Abstract
Tooth decay (dental caries) commonly occurs throughout the world and is one of the most widespread infectious diseases of lifestyle, globally affecting all age groups; up to 90% schoolchildren and almost 100% adults in both developing and developed countries. When left untreated, it can lead to disease outbreaks resulting in advere-health and life-threatening conditions such as endocarditis or sepsis. Undoubtedly, basic measures are thus required in both dental and GP practice to ensure that dental caries are detected early. This article presents the various diagnostic methods used to identify these disease outbreaks.

Improving Properties of an Experimental Universal Adhesive by Adding a Multifunctional Dendrimer (G-IEMA): Bond Strength and Nanoleakage Evaluation. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14071462. [PMID: 35406335 PMCID: PMC9002522 DOI: 10.3390/polym14071462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
A vast number of adhesive formulations exist currently. However, available adhesives still have several drawbacks such as increased hydrophilicity, polymerization deficiency, potential cytotoxicity and limited monomer interdiffusion within dentin. To improve material properties, a Bisphenol A-free adhesive containing a novel dendrimer G(2)-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate (G-IEMA) in replacement of Bis-GMA was made and tested. Sound human molars were sectioned to expose mid-coronal dentin, which was bonded using four adhesives—Futurabond, Scotchbond Universal and experimentals EM1 and EM2. The experimental adhesive EM2 contained G-IEMA, while EM1 had Bis-GMA. Groups were further allocated to two different adhesive strategies: etch-and-rinse (20 s etching) or self-etch. Immediate (24 h) microtensile bond strength to dentin (n = 5) was tested using a universal testing machine (1 mm/min, 5 kN; Shimadzu AGS-X Autograph, Tokyo, Japan), while the ultrastructure of the interface (n = 2) was assessed using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Nanoleakage expression was evaluated using silver nitrate penetration and posterior SEM-EDS analysis (n = 3). Linear mixed models/Generalized models were used for inferential statistics (5% significance level). Bond strength results did not depend on the adhesive choice, although differences were found between strategies (p < 0.001). Regarding nanoleakage, when applied in an etch-and-rinse mode, experimental adhesives scored lower nanoleakage means than Futurabond and Scotchbond Universal. The novel adhesive shows interesting interfacial properties, with favorable nanoleakage results and a bond strength to dentin that matches current commercial adhesives.

Abstract
The interfaces that biological tissues form with biomaterials are invariably defective and frequently the location where failure initiates. Characterizing the phenomena that lead to failure is confounded by several factors including heterogeneous material/tissue interfaces. To seamlessly analyze across these diverse structures presents a wealth of analytical challenges. This study aims to develop a molecular-level understanding of a peptide-functionalized adhesive/collagen hybrid biomaterial using Raman spectroscopy combined with chemometrics approach. An engineered hydroxyapatite-binding peptide (HABP) was copolymerized in dentin adhesive and dentin was demineralized to provide collagen matrices that were partially infiltrated with the peptide-functionalized adhesive. Partial infiltration led to pockets of exposed collagen-a condition that simulates defects in adhesive/dentin interfaces. The spectroscopic results indicate that co-polymerizable HABP tethered to the adhesive promoted remineralization of the defects. The spatial distribution of collagen, adhesive, and mineral as well as crystallinity of the mineral across this heterogeneous material/tissue interface was determined using micro-Raman spectroscopy combined with chemometrics approach. The success of this combined approach in the characterization of material/tissue interfaces stems from its ability to extract quality parameters that are related to the essential and relevant portions of the spectral data, after filtering out noise and non-relevant information. This ability is critical when it is not possible to separate components for analysis such as investigations focused on, in situ chemical characterization of interfaces. Extracting essential information from complex bio/material interfaces using data driven approaches will improve our understanding of heterogeneous material/tissue interfaces. This understanding will allow us to identify key parameters within the interfacial micro-environment that should be harnessed to develop durable biomaterials.

Abstract
The objective was to formulate and analyze a dentin adhesive incorporated with graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticle and calcium phosphate (CaP) composite. Methods comprising of scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), micro-Raman spectroscopy, shear bond strength (SBS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to characterize nanoparticle composite, dentin bond toughness, degree of conversion (DC), and adhesive-dentin interaction. Postsynthesis of GO nanoparticles, they were functionalized with CaP using standard process. The GO-CaP composite was not added to experimental adhesive (negative control group, GO-CaP-0%), and added at 2.5 and 5 wt% to yield GO-CaP-2.5% and GO-CaP 5% groups, respectively. Teeth were set to form bonded samples utilizing adhesives in three groups for SBS testing, with and without thermocycling. The homogenous diffusion of GO-CaP composite was verified in the adhesive. Resin tags having standard penetrations were observed on SEM micrographs. The EDX analysis confirmed the occurrence of calcium, phosphorus, and carbon ions in the composite containing adhesives. The SBS test revealed highest mean values for GO-CaP-5% followed by GO-CaP-2.5%. The FTIR spectra verified the presence of apatite peaks and the micro-Raman spectra showed characteristic D and G bands for GO nanoparticles. GO-CaP composite in dentin adhesive may improve its bond strength. The addition of 5 wt% resulted in a bond strength that was superior to all other groups. GO-CaP-5% group demonstrated lower DC (to control), uniform distribution of GO and CaP composite within adhesive, appropriate dentin interaction, and resin tag formation.

Abstract
The aim was to synthesize and characterize an adhesive incorporating HA and GO nanoparticles. Techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS), and micro-Raman spectroscopy were employed to investigate bond durability, presence of nanoparticles inside adhesive, and dentin interaction. Control experimental adhesive (CEA) was synthesized with 5 wt% HA. GO particles were fabricated and added to CEA at 0.5 wt% (HA-GO-0.5%) and 2 wt% GO (HA-GO-2%). Teeth were prepared to produce bonded specimens using the three adhesive bonding agents for assessment of μTBS, with and without thermocycling (TC). The adhesives were applied twice on the dentin with a micro-brush followed by air thinning and photo-polymerization. The HA and GO nanoparticles demonstrated uniform dispersion inside adhesive. Resin tags with varying depths were observed on SEM micrographs. The EDX mapping revealed the presence of carbon (C), calcium (Ca), and phosphorus (P) in the two GO adhesives. For both TC and NTC samples, HA-GO-2% had higher μTBS and durability, followed by HA-GO-0.5%. The representative micro-Raman spectra demonstrated D and G bands for nano-GO particles containing adhesives. HA-GO-2% group demonstrated uniform diffusion in adhesive, higher μTBS, adequate durability, and comparable resin tag development to controls.

Abstract
An experimental adhesive incorporated with different nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) particle concentrations was synthesized and analyzed for dentin interaction, micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS), and degree of conversion (DC). n-HA powder (5 wt % and 10 wt %) were added in adhesive to yield three groups; gp-1: control experimental adhesive (CEA, 0 wt % HA), gp-2: 5 wt % n-HA (HAA-5%), and gp-3: 10 wt % n-HA (HAA-10%). The morphology of n-HA spheres was evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Their interaction in the adhesives was identified with SEM, Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Micro-Raman spectroscopy. Teeth were sectioned, divided in study groups, and assessed for μTBS and failure mode. Employing Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the DC of the adhesives was assessed. EDX mapping revealed the occurrence of oxygen, calcium, and phosphorus in the HAA-5% and HAA-10% groups. HAA-5% had the greatest μTBS values followed by HAA-10%. The presence of apatite was shown by FTIR spectra and Micro-Raman demonstrated phosphate and carbonate groups for n-HA spheres. The highest DC was observed for the CEA group followed by HAA-5%. n-HA spheres exhibited dentin interaction and formed a hybrid layer with resin tags. HAA-5% demonstrated superior μTBS compared with HAA-10% and control adhesive. The DC for HAA-5% was comparable to control adhesive.

