Objective: To evaluate the effect of MDBP-containing self-etch (SE) adhesive and different dentin surface pretreatments on antibacterial activity Materials and Methods: A total of forty disc shaped specimens fabricated (8 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm thickness) were divided into four main groups according to type of the surface treatment method; deionized water(control), CHX, Papin enzyme and Riboflavin. Each group was sub-divided into 2subgroups (n=5) according to the type of adhesive: classic or MDPB containing SE adhesives. Bonded specimens were stored in deionized water for 24 hr. (n=6). The plates contained dices shaped specimen was incubated at 37 o C for 24. The diameter of inhibition zones were measured with sliding callipers and the data were statistically analyzed using Mann-Whitney U-test and multiple comparisons Kruskal Wallis H-test and level of significance were tested. Result: The diameter of inhibition zones evaluated that Clearfil SE protect has antibacterial activity and pre-surface treatment with CHX and Papin enzyme increased antibactrial activity with both types of adhesives. Conclusions: MDPB containing SE adhesives have antibacterial activity. Application of CHX prior to adhesive application improves antibacterial activity compared to Papin and Riboflavin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
