Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the dentin bonding strength evaluation between adult permanent teeth and youth permanent teeth after treatment for different durations by universal adhesives.
METHODS:Ten adult permanent teeth and ten youth permanent teeth were selected for this study. The occlusal enamel layer was removed, and each tooth was cut into three pieces along the long axis. In total, 30 pieces of adult and youth teeth were prepared. The adult and youth teeth pieces were randomly divided into three groups and treated by universal adhesives for 10, 20, and 30 s. In this study, Scotchbond Universal (SBU) was selected as the universal adhesive. Slabs were treated by dual-cure resin cements. The specimens were tested by microshear strength test through a universal testing machine. Fracture modes were observed by a stereomicroscope. Other adult teeth and youth teeth were selected, two for each type, and treated and grouped in the same manner. Fluorescein (0.1% Rhodamine B) was dissolved in SBU adhesive, and the specimens were treated by the adhesives for 10, 20, and 30 s. Micromorphology of the resin protrusions on the adhesive surface was observed by laser confocal microscopy (CLSM).
RESULTS:For the adult teeth, the highest micro-shear bonding strength was observed in the 20 and 30 s groups, and the values were higher than that of the 10 s group (P<0.05). For the youth teeth, the highest micro-shear bonding strength was observed in the 10 and 20 s groups, and the values were higher than that of the 30 s group (P<0.05). The micro-shear bonding strength in the 10 s youth teeth group was higher than that of the 10 s adult teeth (P<0.05) and was same as the adult teeth treated for 20 s (recommendation time of material instructions) (P>0.05). The main break patterns in different groups comprised adhesive failure fractures and several mixed failure fractures. No resin fracture mode was observed. CLSM revealed very few short resin protrusions in 10 s adult teeth group, whereas the number and length of resin protrusions significantly increased in the 20 s adult teeth group. The resin protrusions of the 30 s group were shorter than those of the 20 s adult teeth group. In different durations, the bonding interface in different youth teeth groups presented the same trend of change as the adult teeth. However, the number and length of resin protrusions in the 10 s group of youth teeth were all higher than those of the 10 s adult teeth group.
CONCLUSIONS:In clinical practice, the bonding agent treatment duration shall be shortened appropriately for youth permanent teeth, and that for adult permanent teeth shall not be shortened to less than 20 s. On the whole, the bond strength of youth permanent teeth can achieve no significant difference with the adult permanent teeth.