Abstract
This study analyzed the diffusion of two resin luting agents (resin cements) into dentin, with the aim of presenting an analytical method for estimating the thickness of the diffusion zone. Class V cavities were prepared in the buccal and lingual surfaces of molars (n=9). Indirect composite inlays were luted into the cavities with either a self-adhesive or a self-etch resin cement. The teeth were sectioned bucco-lingually and the cement–dentin interface was analyzed by using micro-Raman spectroscopy (MRS) and scanning electron microscopy. Evolution of peak intensities of the Raman bands, collected from the functional groups corresponding to the resin monomer (C─O─C, 1113 cm(−1)) present in the cements, and the mineral content (P─O, 961 cm(−1)) in dentin were sigmoid shaped functions. A Boltzmann function (BF) was then fitted to the peaks encountered at 1113 cm(−1) to estimate the resin cement diffusion into dentin. The BF identified a resin cement–dentin diffusion zone of 1.8±0.4 μm for the self-adhesive cement and 2.5±0.3 μm for the self-etch cement. This analysis allowed the authors to estimate the diffusion of the resin cements into the dentin. Fitting the MRS data to the BF contributed to and is relevant for future studies of the adhesive interface.

Abstract
To modify two-step experimental etch-and-rinse dentin adhesive with different concentrations of riboflavin and to study its effect on the bond strength, degree of conversion, along with resin infiltration within the demineralized dentin substrate, an experimental adhesive-system was modified with different concentrations of riboflavin (m/m, 0, 1%, 3%, 5% and 10%). Dentin surfaces were etched with 37% phosphoric acid, bonded with respective adhesives, restored with restorative composite–resin, and sectioned into resin–dentin slabs and beams to be stored for 24 h or 9 months in artificial saliva. Micro-tensile bond testing was performed with scanning electron microscopy to analyse the failure of debonded beams. The degree of conversion was evaluated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) at different time points along with micro-Raman spectroscopy analysis. Data was analyzed with one-way and two-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's for pair-wise comparison. Modification with 1% and 3% riboflavin increased the micro-tensile bond strength compared to the control at 24 h and 9-month storage with no significant differences in degree of conversion (P<0.05). The most predominant failure mode was the mixed fracture among all specimens except 10% riboflavin-modified adhesive specimens where cohesive failure was predominant. Raman analysis revealed that 1% and 3% riboflavin adhesives specimens showed relatively higher resin infiltration. The incorporation of riboflavin in the experimental two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive at 3% (m/m) improved the immediate bond strengths and bond durability after 9-month storage in artificial saliva without adversely affecting the degree of conversion of the adhesive monomers and resin infiltration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of thermal cycling and inner surface treatment with aluminum oxide at different granulations on the tensile strength of Ni-Cr copings cemented with different cementing agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-six metal copings were manufactured and divided into two groups: before and after thermal cycling (n = 48). The copings of both groups were internally treated by sandblasting with aluminum oxide particles of 100 (n = 24) and 320 (n = 24) mesh. The copings were cemented on previously manufactured metal cores using zinc phosphate (n = 8), conventional glass ionomer (CGIC) (n = 8) and resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGIC) (n = 8) cements. The tensile strength before and after thermal cycling was then determined (Newtons). RESULTS The tensile strength before and after thermal cycling was significantly higher in copings cemented with RMGIC compared to CGIC (p < 0.05) and was similar to that for zinc phosphate (p > 0.05). Thermal cycling and sandblasting of the inner surface of the metal copings with different granulations did not influence retention (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Zinc phosphate cements and RMGIC showed similar retention. Additionally, the retention of the cements was not influenced by either thermal cycling or the particle size of the aluminum oxide.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) brush has been regarded as a promising technique to enhance dental interfacial bonding. However, the principal enhancement mechanisms have not been well identified. In this study, the effect of non-thermal plasmas on grafting of HEMA, a typical dental monomer, onto dentin collagen thin films was investigated. METHODS Human dentin was sectioned into 10-μm-thick films. After total demineralization in 0.5M EDTA solution for 30min, the dentin collagen films were water-rinsed, air-dried, treated with 35wt% HEMA aqueous solution. The films were then subject to plasma-exposure under a NTAP brush with different time (1-8min)/input power (5-15W). For comparison, the dentin collagen films were also treated with the above HEMA solution containing photo-initiators, then subject to light-curing. After plasma-exposure or light-curing, the HEMA-collagen films were rinsed in deionized water, and then examined by FTIR spectroscopy and TEM. RESULTS The FITR results indicated that plasma-exposure could induce significant HEMA grafting onto dentin collagen thin films. In contrast, light-curing led to no detectable interaction of HEMA with dentin collagen. Quantitative IR spectral analysis (i.e., 1720/3075 or 749/3075, HEMA/collagen ratios) further suggested that the grafting efficacy of HEMA onto the plasma-exposed collagen thin films strongly depended on the treatment time and input power of plasmas. TEM results indicated that plasma treatment did not alter collagen's banding structure. SIGNIFICANCE The current study provides deeper insight into the mechanism of dental adhesion enhancement induced by non-thermal plasmas treatment. The NTAP brush could be a promising method to create chemical bond between resin monomers and dentin collagen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surface roughness of nickel titanium orthodontic arch wires poses several clinical challenges. Surface modification with aesthetic/metallic/non metallic materials is therefore a recent innovation, with clinical efficacy yet to be comprehensively evaluated. METHODS One conventional and five types of surface modified nickel titanium arch wires were surface characterized with scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, Raman spectroscopy, Atomic force microscopy and 3D profilometry. Root mean square roughness values were analyzed by one way analysis of variance and post hoc Duncan's multiple range tests. RESULTS Study groups demonstrated considerable reduction in roughness values from conventional in a material specific pattern: Group I; conventional (578.56 nm) > Group V; Teflon (365.33 nm) > Group III; nitride (301.51 nm) > Group VI (i); rhodium (290.64 nm) > Group VI (ii); silver (252.22 nm) > Group IV; titanium (229.51 nm) > Group II; resin (158.60 nm). It also showed the defects with aesthetic (resin/Teflon) and nitride surfaces and smooth topography achieved with metals; titanium/silver/rhodium. CONCLUSIONS Resin, Teflon, titanium, silver, rhodium and nitrides were effective in decreasing surface roughness of nickel titanium arch wires albeit; certain flaws. Findings have clinical implications, considering their potential in lessening biofilm adhesion, reducing friction, improving corrosion resistance and preventing nickel leach and allergic reactions.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to provide the physicochemical interactions at the interfaces between two commercial etch-&-rinse adhesives and human dentin in a simulated moist bond technique. Six dentin specimens were divided into two groups (n=3) according to the use of two different adhesive systems: (a) 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) and 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydrate (4-META), and (b) HEMA. The Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy was performed before and after dentin treatment with 37% phosphoric acid, with adhesive systems and also for the adhesive systems alone. Acid-conditioning resulted in a decalcification pattern. Adhesive treated spectra subtraction suggested the occurrence of chemical bonding to dentin expressed through modifications of the OH stretching peak (3340 cm(-1)) and symmetric CH stretching (2900 cm(-1)) for both adhesives spectra; a decrease of orthophosphate absorption band (1040 to 970 cm(-1)) for adhesive A and a better resolved complex band formation (1270 to 970 cm(-1)) for adhesive B were observed. These results suggested the occurrence of chemical bonding between sound human dentin and etch-&-rinse adhesives through a clinical typical condition.

