Using bonding agent prior to pits and fissure sealant application enhances the microtensile bond strength and the interface morphology
Background: A pits and fissures sealant is an effective method for preventing dental caries. Using a bonding agent before applying the sealant may increase its retention. This study aimed to compare the microtensile strength (µTBS) of a fissure sealant with and without a bonding agent and to charact...

Using a bonding agent before applying the sealant may increase its retention. This study aimed to compare the microtensile strength (µTBS) of a fissure sealant with and without a bonding agent and to characterize the enamel-sealant interface using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The null hypothesis was that the use of a bonding agent before fissure sealant application would not change the microtensile strength or the enamel-sealant interface. Materials and methods: Twenty caries-free premolars were used. Each tooth was divided into four parts. The first two parts were assigned to the bonded group, where a bonding system was used before sealant application. The remaining two parts were treated only with a fissure sealant (i.e., the nonbonded group). In each group, the µTBS was examined after 24 h (n = 20) and after a 3-month aging period (n = 20). Five other caries-free extracted premolars were used to assess the enamel-sealant interface using CLSM. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson chi-square statistical analysis tests were used to analyze the µTBS and the enamel-sealant interface, respectively. Results: The mean µTBS for the bonded group was significantly higher (p = 0.001) in the immediate group (36.87 ± 14.95 MPa) and the aged group (31.08 ± 15.88 MPa) than in the respective nonbonded groups (19.77 ± 9.67 MPa and 19.52 ± 14.14 MPa). The µTBS was not significantly different in either group after aging (p = 0.46 [bonded group] and p = 0.98 [nonbonded group]). In addition, using a dental adhesive, before applying a fissure sealant resulted in a significantly higher (53%) resin penetration into the enamel with the continuous integrity of the resin. Conclusion: The use of a bonding agent before the application of fissure sealant resulted in superior microtensile bond strength immediately and after aging. In addition, the enamel-sealant interface characteristics were improved.Ahmed AlmahdyAhmed AL-OtaibiAbdulmajeed BinhamdanYaser AlNatheerNasser AlqahtaniAli AlrahlahSahar AlbarakatiElsevierarticleFissure sealantBondingMicrotensile bond strengthConfocal laser scanning microscopyMedicineRDentistryRK1-715ENSaudi Dental Journal, Vol 33, Iss 7, Pp 487-494 (2021) |
