Resin bonding to enamel and dentin with one-component UDMA/HEMA adhesives.
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of UDMA/HEMA mixtures as priming and sealing components of dental adhesives. The monomers were mixed in weight ratios 100/0, 80/20, 60/40, 50/50, 40/60, 20/80, 10/90, and 0/100, light activated, and dissolved in acetone at equal parts. The 60/40 UDMA/HEMA mixture served as a reference which was modified with 5, 10, 20, and 30 parts 4-MET relative to the mass of the basic monomer mixture. Shear bond strengths (24 h) of resin composite cylinders, bonded with the adhesive monomers on human enamel and dentin, were determined following a total etch technique with phosphoric acid and application of the adhesives in 2 coats on moist tooth surfaces. Average bond strength to enamel was 32 MPa with no difference between the adhesives. On dentin, significantly different bond strengths were found between UDMA (12.9 MPA) and HEMA (19.4 MPa), whereas all binary mixtures' bond strengths were not significantly different (mean 16.2 MPa). Addition of 5 to 20 wt% 4-MET resulted in a significantly increased mean shear bond strength of 22.3 MPa on dentin. At 10%, a maximum mean strength of 25.4 MPa was recorded. It is concluded that mixtures of commonly used polymerizable monomers, characterized by hydrophilic moieties and dissolved in acetone, are promising candidates for effective resin bonding to enamel and dentin, provided application by the moist bonding technique.