Abstract
Treatment of early root caries using resin adhesives to stabilize demineralized dentine and deprive bacteria of nutrients is a recognized and conservative treatment option. Essential to its success is a stable resin-dentine interface, with effective infiltration of demineralized dentine and adequate resin curing. The objective of this study was therefore to examine degree of cure (DoC) and depth of penetration of dentine adhesives in demineralized dentine using micro-Raman spectroscopy. Three commercially available adhesives were applied essentially according to manufacturers' instructions to visibly wet demineralized dentine, with two coats of primer to reduce dilution. Specimens were sectioned perpendicular to the bonded interface and micro-Raman spectroscopy performed on the cross section. Molecules associated with the adhesive were detected to depths greater than 100 μm indicating a thicker hybrid layer than seen in sound dentine. The hybrid layer showed an increase in proportion of aliphatic C=C double bonds at the base of the hybrid layer, which may be a consequence of reduced DoC or phase separation. Micro-Raman spectra suggest deep zones contain an increased concentration of HEMA and a lower concentration of BisGMA, which is likely to be less stable and may contribute to early breakdown of the dentine adhesive interface.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This investigation was carried out to evaluate the long-term effects of fluoride-releasing adhesive resins on structural changes in standardized fluid-filled gaps simulating microleakage between the materials and the tooth surface in vitro. METHODS Three commercially available fluoride-releasing resin adhesives (One-Up Bond F, OptiBond Solo, and Reactmer Bond) were used in this study. Cured disks of resin adhesive were placed over flat human tooth surfaces (enamel and dentin), separated by a standardized 40microm interfacial gap and stored in distilled water for 24h (control group) or 1000 days (experimental group). After 1000 days of water storage, the resins were detached from the teeth and the opposing surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, chemical structural analysis was performed by laser-Raman spectroscopy. RESULTS The SEM microphotographs showed numerous crystal types on the enamel, dentin, and resin surfaces after 1000 days of water storage for OptiBond Solo and Reactmer Bond. However, there was no crystal formation in the control specimens and the aged specimens of One-Up Bond F. Raman analysis showed several peaks (463, 618, and 990cm(-1)) from the crystals of OptiBond Solo that were not identified in the enamel, dentin, or cured resin. SIGNIFICANCE In conclusion, two of the three tested fluoride-release resin adhesives (OptiBond Solo and Reactmer Bond) have the ability to induce crystal growth within gaps between the adhesive and teeth in long-term water storage. These results suggest that the two adhesive resins have self-reparative ability with regard to bond leakage.

Abstract
With wet bonding techniques, the channels between the demineralized dentin collagen fibrils are filled with debris, solvent, and water. Commercial adhesives include solvents such as ethanol or acetone to facilitate resin-infiltration into this wet substrate. Under in vivo conditions, the solvent may be diluted because of repeated exposure of the material to the atmosphere, or concentrated because of separation of the bonding liquids into layers within the bottle. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of ethanol (10-50%) on infiltration of the adhesive resin and collagen fibril encapsulation in the adhesive/dentin interface using light microscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that under wet bonding conditions the hybridization process was highly sensitive to the initial solvent concentration in the adhesive system. The staining and scanning electron microscopy results showed that the quality of the interfacial hybrid layer was poor at the lower (10%) or higher (50%) ethanol content. Micro-Raman analysis indicated that there was a distinct difference in the degree of adhesive penetration among adhesives containing different concentrations of ethanol. Adhesives containing 10 or 50% ethanol did not realize effective penetration; the penetration of the adhesive monomers increased dramatically when the initial ethanol content was 30%. The amount of solvents are essential for achieving effective bonding to dentin.

Abstract
This paper presents a review plus new data that describes the role hierarchical nanostructural properties play in developing an understanding of the effect of scale on the material properties (chemical, elastic and electrical) of calcified tissues as well as the interfaces that form between such tissues and biomaterials. Both nanostructural and microstructural properties will be considered starting with the size and shape of the apatitic mineralites in both young and mature bovine bone. Microstructural properties for human dentin and cortical and trabecular bone will be considered. These separate sets of data will be combined mathematically to advance the effects of scale on the modeling of these tissues and the tissue/biomaterial interfaces as hierarchical material/structural composites. Interfacial structure and properties to be considered in greatest detail will be that of the dentin/adhesive (d/a) interface, which presents a clear example of examining all three material properties, (chemical, elastic and electrical). In this case, finite element modeling (FEA) was based on the actual measured values of the structure and elastic properties of the materials comprising the d/a interface; this combination provides insight into factors and mechanisms that contribute to premature failure of dental composite fillings. At present, there are more elastic property data obtained by microstructural measurements, especially high frequency ultrasonic wave propagation (UWP) and scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) techniques. However, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanoindentation (NI) of cortical and trabecular bone and the dentin-enamel junction (DEJ) among others have become available allowing correlation of the nanostructural level measurements with those made on the microstructural level.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The role of acrylophosphonic acid monomers in the formation of hybrid layers based on self-etch adhesives. OBJECTIVES Our plan was to define the reaction products formed when an acrylophosphonic acid reacts with tooth hard tissue. Our aim was to describe the incorporation of the reaction products in the hybrid layer formed. METHODS Potentiometric methods were used to measure acid dissociation constants and investigate calcium complex formation. Infrared spectroscopy and NMR were used to follow water contents and show transformation of phosphorous containing compounds. RESULTS The acrylophosphonic acid contained in AdheSE (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) is characterized by two acidities with pK(a1)=2.4 and pK(a2)=7.0, and interacts with calcium ions in a purely ionic fashion. When hydroxyapatite crystals are dissociated by the presence of AdheSE, brushite is formed together with a calcium cross-linked network of the phosphonate containing copolymer. CONCLUSION The results give a new image of the hybrid layer where the adhesive behaves like an ionomer resin incorporating collagen but also minerals and salt bridges.

Abstract
Microfluidic methodologies are becoming increasingly important for rapid formulation and screening of materials, and development of analytical tools for multiple sample screening is a critical step in achieving a combinatorial 'lab on a chip' approach. This work demonstrates the application of Raman spectroscopy for analysis of monomer composition and degree of conversion of methacrylate-based droplets in a microfluidic device. Droplet formation was conducted by flow focusing on the devices, and a gradient of component composition was created by varying the flow rates of the droplet-phase fluids into the microchannels. Raman data were collected using a fiber optic probe from a stationary array of the droplets/particles on the device, followed by partial least squares (PLS) calibration of the first derivative (1600 cm(-1) to 1550 cm(-1)) allowing successful measurement of monomer composition with a standard error of calibration (SEC) of +/-1.95% by volume. Following photopolymerization, the percentage of double bond conversion of the individual particles was calculated from the depletion of the normalized intensity of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C stretching vibration at 1605 cm(-1). Raman data allowed accurate measurement of the decrease in double bond conversion as a function of increasing crosslinker concentration. The results from the research demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is an effective, on-chip analytical tool for screening polymeric materials on the micrometre scale.

