Chemical treatment of the intra-canal dentin surface: a new approach to modify dentin hydrophobicity

Abstract: Objective:This study evaluated the hydrophobicity of dentin surfaces that were modified through chemical silanization with octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS).Material and Methods:An in vitro experimental study was performed using 40 human permanent incisors that were divided into the following two groups: non-silanized and silanized. The specimens were pretreated and chemically modified with OTS. After the chemical modification, the dentin hydrophobicity was examined using a water contact angle measurement (WCA). … Show more

“…In all of the surfaces coated with OTS, the contract angle was measured immediately afterward and the latter were at an angle greater than 90 degrees, indicating that the surface had undergone a modification from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. These surfaces maintained contact angles higher than 90 degrees after having been subjected to citric acid for 2 months (10,11,18).…”

“…In the investigations, this image presents a less irregular surface than those we obtained, probably because these authors subjected only the silanized specimens to the demineralization process for 168h and, in the present investigation, these remained for 1,440h, that is, of 2 months. In the EDS or EDX (energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy) analysis was conducted to determine the percentage elements constituted the surface of the analyzed specimen, as carried out in later investigations (10,16,18).…”
