The purposes of this study were to investigate the reliability and efficiency of a new evaluation method for resin bonding to root canal dentin, which measures both marginal adaptation and shear bond strength simultaneously, and to determine the effects of root canal irrigants on resin bonding. A wet bonding system (Single Bond) and a self-etching primer system (Clearfil Mega Bond) were employed; NaClO was used as a root canal irrigant. No gaps or changes in bond strength were observed despite the NaClO treatment when the wet bonding system was employed, while the gap formation ratio increased, and bond strength decreased with longer NaClO treatment time when the self-etching primer system was employed. These findings suggested that this new experimental method was effective for evaluating resin systems to the root canal wall dentin which is affected by irrigation with NaClO.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate coronal leakage inhibition using a resin-coating technique after endodontic treatment. Thirty-six human incisors were cut at the cementoenamel junction, and endodontic obturations were performed. The specimens were randomly divided into three groups according to post space preparation(10 mm depth) , resin coating, and temporization. For the resin coating, the dentin surface was coated with either a combination of Clearfil SE Bond and Protect Liner F(SE/PLF)or RZII(RZ) . Then, the specimens were stored in 37℃ distilled water for 24 hours and placed in 1% methylene blue solution for 48 hours. After which, the specimens were sectioned faciolingually along the root canal and the length of dye penetration was measured from the cementoenamel junction. Three-way ANOVA revealed that the dye penetration scores were influenced by post space preparation, resin coating, and temporization. Resin coating with RZ significantly reduced the dye penetration score and SE/PLF completely eliminated dye penetration.
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.
