SUMMARY Purpose To compare the microhardness of several dual-cure, self-adhesive resin cements used to lute fiber posts at 24 hours and seven days after cementation. Methods Bovine incisors were selected to lute 15 fiber posts that were 12 mm long (FRC Postec Plus size 3, Ivoclar-Vivadent). Five resin cements were tested: Multilink Automix (Ivoclar-Vivadent), without light-curing, and the self-adhesive resin cements Maxcem Elite (Kerr), RelyX Unicem (3M ESPE), G-Cem (GC), and Smartcem 2 (Dentsply), which were light-cured for 40 seconds (LED Bluephase, Ivoclar-Vivadent). Each root was embedded in chemically cured acrylic resin and stored at 37°C for 24 hours. The roots were transversally sectioned into nine specimens that were each 1 mm thick, with three specimens corresponding to each root third. Indentations (100g, 30 seconds) were performed on each section in the resin cement, at 24 hours and seven days after cementation, using a Vickers digital microdurometer (Buehler). Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance, Student-Newman-Keuls test, and paired t-test (p<0.05). Results A significant influence was found (p<0.05) for the resin cement evaluated, the root third, and their interactions on microhardness values at 24 hours and seven days after post cementation. RelyX Unicem and G-Cem exhibited the highest microhardness values, whereas Multilink Automix presented the lowest. All resin cements suffered a decrease in microhardness according to root canal depth, with the exception of G-Cem and Multilink Automix at 24 hours and Smartcem 2 after seven days. After seven days, the evaluated resin cements showed a significant increase in microhardness values, with the exception of Maxcem Elite and Smartcem 2 at the coronal third. Conclusions Microhardness of the self-adhesive resin cements when used to lute fiber posts was material-dependent and higher values were obtained in the coronal third, revealing their sensitivity to light irradiation. More information regarding the polymerization reaction of these cements is warranted. According to the current results, microhardness values were significantly higher one week after post luting.

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the influence of relining fiber posts on the bond strength (BS) of resin cements in the root canal. Forty bovine teeth were divided in four groups (n = 10)G1 (ARC)—fiber post cemented with resin cement RelyX ARC; G2 (ARC+Z350)—relined fiber post cemented with RelyX ARC; G3 (U200)—fiber post cemented with self-adhesive cement RelyX U200; G4 (U200+Z350)—relined fiber post cemented with RelyX U200. The roots were sectioned in six 1.2-mm slices and the push-out test was performed. Data were analyzed by three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). For the conventional resin cement, there was no significant difference between groups G1-ARC (15.5 ± 3.8) and G2-ARC+Z350 (16.1 ± 4.5). For the self-adhesive cement, the results revealed higher BS values for relined posts G4-U200 + Z350 (19.9 ± 7.9) as compared to non-relined posts G3-U200 (14.4 ± 4.5). For both cements, in groups of relined posts, the apical and the cervical thirds presented similar BS. Relining enhances the performance of the self-adhesive resin cement, and the interaction between relining and root third influences the BS to the conventional resin cement.

The cure time of endodontic sealers may influence the bond strength of fiber posts to root dentin. Forty teeth were selected and endodontically filled using calcium hydroxide cement and then divided into 2 groups according to the time elapsed between endodontic filling and post luting (n = 20): Immediately - glass fiber post luting immediately after endodontic filling; and Delayed - post luting performed 7 days after endodontic filling. The roots were also subdivided according to resin cement used for post luting (RelyX ARC and RelyX Unicem). The specimens were stored at 37°C for 24 h and sectioned in six 1-mm-thick slices from cervical, middle and apical thirds. The slice specimens were submitted to a push-out test at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min, and the bond strength values obtained (MPa) were submitted to two-way ANOVA in a split-plot arrangement and Tukey's test (α=0.05). For both RelyX ARC and Unicem, the bond strength was significantly higher when the posts were cemented 7 days after the endodontic treatment. RelyX Unicem showed significantly higher bond strength values than RelyX ARC for both cementation periods. It was concluded that post luting should be made after the complete setting of the root canal sealer. Self-adhesive resin cement should be preferred for fiber post luting.

