Abstract:

Purpose: To investigate the influence of different gamma irradiation doses on the bond strength to enamel and dentine using two different bonding systems. Materials & Methods: flat enamel and dentin surfaces on human premolars were obtained and cylindrical-shaped specimens for the microshear bond strength were built up with Two types of commercially available adhesive systems which have been used in the study along with two resin composites: Filtek 250 XT nanohybrid with Etch and rinse adhesive system (Adper Scotch Bond Multi-Purpose) and Filtek LS Low Shrink Posterior composite with LS System Adhesive Self-Etch Primer & Bond. The specimens were assigned to 2 groups (n=20), according to the x-ray dose: 35 or 70 Grays (Gy). Radiation was directed to the surface of the resin cylinders. Microshear testing was conducted within one week for bond strength. Data were submitted to three way-ANOVA and Tukay post-hoc test were used when the ANOVA was significant. Independent t-test was used to study the effect of radiation dosage for each group. Results: Bond strength results were dose, material and substrate dependent. 70 GY irradiation dosages produced a significant reduction on micro-shear bond strength compared to 35 GY. Moreover, total etch adhesive system SB produced significant higher values for Micro-Shear bond strength compared to Self-etch LS. Also Enamel produced the highest mean micro-shear bond strength compared to dentine. Conclusion: Irradiation presents a dose-dependent detrimental effect on the bond strength of resin composite to both enamel and dentin.
