title: The effect of desensitizing treatments on the bond strength of resin composite to dentin mediated by a self-etching primer.
abstract: This study evaluated the bond strength of resin composite to dentin, mediated by a self-etching adhesive, following the application of various dentin desensitizing treatments and artificial saliva storage. The buccal cervical areas of 24 extracted human third molars were ground flat to expose cervical dentin. The dentin surfaces were polished with 1200-grit SiC paper, then the teeth were randomly assigned to six groups, five desensitizing treatments and one control: Group I-VivaSens; Group II-Fluor Protector; Group III-Isodan; Group IV-Futura Bond NR; Group V-Nd:YAG laser and Group VI-Control (without application of a desensitizing agent). After applying the desensitizing treatments and storing the molars in artificial saliva for 14 days at 37 degrees C, Futura Bond NR was used to bond resin composite to dentin. TPH composite build-ups were constructed incrementally to a height of 5 mm. The teeth were sectioned to obtain bonded slices of 0.7 mm thick specimens containing the resin-composite joint. The specimens were then trimmed into an hourglass shape and subsequently subjected to microtensile testing at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/minute. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis analysis and multiple comparisons test. The control (Group VI) and Futura Bond NR self-etching treatment (Group IV) group yielded statistically significant higher bond strength values than the other desensitizing treatment groups tested (p < 0.005). While pretreatment of dentin surfaces with desensitizing agents (Fluor Protector, VivaSens and Isodan) and laser (Nd:YAG) reduced the bond strength values of the resin composite, higher bond strengths were achieved using a self-etching adhesive (Futura Bond NR) as a desensitizing agent.
