Effect of resin coating on dentin bond durability of a resin cement over 1 year

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of resin coating of bonded dentin on the micro-tensile bond strengths of a resin cement to dentin over 1 year. Methods: Human molars were ground to obtain flat dentin surfaces and divided into three groups. The dentin surfaces were left as a control, or resin-coated with a combination of a dentin bonding system, Clearfil SE Bond (SE), and one of two lining materials: Protect Liner F (PLF) (SE/PLF) or Ionosit Micro Spand (IMS). The dentin surfaces with or without resin coating were covered with a temporary filling material (Cavit-G) and stored in water for 1 day. After removal of Cavit-G, an indirect composite block (Estenia) was bonded with Panavia F following..
