Effect of air-blowing temperature and water storage time on the bond strength of five universal adhesive systems to dentin

抄録

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the air-blowing temperature and water storage time on the micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of five universal adhesive systems to dentin. The bond strength with two different air-blowing temperatures (60±2ºC and 23±2ºC) was measured after water storage at 37ºC for 24 h and 100 days respectively. The fracture surface on dentin side was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Three-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of universal system (p<0.001) and air-blowing temperature (p<0.001) on bond strength to dentin except water-storage time (p=0.145). The interaction within three factors was significantly different (p<0.001). It could be concluded that the μTBS of universal systems to dentin was material-depended. The higher and more stable bonding performance of universal systems on dentin could be achieved by air-blowing at 60±2ºC temperature. In addition, the quantity of voids in the adhesive layer of aceton-based universal adhesive was significantly reduced by higher temperature.