SUMMARY Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of various self-adhesive resin cements on the push-out bond strengths and nanoleakage expression at the luting interfaces of fiber posts immediately and after one year of aging. Methods and Materials: One hundred forty-four extracted human anterior teeth were endodontically treated. After post space preparation, fiber posts were luted using five commercially available self-adhesive resin (SAR) cements and a core build-up material applied with a self-etch adhesive (BF: Bifix SE/Rebilda Post, VOCO; CSA: Clearfil SA Cement/Rely X Fiber Post, 3M ESPE; RX: RelyX Unicem 2/Rely X Fiber Post, 3M ESPE; SPC: Speed Cem/FRC Postec, Ivoclar Vivadent; SMC: Smart Cem/X Post, Dentsply; RB: Rebilda DC-Futurabond/Rebilda Post; n=22). For each group, half of the specimens were subjected to thermocycling (TC) (5°C-55°C, 10,000 cycles) and stored humid for one year at 37°C. Push-out bond strength data of six slices (thickness 1 mm) per root and nanoleakage expression of representative specimens were evaluated after 24 hours (baseline) and after TC and storage for one year (aging), respectively. Results: Bond strength differed significantly among resin cements (p<0.0005) and the location inside the root canal (p<0.0005), but not by aging (p=0.390; repeated-measures analysis of variance). SMC (14.6±5.8 MPa) and RX (14.1±6.8 MPa) revealed significantly higher bond strength compared to BF (10.6±5.4 MPa) and RB (10.0±4.6 MPa) but differed not significantly from SPC (12.8±4.8) MPa; CSA (6.1±4.6 MPa) revealed significantly lower bond strength compared to all other investigated materials (p<0.05; Tukey Honestly Significantly Different). Qualitative nanoleakage analysis revealed more silver deposits at the interface in all groups after aging. For CSA, a large amount of silver deposits inside the cement was also observed at baseline and after aging. Conclusions: Fiber post luting using SAR cements demonstrated reliable bond strengths. Product-specific differences and initial degradation effects could be demonstrated.

SUMMARY The present study determined the mechanical properties and impact-sliding wear characteristics of self-adhesive resin cements. Five self-adhesive resin cements were used: G-CEM LinkAce, BeautiCem SA, Maxcem Elite, Clearfil SA Automix, and RelyX Unicem 2. Clearfil Esthetic Cement was employed as a control material. Six specimens for each resin cement were used to determine flexural strength, elastic modulus, and resilience according to ISO specification #4049. Ten specimens for each resin cement were used to determine the wear characteristics using an impact-sliding wear testing apparatus. Wear was generated using a stainless-steel ball bearing mounted inside a collet assembly. The maximum facet depth and volume loss were determined using a noncontact profilometer in combination with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Data were evaluated using analysis of variance followed by the Tukey honestly significantly different test (α=0.05). The flexural strength of the resin cements ranged from 68.4 to 144.2 MPa; the elastic modulus ranged from 4.4 to 10.6 GPa; and the resilience ranged from 4.5 to 12.0 MJ/m3. The results for the maximum facet depth ranged from 25.2 to 235.9 μm, and volume loss ranged from 0.0107 to 0.5258 mm3. The flexural properties and wear resistance were found to vary depending upon the self-adhesive resin cement tested. The self-adhesive cements tended to have lower mechanical properties than the conventional resin cement. All self-adhesive resin cements, apart from G-CEM LinkAce, demonstrated significantly poorer wear resistance than did the conventional resin cement.

SUMMARY Because there are several ways to cement glass-fiber posts (GFPs) into root canals, there is no consensus on the best strategy to achieve high bond strengths. A systematic review was conducted to determine if there is difference in bond strength to dentin between regular and self-adhesive resin cements and to verify the influence of several variables on the retention of GFPs. This report followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. In vitro studies that investigated the bond strength of GFPs luted with self-adhesive and regular resin cements were selected. Searches were carried out in the PubMed and Scopus databases. No publication year or language limit was used, and the last search was done in October 2012. A global comparison was performed between self-adhesive and regular resin cements. Two subgroup analyses were performed: 1) Self-adhesive × Regular resin cement + Etch-and-rinse adhesive and 2) Self-adhesive × Regular resin cement + Self-etch adhesive. The analyses were carried out using fixed-effect and random-effects models. The results showed heterogeneity in all comparisons, and higher bond strength to dentin was identified for self-adhesive cements. Although the articles included in this meta-analysis showed high heterogeneity and high risk of bias, the in vitro literature seems to suggest that use of self-adhesive resin cement could improve the retention of GFPs into root canals.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the curing modes of two adhesive resin cements (Light cure mode of the Variolink Veneer, the self-cure mode and dual cure mode of the Multilink Automix) on the marginal leakage of lithium disilicate ceramic laminate veneers. Methods: A total number of forty eight extracted natural central incisors were prepared to receive ceramic laminate veneers, constructed using E-max ceramic divided into three groups cemented using three curing modes of two adhesive resin cements {light-cure mode of Variolink Veneer, self-cure mode of Multilink Automix and dual-cure mode of Multilink Automix adhesive resin cements} . Die penetration test was done using the methylene blue stain {qualitative assessment} for testing the die penetration along the tooth/ceramic interface. Results: Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that the self-curing mode recorded the significantly least degree of leakage compared to the light and dual cure modes.  The self-cure mode recorded (0.1±0.3) which was significantly lower than light cure (1.2 ±0.9) and dual cure mode (1.2 ±0.4), there was no statistical significant difference between the later two curing modes. The self-cure mode of the resin cement is considered a more effective method for having the least marginal leakage at the tooth/ceramic interface. There was no difference between the light cure mode and the dual cure mode.

