title: [Effect of quaternary ammonium methacrylates incorporation into a dental adhesive on the resistance of enzymatic degradation of resin-dentine interfaces].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of quaternary ammonium methacrylates incorporation into a dental adhesive on the resistance of enzymatic degradation of resin-dentine interfaces.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty caries-free extracted human third molars were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10): 2-methacryloxylethyl dodecylmethyl ammonium bromide (MAE-DB) incorporated adhesive served as the experimental group, pre-treatment with chlorhexidine (CHX) served as a positive control, Adper(TM) Single Bond 2 served as a negative control. The resin-dentin interfaces were prepared using total etch bond system. After storage in distilled water at 37 °C for 24 h, the bonded teeth were vertically sectioned into beams. Beams were respectively immersed in artificial saliva containing 2 g/L MMP-8 at 37 °C for 0 h, 24 h and 120 h (n = 30). Micro-tensile bond strength, failure modes and nanoleakage were examined.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were no significantly differences of micro-tensile bond strength between groups before hydrolysis (P > 0.05). After the enzymatic hydrolysis of 24 h and 120 h, the micro-tensile bond strength of MAE-DB groups [(31.13 ± 8.77) MPa, (24.14 ± 6.64) MPa] were significantly higher than that of the negative control groups [(25.63 ± 6.90) MPa, (15.22 ± 6.57) MPa] (P < 0.05). Most of the failures were found in the base part of the hybrid layer in the negative control group, while failures occurred through the top of the hybrid layer in CHX and MAE-DB groups after the enzymatic hydrolysis.Specimens from each immediate group showed minor silver deposits in hybrid layer. After beams being enzymatic hydrolyzed for 120 h, it was shown that the silver nitrate uptake in the negative control group were significantly different from those in the CHX and MAE-DB groups (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Dental adhesive incorporation of MAE-DB could improve the anti-degrade ability of resin-dentin interfaces.
