Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of additional enamel etching with phosphoric acid on the microleakage of the adhesion of self-etching primer system.
Class V cavity(4 mm×3 mm×1.5 mm) preparations with all margins in enamel were prepared on buccal surface of 42 extracted human upper central incisor teeth. Prepared teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups.
Group 1 : no additional pretreatment with 37% phosphoric acid (NE).
Group 2 : additional pretreatment with 37% phosphoric acid for 10 seconds (E10s).
Group 3 : additional pretreatment with 37% phosphoric acid for 20 seconds (E20s).
The adhesives(Clearfil SE Bond®, Kuraray, Osaka, Japan) and composite resins(Clearfil AP-X®, Osaka, Kuraray, Japan) were applied following the manufacturer's instructions. All the specimens were finished with the polishing disc(3M dental product, St Paul, MN, USA), thermocycled for 500 cycles between 5℃ and 55℃ and resected apical 3-mm root. 0.028 stainless steel wire was inserted apically into the pulp chamber of each tooth and sealed into position with sticky wax. Surrounding tooth surface was covered with a nail varnish 2 times except areas 1 mm far from all the margins. After drying for one day, soaked the samples in the distilled water. Microleakage was assessed by electrochemical method(System 6514, Electrometer®, Keithley, USA) in the distilled water.
In this study, the microleakage was the lowest in group 1(NE) and the highest in group 3(E20s)(NE<E10s<E20s). But no statistically significant differences were found(p=0.5).
On the basis of findings from this experiment, it can be concluded that additional enamel etching has no influence on the microleakage of the adhesion of self-etching primer system.
