title: Effect of chemical irrigants on the bond strength of a self-etching adhesive to pulp chamber dentin.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of endodontic irrigants on adhesion to pulp chamber dentin. Seventy crowns of bovine incisors were cut to expose the pulp chamber. Specimens were divided into seven groups, according to the irrigant solution used: G1, 0.9% sodium chlorite (control); G2, 5.25% NaOCl; G3, 5.25% NaOCl + 17% EDTA; G4, 2% chlorhexidine solution; G5, 2% CHX solution + 17% EDTA; G6, 2% chlorhexidine in a gel base; and G7, 2% CHX gel + 17% EDTA. After irrigation, Clearfil SE Bond was applied to pulp chamber dentin, followed by Filtek Z250 composite. Six rectangular sticks were obtained from each specimen and dentin/resin interface was tested in tension. Bond strength means were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey test. There was a significant decrease in bond strength associated to NaOCl, whereas chlorhexidine irrigation showed no effects on adhesion. It was concluded that endodontic irrigants affected differently bond strength to pulp chamber dentin.
