Physical and Bonding Properties of Surface-coating Resins Incorporating Antibacterial Monomer MDPB

抄録

This study evaluated the physical and bonding properties of new surface-coating resins incorporating an antibacterial monomer MDPB (1, 5, 10 or 15 %) to be used for prevention of root surface caries. Although hardness was reduced by the addition of MDPB, abrasive wear of the experimental resins by toothbrushing was considered minimal. The incorporation of MDPB did not adversely affect the bonding ability to cervical dentin. These results suggest that the MDPB-containing coating resins tested are promising for protecting exposed root surfaces from caries for long period.
