title: Gluma shear bond strength to enamel and dentin treated with pyruvic acid and glycine.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pyruvic acid and glycine on the shear bond strength (SBS) of the Gluma Bonding System to dentin and enamel. Forty-five mandibular and maxillary permanent first and second molars and 45 maxillary permanent central incisors were used in the study. Fifteen test specimens were prepared with each of the following procedures. Dentin: using the conventional Gluma Bonding System (A); the Gluma 2 Cleanser was replaced with 10% pyruvic acid containing 10% glycine with pH 2.8 (B); or the dentin was etched with 10% pyruvic acid (pH 1.5) followed by the application of 10% glycine with pH adjusted to 9.0 (C). Enamel: etched with Gluma 1 Etchant (D); etched with 10% pyruvic acid containing 10% glycine (E); or etched with 10% pyruvic acid followed by the application of 10% glycine (F). The test specimens were disassembled 15 minutes after cure, stored in physiological saline at 37 degrees C for 24 hours, and the SBS determined in an Instron machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm.min.-1 The SBS was expressed in MPa. The data were analyzed by ANOVA and the Student-Newman-Keuls test. The mean +/- SD of the SBS in MPa were: A: 8.7 +/- 5.2; B: 14.7 +/- 4.6; C: 12.8 +/- 4.8; D: 19.8 +/- 3.8; E: 18.0 +/- 3.1; F: 17.6 +/- 3.5. The application of 10% pyruvic acid containing 10% glycine, and 10% pyruvic acid followed by 10% glycine, resulted in a significant increase in SBS to dentin. The SBS to enamel treated with the three procedures were not significantly different.