Abstract
The effects of thermocycling at 20,000 cycles and addition of silanized spherical silica filler (SF) on resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) restorations were investigated. A RMGIC added with an untreated spherical silica filler (UF) was used as a comparison. Marginal gaps in Class V tooth cavities, compressive strength, diametral tensile strength, flexural strength, and shear bond strengths to enamel and dentin were examined. All thermocycled samples showed decreased frequency of marginal gap formation as compared to the 24-hour samples, with reduction of 73% to 95%. At the immediate condition, after 24 hours, and after thermocycling, the addition of 10 wt% SF yielded the most favorable results in terms of marginal gap formation in Class V cavities, compressive strength, flexural strength, and shear bond strength to enamel. Diametral tensile strength and flexural strength were also increased significantly by the addition of 5 wt% SF. Further, shear bond strength tests showed that the addition of SF had no effect on bonding capability to enamel and dentin.

Abstract
The surface of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) consists of sclerosed dentin. This type of dentin may affect the ability of adhesive restorative materials to bond well to its surface, but little information exists on the chemical nature of this dentin surface and how it may be affected during acidic treatment. The inorganic part of normal dentin and dentin from NCCLs before and after acid conditioning with phosphoric acid or polyacrylic acid was investigated. Ten premolars with NCCLs and four human third molars (control) were used. Replicas of NCCLs were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surfaces and longitudinal sections of four NCCLs and control dentin discs were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy. The discs and NCCLs were sectioned, and treated with 35% phosphoric acid or 20% polyacrylic acid/3% aluminum chloride, and Raman spectra obtained. The area under phosphate nu1 of the dentin spectrum was computed to obtain a ratio with the area under the second-order spectrum of a silicon phonon comparative standard. Mean phosphate nu1 and silicon phonon ratios from normal dentin and NCCLs were compared using a linear model with repeated measurements and Tukey's pairwise tests. Mean ratios from different locations of the NCCLs were compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's pairwise tests. SEM micrographs of NCCL surfaces showed variation from relatively smooth with no dentinal tubule openings to surfaces with occluded tubules. The mean phosphate nu1 and silicon phonon ratios for NCCLs were higher than those of normal dentin in all treatment groups (P < 0.05). Ratios from the untreated specimens were higher than those of the polyacrylic acid-treated specimens, and those for the phosphoric acid-treated group were the lowest (P < 0.05). The ratios obtained for the surfaces of NCCLs were higher than those halfway towards the pulp, and those adjacent to the pulp were the lowest (P < 0.05).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Adhesion of resin composites to dentin is currently believed to result from impregnation of adhesive resin into superficially demineralized dentin. The purpose of this study was to use micro-Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the extent of resin penetration into etched dentin with single-step adhesive systems. METHODS Adhesive systems used were One-Up Bond F (Tokuyama Dental) and Reactmer Bond (Shofu, Inc.). A self-etching primer system Mac Bond II (Tokuyama Dental) was employed as a control. Resin composites were bonded to bovine dentin with the adhesive systems, and specimens were sectioned parallel to dentinal tubules. Raman spectra were successively recorded along a line perpendicular to the dentin-adhesive interface in steps of 0.2 microm and the spectra were obtained. SEM observations of the resin-dentin interface were also conducted. RESULTS The dentin-resin interface of single-step adhesive systems showed a gradual transition in the relative amount of adhesive from the resin side to dentin side. The widths of resin penetration into demineralized dentin detected by Raman microscopy were greater than those obtained by the morphological analysis using SEM. CONCLUSIONS From the results of this study, a gradual variation in the composition of the dentin-resin interface was detected, and the degree of resin impregnation observed with SEM observation was less than that detected with the Raman microscopy.

Abstract
Early dental caries detection will facilitate implementation of nonsurgical methods for arresting caries progression and promoting tooth remineralization. We present a method that combines optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Raman spectroscopy to provide morphological information and biochemical specificity for detecting and characterizing incipient carious lesions found in extracted human teeth. OCT imaging of tooth samples demonstrated increased light backscattering intensity at sites of carious lesions as compared to the sound enamel. The observed lesion depth on an OCT image was approximately 290 microm matching those previously documented for incipient caries. Using Raman microspectroscopy and fiber-optic-based Raman spectroscopy to characterize the caries further, spectral changes were observed in PO4 (3-) vibrations arising from hydroxyapatite of mineralized tooth tissue. Examination of various ratios of PO4 (3-) nu2, nu3, nu4 vibrations against the nu1 vibration showed consistent increases in carious lesions compared to sound enamel. The changes were attributed to demineralization-induced alterations of enamel crystallite morphology and/or orientation. OCT imaging is useful for screening carious sites and determining lesion depth, with Raman spectroscopy providing biochemical confirmation of caries. The combination has potential for development into a new fiber-optic diagnostic tool enabling dentists to identify early caries lesions with greater sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to provide direct and comprehensive information regarding morphology, quality and chemistry of the interfaces between three self-etching primers/adhesives and dentine. MATERIALS AND METHODS The occlusal one-third of the crown was removed from 18 unerupted human third molars. The prepared dentine surfaces were randomly selected for treatment with one of three commercial self-etching bonding agents according to manufacturers' instructions. One two-step self-etching adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond) and two one-step self-etching adhesives (One-Up Bond F and Prompt L-Pop) were selected. Five-micron-thick sections of adhesive/dentine interface specimens were cut and stained with Goldner's trichrome for light microscopy. Companion slabs were analysed with micro-Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS It was shown that the difference in aggressiveness of these three contemporary self-etching systems produced different thickness of hybrid layer. Staining technique showed a distinct coloured line/zone at the adhesive/dentine interfaces for all three bonding systems. The width of this line varied, and was approximately 1, 1-2, 2-3 microm for Clearfil SE Bond, One-Up Bond F and Prompt L-Pop, respectively. The colour differences in the stained interface sections, which is reflected by the extent to which the adhesive encapsulates the demineralised dentine matrix, indicated that collagen fibrils at the interfaces were not totally encased in all three self-etching adhesives. Raman results showed that Prompt L-Pop is the most aggressive systems in this study. It almost totally demineralised the 2-microm deep subsurface dentine, while Clearfil SE is mild, only partially demineralised the first micron deep dentine. CONCLUSIONS The complementary techniques, i.e. SEM, staining and micro-Raman spectroscopy, hold considerable promise for comprehensive physicochemical characterisation of self-etching adhesive/dentine interfaces. In comparison with two-step self-etching system, the aggressive one-step system produces more complex interfaces.

