Shear Bond Strength of Three Composite Resins to Fluorosed and Sound Dentine: In Vitro Study

Abstract EN

Introduction.

This in vitro study compared the shear strength of three composite resin systems to fluorosed and normal dentin.

Methods.

Silorane FiltekTM P90, FiltekTMZ250 XT in combination with the adhesive system AdperTM Single bond 2, and Amelogen® Plus in association with Peak Universal Bond® were tested.

Fifteen normal and 15 fluorosed dentine disks were prepared per material.

The shear bond strength test was performed using a universal machine.

Results.

One-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in bond strength between the tested composite resins.

All tested materials had significantly different adhesion at the fluorosed and the nonfluorosed interface.

FiltekTM Z250 XT and Silorane had lower adhesion values to fluorosed than to normal dentin.

In contrast, Amelogen® Plus presented a better average resistance at the fluorosed interface.

Conclusion.

Amelogen® Plus presented a better average shear bond strength on the fluorosed dentine.

FiltekTMZ250 XT showed the best adhesion forces and shear bond strength with sound dentine.

Further studies are needed to better understand the sealing of these systems.
