Effect of a re-wetting agent on bond strength of an adhesive to primary and permanent teeth dentin after different etching techniques

Abstract

Acid etching in permanent teeth; laser etching in primary teeth was found more successful. The use of re-wetting agent did not provide an advance on bond strength of the adhesive in both primary and permanent teeth after acid-etch or laser-etch.

Effect of Cavity Disinfectants on Adhesion to Primary Teeth—A Systematic Review

“…Sixteen in vitro studies [ 12 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ] were included in this systematic review.…”

“…Most authors used primary molars [ 12 , 16 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 30 ], but Monghini et al [ 17 ] evaluated canines, and Mohammadi et al [ 29 ] used anterior teeth. Sample size varied from 2 [ 25 ] to 20 [ 28 , 31 ] teeth per group.…”

“…After extraction, teeth were stored in thymol [ 12 , 18 , 28 ], chloramine [ 16 , 22 , 23 , 27 , 30 ], distilled water [ 16 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 27 , 30 , 32 ], saline solution [ 17 , 26 ], or sodium azide [ 17 , 21 ]. Ricci et al [ 19 ] and Mohammadi [ 29 ] did not report data on the storage medium used after teeth extraction.…”

“…Most of the authors reported the use of 2% chlorhexidine [ 12 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 25 , 28 , 29 ] as a cavity disinfectant. A few studies reported results on the application of sodium hypochlorite [ 16 , 24 , 27 ], Er:YAG laser [ 17 , 21 , 26 ], KTP laser [ 25 ], ozone [ 25 ], doxycycline [ 29 ], ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) [ 29 ], propolis [ 25 ], and Aqua-prep™ (Bisco, Schaumburg, IL, USA) [ 26 ].…”

“…The Er:YAG laser was evaluated by three studies [ 17 , 21 , 26 ]. Monghini et al [ 17 ] reported statistically significant negative results when testing the laser with three different working parameters.…”