Abstract
We present the results of the Vicker's hardness test and the use of near-infrared Raman spectroscopy (RS) to measure in vitro the degree of conversion (DC) of a bis(phenol)-A-glycidyl-dimethacrylate-based composite resin, photoactivated by both a halogen lamp (power density=478 mW/cm(2); 8-mm diameter spot) and an argon laser (power density=625 mW/cm(2); 7-mm diameter spot). The degree of conversion was estimated by analyzing the relative intensities between the aromatic C=C stretching Raman mode at 1610 cm(-1) and the methacrylate C=C stretching Raman mode (1640 cm(-1)) on top and bottom surfaces. For the hardness evaluation, the samples were embedded in polyester resin and three indentations with a 50-g load for 10 s were made on the top surface. The higher relative DC values achieved by the photoactivation of a composite resin by the argon laser suggest a better biocompatibility in the bottom surface. The correlation test showed that the higher Vicker's hardness number (VHN) values were associated with higher DC values. The derivative analysis showed a greater curing rate from 5 to 20 s of exposure. The comparison of VHN and DC values with both light sources at each curing time showed that a small change in conversion is related to a large change in hardness. Raman spectroscopy is more sensitive to changes in the first stages of curing reaction than later ones, and the Vicker's hardness assay is more sensitive to changes in the last stages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Near infrared Raman spectroscopy (RS) was used to monitor, in vitro, the degree of conversion (DC) of composite resins (Z100, 3M), photoactivated by both the halogen lamp and the argon laser beam. BACKGROUND DATA Several methods were used to study the alterations of composite resins. Vibration methods such as RS allow a precise assessment of the depth of polymerization and the degree of conversion of composite resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty circular blocks of resin (7 mm x 2.5 mm) were cured using a halogen light source (n=30, lambda=400-500 nm, power density=478 mW/cm2) or an argon laser beam (n=30, lambda=488 nm, power density=625 mW/cm2) using the same irradiation time (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 sec). The directly irradiated (top) and the non-irradiated (bottom) surfaces were analyzed immediately after curing by Raman spectroscopy. RESULTS The Raman results show systematic changes of the relative intensities between the peaks at 1610 (aromatic C=C stretching mode) and the 1640 cm(-1) (methacrylate C=C stretching mode), as a function of irradiation time. After 60 sec of irradiation time, the maximum degree of conversion reached for the samples cured either by the argon laser or halogen lamp was 66.4% and 62.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION The argon laser was more effective and showed better biocompatibility, with less residual monomer in the bottom (2.5 mm). These results show that RS can be used as an effective method to study the degree of conversion of composite resins.

Abstract
Glass-ionomers are auto-adhesive to tooth tissue through combined micro-mechanical and chemical bonding. How much each of the two bonding components contributes to the actual bonding effectiveness is, however, not known and there is not much information available on long-term stability. The objective of this study was to assess the bonding effectiveness of a resin-modified glass-ionomer adhesive to dentin after 4 yr of water storage. Fuji Bond LC (GC) was applied without (i) and with pretreatment using (ii) a polyalkenoic acid conditioner and (iii) a 37.5% phosphoric acid etchant. The etchant was used to exclude any chemical interaction with hydroxyapatite. The micro-tensile bond strength ( microTBS) to dentin decreased significantly over the 4 yr period in all three experimental groups. After 24 h and 4 yr, the lowest micro TBS was recorded when dentin was not pretreated. The highest micro TBS was obtained following polyalkenoic acid pretreatment, although this was not significantly different from specimens that were pretreated using phosphoric acid. Pretreating dentin with phosphoric acid intensified micromechanical interlocking at the expense of chemical bonding potential to hydroxyapatite. Nevertheless, correlating the micro TBS data with failure analysis through scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy indicated that combined micro-mechanical and chemical bonding involving pretreatment with the polyalkenoic acid conditioner yielded the most durable bond.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The quality of the hybrid layer is believed to be more important than the thickness of this layer. The purpose of this study was to investigate a method to analyze the percentage of adhesive resin residual double bonds in the dentin-resin interface using laser Raman spectroscopy. METHODS Bovine dentin was treated with dentin adhesives and resin composite was bonded according to the manufacturers' instructions. The specimens were sectioned parallel to dentinal tubules and the surfaces were then polished to 1 microm diamond pastes. Raman spectra were recorded along a line perpendicular to the dentin-resin interface in steps of 0.2 microm. The measurement of residual C=C bond was made on a relative basis by comparing the C=C unpolymerized methacrylate stretching vibration (1638 cm(-1)) against the C=O stretching mode of the ester group (1719 cm(-1)). The percentage of residual double bonds including pendant and monomeric double bonds was calculated by comparing the obtained ratio with that of uncured adhesive resin. RESULTS The amount of residual double bonds in the hybrid layer varied from 10 to 25% compared to the uncured adhesives, a relatively higher percentage was detected for Fluoro Bond (12.3-23.6%) and Single Bond (9.5-21.8%), and lower for Mac Bond II (10.6-18.0%) and Mega Bond (10.7-16.3%). No relationship was seen between the percentage of remaining double bonds and the location within the resin-dentin interface. SIGNIFICANCE Laser Raman microscopy used was a useful tool for measuring the residual double bonds in the dentin-resin interface.

Abstract
Although it is generally proposed that dentin bonding results from adhesive infiltration of superficially demineralized dentin, it is not clear how well the resin monomers seal the dentin collagen fibrils under wet bonding conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the quality and molecular structure of adhesive/dentin (a/d) interfaces formed with wet bonding as compared with adhesive-infiltrated demineralized dentin (AIDD) produced under controlled conditions (optimum hybrid). From each extracted, unerupted human 3rd molar, one fraction was demineralized, dehydrated, and infiltrated with Single Bond (SB) adhesive under optimum conditions; the remaining, adjacent fraction was treated with SB by wet bonding. AIDD and a/d interface sections were stained with Goldner's trichrome; corresponding sections were analyzed with micro-Raman spectroscopy. The histomorphologic and spectroscopic results suggest that, under wet bonding, the a/d interface is a porous collagen web infiltrated primarily by the hydrolytically unstable HEMA.

