    Journal: Am J Dent; 2008 Aug; 21(4):233-8. PubMed ID: 18795519.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of pulpal pressure on the microtensile bond strength of four self-etch adhesives to dentin. A total-etch adhesive was added for comparison. METHODS: 60 freshly extracted human third molars were selected. For each tooth, the root was removed below the cemento-enamel junction. A second parallel section was made to remove the coronal enamel to form a crown segment. The root portion of the resulting crown segment was cemented to a Plexiglas platform using cyanoacrylate cement. The crown segment was then connected with a plastic tube to a water column to produce a pressure of 20 cm H2O at the prepared dentin surface of the crown segment. The adhesive materials were: a total-etch adhesive (Scotchbond 1) and four self-etch adhesives (Clearfil SE Bond, Hybrid Bond, Futurabond NR, and AdheSE Bond). The tested adhesives were applied to the dentin surface in three test procedures: applied to dentin without pulpal pressure, applied to dentin with pulpal pressure for 24 hours, and applied to dentin with pulpal pressure and the pressure was maintained for 6 months during storage. Grandio resin composite was placed in 3-4 layers to a height of 5-6 mm to form a crown segment. For bond strength measurement, the composite-dentin segment was removed from the Plexiglas. This segment was then sectioned to prepare the specimens for microtensile bond measurement. RESULTS: None of the tested adhesives showed bond strength reduction when applied to dentin supplied with water pressure. After 6 months of pulpal pressure, Scotchbond 1, Clearfil SE Bond and AdheSE Bond showed significant reduction in bond strength (P < 0.05). In contrast, Futurabond NR and Hybrid Bond were not significantly affected.