Resin based luting cement application generally requires pre-treatment procedure such as etching and adhesive application prior to cementation. This multi-step application technique might compromise bonding alternative effectiveness and is time consuming. An alternative for multi-step resin cement is the self-adhesive resin cement that combines the use of etch, adhesive and cement in one single application. The objective of this study was to compare the bonding effectiveness of the multi-step resin cement and the self-adhesive resin cement using tensile bond strength method towards indirect composite block dentin surface. This study was a true experimental research conducted by in vitro method on 30 flat dentin surfaces created from extracted lower premolars samples. Samples were divided into two groups, each 15 samples for multi-step and self-adhesive resin cements. An indirect composite block (2x2x10 mm) was then cemented to each dentin surface using multi-step resin cement (Rely X ARC, 3M ESPE) or self-adhesive resin cement (Rely X Unicem, 3M ESPE) according to manufacture’s instruction. Samples were storage for 24 hours in saline water and tensile bond strength of each samples were tested using the LRX Plus Lyod Instrument at 1 mm/minute speed. The result of the study concluded that the tensile bond strength of multi-step resin cement towards indirect composite restoration and dentin surface was significantly higher than the self-adhesive resin cement.

AbstractThe evolution of dental materials and the improvement of ceramic systems stimulated the increased use of Y-TZP zirconia-based ceramics. Despite the excellent mechanical performance, this material has low adhesion potential. The objective of this work was to evaluate the surface treatments and resin cements influence on bond strength between Y-TZP zirconia and composite resin interface. A total of 60 blocks of Y-TZP zirconia (3x8x8mm) were prepared and divided into 3 groups according to the surface treatments: (C) control - extra fine diamond bur, (J) sandblasting with Al2O3 and (JP) sandblasting with Al2O3 + ceramic primer. Each group was subdivided into two groups according to type of resin cement used for cementing composite resin discs (2mm thick x 5mm diameter): self-adhesive and conventional (n=10). The samples were stored in distilled water for 24 hours at 37±1°C in a incubator and subsequently submitted to the shear bond test to determine the bond strength (RU). There was no significant difference in RU among the  surface treatments when using conventional resin cement. For the self-adhesive resin cement, Al2O3 blasting and Al2O3 + primer blasting increased the RU but did not present significant differences between them (p<0.05). Comparing the cements, it was observed that regardless of the surface treatment, the highest values were for the self-adhesive resin cement (p<0.05). Application of the primer after blasting with Al2O3 did not increase RU. Keywords: Dental Prosthesis. Ceramics. Dental cements. Shear Strength.  ResumoA evolução dos materiais odontológicos e o aprimoramento dos sistemas cerâmicos impulsionaram o aumento da utilização da cerâmica a base de zircônia Y-TZP. Apesar do excelente desempenho mecânico, este material apresenta baixo potencial de adesão. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência dos tratamentos de superfícies e dos cimentos resinosos na resistência de união entre a interface zircônia Y-TZP e resina composta. Foram confeccionados 60 blocos de zircônia Y-TZP (3x8x8 mm) e divididos em 03 grupos de acordo com os tratamentos de superfícies que receberam: (C) controle - ponta diamantada extrafina, (J) jateamento com Al2O3 e (JP) jateamento com Al2O3 + primer cerâmico. Cada grupo foi subdividido em dois novos grupos de acordo com tipo de cimento resinoso utilizado para cimentação de discos de resina composta (2mm de espessura x 5mm de diâmetro): autoadesivo e resinoso convencional (n=10). As amostras foram armazenadas em água destilada por 24 horas a 37±1°C em estufa e posteriormente submetidas ao teste de cisalhamento para averiguar a resistência de união (RU). Não houve diferença significativa na RU entre os tratamentos de superfície quando utilizado o cimento resinoso convencional. Para o cimento resinoso autoadesivo o jateamento com Al2O3 e o jateamento de Al2O3 + primer aumentaram a RU porém não apresentaram diferenças significativas entre si (p<0,05). Comparando os cimentos observou-se que, independente do tratamento de superfície, os maiores valores foram para o cimento resinoso autoadesivo (p<0,05). A aplicação do primer após o jateamento com Al2O3 não proporcionou aumento da RU. Palavras-chave: Prótese Dentária. Cerâmica. Cimentos Dentários. Resistência ao Cisalhamento.