Abstract
Composite inlays are indicated for large cavities, which frequently extend cervically into dentin. The purpose of this study was to compare in vitro the marginal and internal adaptation of class II fine hybrid composite inlays (Herculite, Kerr) made with or without composite bases, having different physical properties. Freshly extracted human molars were used for this study. The base extended up to the cervical margins on both sides and was made from Revolution (Kerr), Tetric flow (Vivadent), Dyract (Detrey-Dentsply) or Prodigy (Kerr), respectively. Before, during and after mechanical loading (1 million cycles, with a force varying from 50 to 100 N), the proximal margins of the inlay were assessed by scanning electron microscopy. Experimental data were analysed using non-parametric tests. The final percentages of marginal tooth fracture varied from 30.7% (no base) to 37.6% (Dyract). In dentin, percentages of marginal opening varied from 9.2% (Tetric Flow) to 30.1% (Prodigy), however, without significant difference between base products. Mean values of opened internal interface with dentin varied from 11.06% (Tetric Flow) to 28.15% (Prodigy). The present results regarding dentin adaptation confirmed that the physical properties of a base can influence composite inlay adaptation and that the medium-rigid flowable composite Tetric Flow is a potential material to displace, in a coronal position, proximal margins underneath composite inlays.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of NaOCl on resin-tooth bonds to simulate the situations of long-term durability and caries invasion. Resin-tooth bonded specimens were produced with the use of two resin adhesives (Excite and One-Bond). Resin-tooth bonded beams (adhesive area; 0.9 mm2) were serially sectioned and the specimens were immersed in 10% NaOCl medium for 0 (control), 2, 4, and 6 h after being stored in water for 24 h. After immersion, microtensile bond tests were performed. SEM fractography was conducted to calculate each failure mode by image analysis. In addition, the adhesive interface was examined with the use of TEM. In the control specimens, enamel bond strengths had no difference between Excite (45.6 +/- 15.0) and One-Bond (56.9 +/- 12.9). On the other hand, dentin bond strengths had significant difference between Excite (80.6 +/- 21.2) and One-Bond (50.7 +/- 11.2). The bond strengths decreased with increased storage time for both systems with enamel and dentin bonds. The deteriorated mineralized dentin of beams resulted in bond-strength reduction for resin-enamel bonds. For dentin bonding, the adhesive interface was gradually dissolved from the outer to the center portion of the beam. The depletion of collagen fibrils within the demineralized dentin or hybrid layer deformation was found under SEM and TEM examinations. These morphological changes are responsible for bond strength reduction of resin-dentin bonds.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Adhesion of resin-bonding agents to dentin is currently believed to result from impregnation of adhesive resin into superficially demineralized dentin. The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of the resin-impregnated dentin (hybrid) layer using a micro-Raman spectroscopy. METHODS Resin composites were bonded to bovine dentin with the two-step bonding systems, and specimens were sectioned parallel to dentinal tubules. These surfaces were then polished down to 1 microm diamond pastes. Raman spectra were successively recorded along a line perpendicular to the dentin-adhesive interface by steps of 0.2 microm on a computer controlled X-Y stage. The relative amounts of hydroxyapatite (960 cm(-1), P-O), adhesive resin (640 cm(-1), aromatic ring), and organic substrate (1450 cm(-1), C-H) in the dentin-adhesive bonding area were calculated. RESULTS From the Raman spectroscopy results, the hybrid layer represents a gradual transition in the relative amount of adhesive from the resin side to dentin side. Evidence of poor saturation of the adhesive resin in the demineralized dentin with the one-bottle adhesive system was detected. SIGNIFICANCE From the results of this study, inhomogeneity of the hybrid layer composition was detected, and the degree of resin impregnation was found to be different between the bonding systems tested.

Abstract
Direct class II composite restorations still represent a challenge, particularly when proximal limits extend below the CEJ. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of the type of adhesive and the delay between adhesive placement and composite insertion on restoration adaptation. Direct class II MOD box-shaped composite restorations (n=8 per group) were placed on intact human third molars, with proximal margins 1mm above or under CEJ. All cavities were filled with a horizontal layering technique, immediately after adhesive placement (IP) or after a 24h delay (DP). A filled three-component adhesive (OptiBond FL: OB) and a single-bottle, unfilled one (Prime & Bond 2.1: PB) were tested. Marginal adaptation was assessed before and after each phase of mechanical loading (250000 cycles at 50 N, 250000 cycles at 75 N and 500000 cycles at 100 N); internal adaptation was evaluated after test completion. Gold-plated resin replicas were observed in the SEM and restoration quality evaluated in percentages of continuity (C) at the margins and within the internal interface, after sample section. Adaptation to beveled enamel proved satisfactory in all groups. After loading, adaptation to gingival dentin degraded more in PB-IP (C=55.1%) than PB-DP (C=86.9%) or OB-DP (C=89%). More internal defects were observed in PB samples (IP: C=79.2% and DP: C=86.3%) compared to OB samples (IP: C=97.4% and DP: C=98.3%). The filled adhesive (OB) produced a better adaptation than the 'one-bottle' brand (PB), hypothetically by forming a stress-absorbing layer, limiting the development of adhesive failures. Postponing occlusal loading (such as the indirect approach) improved also restoration adaptation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fractographic analysis was conducted to evaluate the resin-dentin bond structures made under wet and dry conditions. METHODS Resin-dentin bonded specimens were prepared using two adhesive resin systems (Single Bond/SB; 3M and All Bond 2/AB2; Bisco Inc) under wet and dry conditions. The specimens were sectioned perpendicular to the adhesive interface to produce a square bar-shaped specimen (adhesive area: 0.9 mm(2)) by means of a diamond saw. The mean bond tensile test was then conducted at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min. The mean bond strengths were statistically compared with two-way ANOVA and Fisher's PLSD test (p<0.05). Subsequently, the fractured surfaces of all specimens were examined using SEM and the area fractions of failure modes (%) were measured using an image analyzer on SEM microphotographs. RESULTS No significant differences in tensile-bond strength were observed between SB (60.1+/-16.4MPa) and AB2 (69.8+/-17.4MPa) (p>0.05) under wet conditions. However, the bond strength either of SB or AB2 made under wet conditions was significantly greater than those made under dry conditions (SB: 26.2+/-12.5MPa and AB2: 6.8+/-3.3MPa) (p<0.05). Under fractographic analysis, the major portion at the fractured surface was occupied by the cohesive failure of bonding resin and the resin composite for the wet conditions, and the top of the hybrid layer for the dry conditions in both systems. SIGNIFICANCE The interaction between the top of the hybrid layer and the bonding resin influenced the bond integrity.

Abstract
The combined methodologies of fractography and laser-Raman spectroscopic analysis were used for evaluation of the resin-dentin bonds made with wet and dry bonding. Resin-dentin-bonded beams were produced by means of 2 acetone-based adhesives (One-Step and Prime & Bond NT). The micro-tensile bond test was conducted, and the fractured surfaces of all specimens were examined by SEM and an image analyzer. The amount of resin infiltration within the hybrid layer was quantified by means of a laser-Raman spectroscope. In Raman analysis, the amount of resin impregnation within the hybrid layer of the dry bonding was found to be significantly lower (approximately 50%) than that in the wet one. Under fractographic analysis, a correlation was found between the bond strength and the failure mode. Based on those findings, it was suggested that the integrity between the bonding resin and the top of the hybrid layer played a major role in bond strength.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to characterize the interactions of selected ligand molecules with collagen structure through computer visualization of the reacting molecules and the resulting complexes. Five ligand molecules were studied. They were 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate, Glutaraldehyde-HEMA adduct, Glyceryl dimethacrylate, Methacryloyloxyethyl maleate and Acryloyloxyethyl citraconate. These ligands were selected with oxygen as a common heteroatom for a reactive or functional site. Energy minimized 3-D structures of the molecules were generated by Sybyl molecular modeling software. The structures were subjected to a systematic conformational search, yielding conformations of the molecules with a common recognition site with both steric and electrostatic complementarity to appropriate receptor sites in a type I collagen molecular structure. The ligands were also docked to collagen receptor by autodock procedures and the receptor sites where docking occurred were evaluated. The energy of the molecules and their complexes with collagen was evaluated and compared. The computer visualization results reveal that steric complementarity between receptor sites in collagen and optimally configured ligands may be the basis of micromechanical bonding between collagen and the ligands. Typically, ligands docked on the cavities of collagen molecular surface and wrapped around the cavities which follow the helical turns of the collagen macromolecule. In addition, analysis of electrostatic potential features revealed electrostatic complementarity as an additional source of interaction. Hydrogen bonds between ligands and collagen molecule were detected in the complexes of several of the conformations of all the ligands. Thus computer simulation studies show that steric and electrostatic complementarity and consequent interactions form the potential basis of binding between dentin adhesive ligands and type I collagen.

