This study investigated the shear bond strength of a new 4-META adhesive cement (C & B-Metabond) to dentin and Ni-Cr-Be alloy (Rexillium III). Fifteen human molar teeth had dentin bonding sites prepared by grinding away the enamel on a water-cooled abrasive wheel to a 600 grit. Fifteen metal alloy specimens were cast, ground to a 600 grit, and air abraded with 50 micron alumina. The 4-META cement was applied to the dentin and metal in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. After 24 hours in water at 37 degrees C, the shear bond strengths were recorded. The mean bond strength to dentin and the metal alloy was 20.1 megapascals.

The tensile median fatigue limits and fracture mode of 4-META cement were evaluated after bonding Ni-Cr, Ni-Cr-Be, and Co-Cr alloys to enamel. Alloy surfaces, 6 mm in diameter, were grit blasted with 50 microns Al2O3 and cemented to etched bovine enamel under a 2 kg load. Samples were cycled in tension to failure or 10(6) cycles at 5 Hz in Ringer's solution at 37 degrees C. Two-point strategy was used to determine median fatigue limits (S50). Fracture modes were evaluated by SEM on samples failing before 10(6) cycles. Results indicated differences between all sample groups where S50 (Ni-Cr-Be) > S50 (Co-Cr) > S50 (Ni-Cr). Failure analysis revealed mixed cohesive fractures near both interfaces with small areas of delamination within the cement. Comparison to reported median fatigue limits of two commercially available cements were discussed.

Chevron-notch fracture toughness, diametrical tensile strength and fractography were evaluated for bulk amalgams and for bonds formed between new and 1-day-old amalgams of the same type. Three types of bonded specimens were prepared: 1) by mechanically roughening the 1-day-old amalgam with 600-grit paper; 2) using a new mercury-rich amalgam; and 3) using a bonding resin, either 4-META or a phosphate ester monomer. Similar values in bond properties were obtained with all bonding techniques for two commercial dispersed-phase bonded amalgams, one of which contained palladium; however, bulk fracture toughness of the palladium-containing amalgam was significantly less than for the palladium-free amalgam. This result reveals that the bonding of amalgam to amalgam, at least for these two amalgams, is a surface-related phenomenon, and thus, the traditional reporting of bonding properties as a percentage of bulk properties loses meaning. Short-rod geometry was more representative of the interfacial bond properties since these samples fractured within the interfacial bonds, while diametrical strength samples often fractured slightly away from the interface. The use of bonding resins did not improve bond fracture toughness for either amalgam, while the diametrical strength improved for one of the amalgams. The use of mercury-rich amalgam significantly improved the fracture toughness over all other techniques for one amalgam while proving to be similar to a 600-grit preparation for the second amalgam.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of citric acid and glutaraldehyde (GA) on the resin bonding to Er: YAG laser-irradiated dentin. Bovine dentin was prepared with 180- to 600-grit SiC paper and then uniformly irradiated with an Er: YAG laser (laser-irradiated group) or immersed in water at 60 degrees C for 15 min (heated group). The samples were then acid-conditioned with 10% citric acid (10-0) or 10% citric acid/3% ferric chloride (10-3) for 15 s and treated with GA for 10 min before bonding to an acrylic rod with 4-META/MMA-TBB resin. These samples were trimmed to prepare miniaturized dumbbell-shaped specimens. After storage in water at 37C for 1 d, the tensile bond strength was measured, and the fractured surface was evaluated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In the laser-irradiated and heated groups, the 10-3+GA-treated specimen had higher bond strength than that of 10-0+GA. On the other hand, the tensile bond strength of 10-3 +GA in the non-irradiated group was lower that that of 10-0+GA. In conclusion, the combination of 10-3 and GA for bonding with 4-META/MMA-TBB resin was the most effective for Er: YAG laser-irradiated dentin and heated dentin, but it was not effective for the non-irradiated dentin.
