RESUMO

The general aim of this study was to evaluate materials and techniques that are thought to increase the longevity of adhesive restorations. The specific aims of this study were: 1) to test whether the application of an extra layer of the respective adhesive or the application of a hydrophobic, non-solvated bonding agent would interfere on the permeability of dentin hybridized with two-step etch-and-rinse adhesives; 2) to test whether the pretreatment of acid-etched dentin with potassium oxalate gel has an effect on the durability of resin-dentin interface created with etch-and-rinse adhesives; and 3) to determine whether the hardness of etch-and-rinse adhesives is affected by the pretreatment of acid-etched dentin with potassium oxalate gel. In the first study, dentin permeability was measured with an automatic record device, before and after dentin surfaces were bonded with the adhesives in the cited experimental conditions. The results showed that none of the adhesives or experimental treatments was capable to block completely the fluid transudation across the treated dentin; however, the application of the hydrophobic nonsolvated bonding agent resulted in significant reductions in the fluid flow rate. In the second study, the resin-dentin bond strength of the adhesives was tested immediately (i.e. 24 hours) and after 12 months of storage. The results showed that the pretreatment of dentin with potassium oxalate affect negatively the baseline resin-dentin bond strength of dentin specimens. After storage, the bond strength of resin-bonded interfaces was significantly reduced for all tested groups. Nevertheless, the decrease in bond strength values was significantly lower for oxalate-treated specimens than for controls. Finally, in the third study, the specimens’ hardness was determined with a hardness tester and express as Knoop Hardness (KHN). The results showed that the baseline KHN of the adhesives applied to acid-etched dentin pretreated with potassium oxalate was significantly lower than that exhibited by their respective controls.