Abstract
PURPOSE For contemporary hydrophilic resin adhesive systems, bonding to dentin is improved if the substrate is maintained in a hydrated state following acid-etching. The purpose of this study was to compare the dentin shear bond strengths of two single-bottle adhesives (one acetone-based and one ethanol-based) applied under different etched-dentin conditions: dry, wet, or dry and re-wetted with different solutions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bovine incisors (N = 120) were mounted in acrylic, polished to 600-grit, and randomly assigned to 12 groups (n = 10). Dentin was etched for 15 seconds using 35% phosphoric acid, rinsed, and either blot-dried, air-dried, or air-dried and re-wetted with different solutions (distilled water, Gluma Desensitizer, Aqua-Prep, and 5% glutaraldehyde in water). Two adhesives (Single Bond and Prime & Bond NT) were applied to each of the surface conditions following manufacturers' instructions. After adhesive application and curing, composite was applied in a No. 5 gelatin capsule and light-cured. Specimens were loaded in shear, using an Instron at 5 mm per minute. Shear bond strengths were calculated by dividing the failure load by the bonded surface area. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a post hoc Tukey test. RESULTS Mean shear bond strengths ranged from 12.5 to 26.6 MPa for Single Bond and from 5.6 to 14.7 MPa for Prime & Bond NT. Significant differences were found in both groups of materials (p < .001). The three highest mean bond strengths were obtained (in order) on dentin that was re-wetted with Gluma Desensitizer, re-wetted with Aqua-Prep, or never dried. Differences between these surface conditions were not statistically significant for either material.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the failure mode between dentin-adhesive resin-resin composite bonded joint produced with a chevron-notch short-bar (CNSB) and microtensile test methods. METHODS Forty teeth were randomly selected for microtensile and forty for CNSB specimen fabrication and stored in 0.5% chloramine T at 37 degrees C until respective static load to failure testing at 30 and 180days. Failure modes were categorized by SEM and tested with Fisher's exact test. Within respective mechanical testing methods the probability of failure curve distributions being significantly different were analyzed by the Wald chi-square statistic. RESULTS The characteristic fracture toughness at 30- and 180-day storage was 0.82 and 0.87MPam(1/2), while the Weibull Modulus (m) for the failure distributions, was 4.60 and 4.56, respectively. No significant difference was demonstrated in the failure distributions between these groups (p=0.45). The characteristic tensile strength (muTBS(o)) at 30- and 180-day storage was 52.53 and 14.71MPa with an m of 3.04 and 1.56, respectively. Failure distributions for muTBS groups were significantly different (p<0.001). K(IvM) failure modes, regardless of storage time, were within the adhesive joint with 30-day debonds primarily through the top region of the hybrid layer (THL) and after 180-days involving the bottom of the hybrid layer (BHL). The 30-day muTBS group demonstrated a propensity to debond in dentin or resin composite substrates but after 180-days storage debonds again involved the BHL. SIGNIFICANCE The weak links in the dentin-adhesive resin-resin composite bonded joint may be the interphase regions between the THL and the adhesive resin and the BHL and dentin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effect of experimental dentin primers containing N-methylolacrylamide (MEAA) or N-methylolmethacrylamide (MEMA) on bond durability of a resin composite (Photo Clearfil A) with a bonding agent (Clearfil Photo Bond) to bovine dentin was investigated. METHODS The etching agents were 10% maleic acid (10% MA), 10% phosphoric acid (10% PA) and 10% citric acid-3% ferric chloride (10-3 solution). Water solutions of 35% hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 50% MEAA or 30% MEMA were used as dentin primers. The etched dentin was pre-treated with the dentin primers for 30s. The resin composite systems were applied in a Teflon tube positioned onto pre-treated dentin surfaces. After water immersion for 1 day and 5 years, the shear bond strengths were measured. The amounts of calcium dissolved with etching agents were measured using atomic absorption spectrometry. The thicknesses of hybrid layers at the dentin-resin interfaces treated with 6 mol/l HCl and 1% NaOCl were measured using scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS The bond strengths of the specimens (Controls) without primers to dentin etched with 10% MA and 10-3 solution significantly decreased after immersion in water for 5 years (p<0.05) while other bond strengths did not decrease. The bond strengths of the composites to MEMA- and MEAA-primed dentin were significantly higher than that of the control after 1 day, regardless of the types of etching agents (p<0.05). The 5 year bond strengths of the composites to HEMA-, MEMA- and MEAA-primed dentin were significantly higher than that of the control, regardless of the types of etching agents (p<0.05). The 1 day and 5 year bond strengths of the composite to MEAA-primed dentin were significantly higher than those of the composites to HEMA-primed dentin, regardless of the types of etching agents (p<0.05). The highest amount (182.3+/-8.0 microg/cm(2)) of dissolved calcium was determined for the pre-treatment with 10% PA, followed by that (152.0+/-6.9 microg/cm(2)) with 10% MA and that (140.1+/-2.8 microg/cm(2)) with 10-3 solution (p<0.05). The hybrid layer thicknesses (approximately 1 microm) for 10-3 solution were thinner than those (approximately 2 microm) for others after HCl immersion. For the controls, the hybrid layers after NaOCl immersion become narrower or disappeared. The main fracture pattern of specimens was a mixture of resin-dentin interface failure and dentin cohesive fracture after the bond test. CONCLUSIONS MEAA solution was more effective in improving the bond strength of the controls to etched dentin than was HEMA after 1 day and 5 years. Clearfil Photo Bond created good hybrid dentin layers which could resist NaOCl-attack and showed good dentin bond durability when dentin primers were used, regardless of the type of etching agent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nanoleakage patterns of four dentin bonding systems. METHODS The dentin bonding systems used in this study were: Single Bond, One Coat Bond, Prime & Bond NT/Non Rinse Conditioner (NRC), and PermaQuik. Flat occlusal dentin surfaces from extracted human molars were finished with wet 600-grit silicon carbide paper, and bonded with one of the dentin bonding systems. After 24 h storage at 37 degrees C in water, margins were finished with polishing discs and the surrounding tooth surfaces coated with nail varnish. The samples were immersed in a 50% (w/v) solution of silver nitrate for 24 h, and exposed to photodeveloping solution for 8 h. The samples were cut longitudinally, polished, and mounted on stubs, carbon coated and observed in a Field Emission-SEM using backscattered electron mode. RESULTS Different nanoleakage patterns were observed with the different adhesive systems. However, accumulations of silver particles were often noted at the base of the hybrid layer for all materials. Single Bond and One Coat Bond demonstrated uptake of silver particles both within the hybrid layer and the adhesive resin. Prime & Bond NT/NRC showed silver staining throughout almost the entire thickness of the hybrid layer. The leakage pattern of PermaQuik revealed loose silver deposition within the hybrid layer. The composition of each adhesive system may play a role in forming the different leakage patterns. SIGNIFICANCE The current dentin bonding systems used in this study do not achieve perfect sealing at the restoration/dentin interface, which may influence the durability of the bond to dentin.

