Effect of different surface pretreatment methods on repair bond strength of resin composite subjected to pH-cycling

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different repair methods (Er:YAG laser and bur) with or without silane application on the microtensile bond strength of a nanohybrid resin composite aged with two different aging methods (pH cycling and thermocycling). Material and Method: Resin composite blocks (Clearfil Majesty Esthetic, Kuraray, Japan) were randomly assigned into two groups for aging process: (a) pH cycling (b) thermocycling (5,000 cycles). After aging, the blocks were assigned to one of the following repair procedures: (1) Er:YAG laser (LightWalker STE-E, Fotona Medical Lasers, Ljubljana, Slovenia) (2) Er:YAG laser+silane (3) bur (4) bur+silane and (5) no-pretreatment group and (6) Cohesive control (cohesive strength of the resin). Resin composite (Clearfil Majesty Esthetic) was bonded to the conditioned substrates incrementally and light polymerized. Repaired samples were thermocycled (5.000 cycles). The microtensile bonding test was performed. The data were analyzed using Scheirer-Ray-Hare, Kruskal-Wallis Mann-Whitney U tests, Chi-square and Z tests with Bonferroni correction (p=0.05). Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the aging methods applied to filling material (p=0.821) and the interaction of applied surface treatments and aging (p=0.289). All repair procedures achieved bond strength values higher than the no-pretreatment group but they did not reach the resin composite’s cohesive bond strength. Failure modes distribution was found statistically different according to repair procedure and also aging methods (p<0.05). Conclusion: The bond strengths of the resin composites were similar to those of applied thermal cycling and the pH cycling model with no difference between the different repair methods.
