title: Effects of coating root dentin surfaces with adhesive materials.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of coating root dentin surfaces with adhesives vis-à-vis the prevention of root dentin demineralization. Root dentin surface was ground with #600 SiC, and then either a single coat of Clearfil SE Bond (SE), Clearfil Tri-S Bond (TS), G-Bond (GB), Hybrid Bond (HB-1), or two coats of HB (HB-2) were applied. Specimens were immersed in an artificial demineralizing solution, then sectioned through the center of the root and polished. Thickness of the coating layer and depth of the demineralized dentin layer were observed under a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Nanohardness values of the coating layer and underlying dentin were measured using a nanoindentation tester. All obtained data were statistically analyzed. Dentin demineralization was not observed in the surface coating groups with the exception of HB-1, and nanohardness of the underlying dentin was comparable to that of normal dentin. Based on the results obtained, it seemed that coating root dentin surfaces with an adhesive material is a promising good practice to prevent demineralization.