Abstract
The effect of experimental dentin primers containing N-methylolacrylamide (MEAA) or N-methylolmethacrylamide (MEMA) on the bonding of three commercial light-cured resin composite systems [Restorative Z 100 (Scotchbond), Palfique Estelite (Macbond) and Photo Clearfil A (Clearfil Photobond)] to etched dentin was investigated. Water solutions of 35% hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). 50% MEAA or 30% MEMA were used as dentin primers. The dentin etched with 10% phosphoric acid solution was pretreated with dentin primers for 30 s. The resin composite systems were applied in a Teflon tube positioned onto pretreated dentin surfaces. After water immersion for 1 day, the shear bond strengths were measured. The thicknesses of hybrid layers at dentin-resin interfaces treated with 6 mol/l HCl and 1% NaOCl were measured by scanning electron microscopy. The dentin primer pretreatment increased the bond strengths of all resin composite systems. For Macbond and Clearfil Photobond, the bond strengths (14.2-26.5 MPa) with MEAA and MEMA were higher than those (10.5 and 17.8 MPa) with HEMA. All hybrid layer thicknesses were 1-1.5 microns after HCl immersion. The hybrid layers after NaOCl immersion become narrower. The main fracture pattern of specimens exhibiting high bond strengths (more than 14.2 MPa) was dentin cohesive fracture after bond test. For Macbond and Clearfil Photobond, the layers of specimens pretreated with MEAA and MEMA were clearly thicker than those pretreated with HEMA after NaOCl immersion. MEAA and MEMA solutions were more effective in improving the bond strength of Macbond and Clearfil Photobond to etched dentin than was HEMA. Macbond and Clearfil Photobond created good hybrid dentin layers which could resist NaOCl-attack when MEAA and MEMA solutions were used as dentin primers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this in vitro study were to (a) measure fluid flow through teeth restored with one of three dentine bonding systems and a resin composite restoration; (b) measure the distribution of a silver tracer through the same teeth, and make a comparison with fluid flow; and (c) investigate the effect of thermocycling on both measurement types. METHODS Coronal segments of 30 premolars, randomly allocated to three equal groups, were assessed by fluid filtration. Each group was restored with a resin composite restoration in conjunction with Fuji Bond LC (FBLC), Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus (SMP+) or Prime&Bond 2.1 (P&B2.1). Fluid filtration rates were measured in the intact crown and then after cavity preparation, conditioning, dentine bonding, restoration and at 2 and 24 h, 1 week and 1 month following restoration. Six specimens from each group were thermocycled at 1 week. After final filtration measurements the specimens were perfused with silver nitrate and cleared before scoring tracer penetration. RESULTS No significant differences (P > 0.05) in fluid filtration rates were found amongst the different bonding systems or at any restoration stage. Thermocycling was not associated with any significant (P > 0.05) increase in fluid filtration. Final fluid filtration and tracer distribution showed a weak and not statistically significant correlation (P > 0.05). The penetration of silver stain indicated a failure of the restorations to seal the cavity and demonstrated a possible pathway by which in vivo post-operative sensitivity could occur. CONCLUSIONS Although not statistically significant, conditioning of the cavity increased the dentinal permeability but this effect was variable. Thermocycling had no statistically significant effect on microleakage.

Abstract
The potential environmental risks associated with mercury release have forced many European countries to ban the use of dental amalgam. Alternative materials such as composite resins do not provide the clinical function for the length of time characteristically associated with dental amalgam. The weak link in the composite restoration is the dentin/adhesive bond. The purpose of this study was to correlate morphologic characterization of the dentin/adhesive bond with chemical analyses using micro-Fourier transform infrared and micro-Raman spectroscopy. A commercial dental adhesive was placed on dentin substrates cut from extracted, unerupted human third molars. Sections of the dentin/adhesive interface were investigated using infrared radiation produced at the Aladdin synchrotron source; visible radiation from a Kr+ laser was used for the micro-Raman spectroscopy. Sections of the dentin/adhesive interface, differentially stained to identify protein, mineral, and adhesive, were examined using light microscopy. Due to its limited spatial resolution and the unknown sample thickness the infrared results cannot be used quantitatively in determining the extent of diffusion. The results from the micro-Raman spectroscopy and light microscopy indicate exposed protein at the dentin/adhesive interface. Using a laser that reduces background fluorescence, the micro-Raman spectroscopy provides quantitative chemical and morphologic information on the dentin/adhesive interface. The staining procedure is sensitive to sites of pure protein and thus, complements the Raman results. © 1999 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dentin bonding samples are generally observed in the high vacuum chamber of an electron microscope only after completion of the bonding procedure fixation, dehydration and drying of the specimens. The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of each step in the application of various one-bottle dentin bonding agents (DBA) using cryopreparation followed by low-temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM). METHODS Prime&Bond 2.1 (P&B 2.1), Coltène Experimental (Exp.) and Syntac Single Component (Syntac SC) were applied onto perfused dentin of extracted, human third permanent molar teeth. After acid-etching, rinsing and drying, and following the application of the respective resins, the teeth were fractured at random and plunge-frozen in liquid nitrogen before examination under LTSEM. As this method preserves the state of the treated surface at the moment when it is frozen, each step of the application of the DBA can be observed as if it were a 'real-time' procedure. RESULTS Acid-etching the dentin resulted in the removal of the smear layer for all materials tested. Those one-bottle DBAs which recommend the application of two consecutive resin layers (P&B 2.1 and Syntac SC) showed incomplete saturation of the dentinal surface after application of the first layer. With Syntac SC the incomplete saturation was more pronounced than with P&B 2.1. The use of Exp. resulted in a much more homogeneous coverage of the dentin despite only one layer of resin having been applied. CONCLUSION It is concluded that cryo-preparation followed by LTSEM appears to be a method which allows each stage of the application of DBA to be evaluated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Micromechanical retention from the hybrid layer is generally believed to be the mechanism of adhesion of current generation dentin bonding agents. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the interfacial fracture toughness of a commercial dentin bonding agent with and without this hybrid layer. METHODS Ten extracted molars (AB2) were flattened on the occlusal surface, All-Bond 2 Universal Adhesive System (Bisco) was applied according to manufacturer's directions and a resin composite (Prodigy, Kerr) crown was formed. Another group of ten molars (AB2Cl) was handled identically with the exception of a 1 min gentle scrubbing application of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite after acid etching to remove the acid-exposed collagen. Plane-strain chevron-notch short bar fracture toughness specimens were fabricated from all 20 composite crowns and tested according to ASTM E1304-89. Each group was tested to failure in tensile mode at 0.1 mm min-1 and the maximum load at failure was used to determine plane-strain fracture toughness (KQvM). Weibull parameters were calculated and fracture probability distributions were tested for significant difference at the 95% confidence level. Scanning electron microscopy was employed on broken specimens (18/20) to describe the failure mode. RESULTS Weibull distributions were not significantly different with characteristic plane-strain fracture toughness from maximum load (KQvM0) of 0.97 MPa m1/2 and 0.81 MPa m1/2 and a Weibull modulus of 4.7 and 3.9, respectively, for AB2 and AB2Cl. All AB2 samples failed within the adhesive joint, while the AB2Cl crack propagated from the interphase of adhesive resin and dentin to 1-2 microns into dentin. SIGNIFICANCE Under the conditions of this study, the presence of collagen did not contribute to a significantly stronger bonded joint. Interfacial fracture toughness evaluation of the dentin-resin composite bimaterial interface shows promise for future investigations.
