Adhesion of auto-mixed and manual-mixed self-adhesive resin cements to dentin on exposure to long-term high-altitude pressure

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to test the shear-bond-strengths of auto-mixed and manual-mixed self-adhesive resin cement to dentin on long-term high-altitude pressure. Design/methodology/approach Human molars were embedded in acrylic resin. Sixty composite resin discs were obtained. The composite resin discs were bonded to dentin using hand-mixed and auto-mixed self-adhesive resin cement. After cementation, the samples were stored in artificial saliva and divided into two subgroups (n = 30), hypobaric pressure and the atmospheric pressure group. The specimen underwent three pressure cycles per day for 100 days. The failure types were evaluated after debonding with scanning electron microscopy. The shear bond strength was tested with Universal Testing Machine. Analysis of variances/Tukey post hoc tests were used for statistical analysis. Groups were also evaluated by the Weibull modulus. Findings Regardless of hypobaric pressure changes, the highest bond strength was examined in auto-mixed Panavia SA samples. A significant difference was found in both auto-mixed MaxCem EC and hand-mixed RelyX U200 group after exposure to hypobaric pressure compared to the control group. Originality/value The luting cement-type, mixing methods of cements and environmental pressure changes significantly influence the bond strengths. Dentists can use auto-mixed self-adhesive resins in patients likely to be exposed to hypobaric pressure.

The effect of touch-cure polymerization on the push-out bond strength of fiber posts

“…A major documented disadvantage of the conventional prefabricated (GFRC) posts is the need to prepare the canal to accommodate the posts because their geometries are cylindrical representing an imperfect design of non-circular root canals resulting in additional removal of the tooth structure. In addition, the use of these posts in oval-shaped canals increases the thickness of the cement around the posts ( Santos et al, 2022 , Ata et al, 2023 ). Recently, several efforts have been made to develop new post-core systems, for instance, multiple bundled fiber posts ( Zaghloul et al, 2022 ) and customized fiber posts via composite relining to make it more anatomical and to reduce the bulk of cement ( Alves et al, 2022 ).…”

Hyperbaric Pressure Effect on Dental Luting Cements

“…Barodontalgia and barotrauma can mostly be seen at an altitude of 3000 m above sea level or over a depth of 10 m (3). Atmospheric pressure changes can influence the adhesion and durability of luting cements (2,(4)(5)(6)(7). Kielbassa et al (2018) assessed the impact of atmospheric changes on restorations (8).…”
