Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of the age and sex of tooth donors on dentin bond strength.
Methods: A total of 38 extracted teeth (12 male and 26 female donors; age range: 17–82 years) were used in this study. In addition to donor age and sex, four other microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test specimen factors were evaluated: dentin position, bonding area, presence of voids at the interface, and computed tomography (CT) values of dentin. The μTBS was measured immediately (24 h) and 6 months after storage in water. After the μTBS testing, linear mixed and nonlinear regression models were used to analyze the effects of these factors on the μTBS data.
Results: The results from the linear mixed model revealed that the bonding area (P = 0.02), presence of voids at the interface (P = 0.04), and storage time (P < 0.001) significantly affected bond strength. In contrast, no correlation was observed between the μ TBS and dentin position (P = 0.08) or sex (P = 0.07). The results of the nonlinear regression model with robust variance–covariance estimators revealed that age significantly affected bond strength (P < 0.001). In addition, a significant positive correlation was found between μTBS and age (P < 0.001), with nonlinearity (P = 0.002). However, no correlation was observed between the μTBS and CT values (P = 0.69) without nonlinearity (P = 0.39).
Conclusions: These findings suggest that bond strength increases with age until 60 years but not afterward.
