“…15 The design and placement of rest seats in enamel, light cured resins, silver amalgam alloy or cast restorations is part of the undergraduate curricula in the UK and USA. 16,17 In the 1970s it was uncommon for the practitioner in a British general dental practice to design his own partial dentures or to make any tooth modification prior to recording his working impression. 18,19 More recently Basker et al showed an improvement in this direction.…”

“…In everyday dental practice, several standard procedures may damage the enamel. For example, designing a partial denture to sound teeth sometimes requires reshaping of the crowns of abutment teeth by grinding off some enamel surface ( Firtell, Kouyoumdjian & Holmes, 1986; Stewart, Rudd & Kuebker, 1993). Occlusal adjustment therapy involves grinding the enamel of the occlusal surfaces ( Clark, Mohl & Riggs, 1988).…”

Clinical procedures, such as acid etching and reshaping of the teeth supporting removable partial dentures by grinding off some enamel surface, increase the permeability of dental enamel. Teeth take several months in vivo to partially recover from such damage. In the meantime, the tooth is more susceptible to carious decay. To prevent this the ground or etched enamel should be effectively protected. Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and a two-chamber diffusion cell the authors studied the influence of adhesive resin applied to the ground and acid-etched enamel surfaces on the diffusion of spin label TMAPO (2,2,6-6 tetramethyl-4-acetamido-piperidine-1-oxyl) molecules through the enamel. The enamel permeability was measured in samples exposed to 1-min etching with 37% phosphoric acid, in samples etched for 5 min, and in samples ground with a diamond bur. Next, all the treated enamel surfaces were coated with Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus(R) dental adhesive system and the permeability measurements repeated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the porosity of enamel surfaces. The adhesive resin film covering the etched or ground enamel surfaces was found to decrease significantly the diffusion through dental enamel. This finding confirms the clinical value of dental adhesives used to protect ground or accidentally acid-etched enamel surfaces. SEM analysis showed that adhesive resin covers the porous surface of the acid-etched and ground enamel tightly.
