It has been proposed that calcium ions play a key role in chemical (chelate) binding between the adhesive resin and dentin surface. However, no data is available concerning how calcium ions are distributed at the binding sites. The aim of this study is to demonstrate calcium ions at the resin-dentin interface by means of X-ray microanalysis and calcium ion-sensitive histochemical staining. The dentin surface in human teeth was ground by use of 240 grit silicon carbide abrasive paper under running water and treated with the dentin-primer and adhesive resin in Clearfil Liner Bond System or IMPERVA Bond System according to the manufacturer's instructions. After removing dentin matrix and isolating adhesive resin by the KOH-digestion method, one half of the samples were processed for scanning electron microscopy. The rest were embedded in Epon 812 and processed either for glyoxal bis (2-hydroxyanil) (GBHA) staining or transmission electron microscopy combined with X-ray microanalysis. Transmission electron microscopy revealed Ca-phosphate deposits at the bottom of the resin-impregnated layer. The adhesive resin above the resin-impregnated layer was amorphous and showed no precipitates of Ca-phosphate. GBHA displayed intense calcium reactions throughout the resin-impregnated layer and also moderate ones in the 10 microns (Clearfil Liner Bond System) or 30 microns (IMPERVA Bonding System) thick boundary zone of the adhesive resin as well as in the resin tags. These data are the first to offer a distinct localization of calcium ions within the adhesive resin at the dentin-resin interface.

The aim of this in situ study was to compare the fluoride uptake and composite resin bond strength on enamel fluoridated with Duraphat (2.26 wt% fluoride). Six enamel specimens were prepared from the labial surfaces of 39 bovine incisors. The enamel samples were embedded into epoxy resin, and ground flat (800 grit). One specimen served as negative control (no fluoride treatment). The other samples were fluoridated with Duraphat for 24 hours under moist conditions, and one of them served as positive control. The remaining four samples were inserted in both buccal aspects (with a total of 12 samples originating from 3 teeth) of 13 intraoral mandibular appliances. The appliances were worn by 13 persons for a period of 6 days, 24 hours per day. The samples were also brushed twice a day, in situ, with a fluoride-free toothpaste. During meals, the appliances were stored in saline. After in situ periods of 36, 72, 108, and 144 hours, three samples each were remounted. One specimen was used for analysis of both alkali-soluble and acquired fluoride. The other two specimens served for shear bond strength testing of a light-cured composite resin. While the KOH-soluble fluoride increased significantly (p < 0.001, ANOVA) after application of the fluoride lacquer and decreased slowly with time, both the acquired fluoride and bond strengths of the composite resin did not differ significantly from the non- and fluoridated controls. The application of highly concentrated fluoride lacquers results in an increase of alkali-soluble fluoride, but does not adversely affect enamel bond strength of composite resin.
