysis of variance test (ANOVA) revealed no significant differences in shear bond strength among all three groups. Kruskal Wallis test revealed that there was a significant difference in ARI score between Group 1 when compared to Groups 2 and 3. Two-way analysis of variance was used to examine any statistical difference in frequency of enamel fracture craters among the three groups. CONCLUSION: There was no statistical difference in shear bond strength between the three groups. Most specimens demonstrated adequate shear bond strength (>/= 6 MPa) for routine clinical application. Etching enamel with phosphoric acid prior to the use of Transbond Plus SEP resulted in more adhesive remaining on the enamel surface. The removal of this excess surface cement may lead to increased enamel loss during post debonding clean up.

Book The Effect of Phosphoric Acid Etch in Conjunction with Self etching Primer on Enamel Surfaces and Resultant Orthodontic Bracket Bond Strength

Download or read book The Effect of Phosphoric Acid Etch in Conjunction with Self etching Primer on Enamel Surfaces and Resultant Orthodontic Bracket Bond Strength written by Michael Bruce Olsen and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the methods of preparing the enamel surface for orthodontic bracket adhesion in overcoming pellicle and possible fluid contamination from prebonding cleaning techniques and the effect of these treatments on the enamel surface and resultant bond strength. Shear bond strength testing, Raman linear mapping, and scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate shear bond strength, depth of resin interface, and surface and cross-sectional characteristics respectively. Based on an analysis of variance (a=.05), there was a significant effect of pretreatment enamel conditioning prior to self-etching primer application on shear bond strength. This difference was found to exist solely between the pumice prophylaxis group and the 34% phosphoric acid etch group. No difference was found to exist across all groups with regards to depth of resin penetration. Scanning electron microscopy showed no significant differences in enamel surface or resin/enamel interface characteristics. Results suggest that enamel cleaning techniques prior to SEP application are unnecessary and even deleterious to bond strength and resin penetration.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to determine whether the composite bond strength acquired using a single step self-etching bonding system is as or more effective when compared to the two step etch-rinse-bond system at clinically relevant in-vitro standards. A total of 80 extracted human deciduous with at least one intact smooth surface were collected with parental consent. Collected teeth were randomly assigned to one of four treatment protocols (n=20): single step self-etch (Adper Prompt L-Pop, 3M ESPE), two step etch (15s)-rinse-bond (Optibond Solo Plus, Kerr), single step self etch (Adper L Pop, 3M ESPE) with 30s pre-etch, and two step etch (30s)-rinse-bond (Optibond Solo Plus, Kerr). A composite cylinder of uniform shape was bonded to each tooth using the designated adhesive system and specimens were tested with a universal testing machine. Descriptive statistics and statistical analysis was performed. Median shear bond strengths for all specimens, regardless of treatment group, ranged from 3.25 MPa to 43.13 MPa. These values are above suggested minimum clinical required values of 3MPa. A Kruskal-Wallis analysis between treatment groups found statistical significance (p
