Abstract
Objective: This study was to assess the effects of nanoAg-ACP microparticles as additional fillers on the shear bond strength of Phase II Dual Cure orthodontic adhesive and the enamel demineralisation of teeth using such adhesive.
Materials and methods: Experimental adhesive was formulated by incorporating 2.5 wt% nanoAg-ACP microparticles into Phase II Dual Cure immediately before use. Brackets were bonded to extracted human premolars using Phase II Dual Cure for one group and experimental adhesive for the second. Samples in each group were randomly assigned to three sub-groups for different post-bonding treatments. Debonding force was measured after post-bonding treatments and used to calculate shear bond strength. DIAGNOdent was used to assess enamel demineralisation for sub-groups treated with acid gels.
Results: The shear bond strength for Phase II Dual Cure and experimental adhesive was 19.06 ± 2.88 and 13.90 ± 2.22 MPa, respectively, after 24-h aging, 15.98 ± 5.44 and 15.31 ± 4.22 MPa, respectively, after 5-month aging, and 14.72 ± 3.15 and 14.46 ± 4.66 MPa, respectively, after 3-week demineralisation following 5-month aging. After being aged for 5 months and demineralised for 3 weeks, samples bonded using Phase II Dual Cure had a higher DIAGNOdent value of 65.00 ± 14.66 compared to 49.77 ± 20.64 for samples bonded using experimental adhesive (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: NanoAg-ACP microparticles could be added into Phase II Dual Cure as fillers to resist demineralisation without impairing the shear bond strength. The results warrant further investigation of nanoAg-ACP microparticles as fillers for orthodontic adhesives using more clinically relevant in vitro models to confirm their potential clinical application in orthodontic treatments.
期刊介绍:
Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research - Genes, Growth and Development is published to serve its readers as an international forum for the presentation and critical discussion of issues pertinent to the advancement of the specialty of orthodontics and the evidence-based knowledge of craniofacial growth and development. This forum is based on scientifically supported information, but also includes minority and conflicting opinions.
The objective of the journal is to facilitate effective communication between the research community and practicing clinicians. Original papers of high scientific quality that report the findings of clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and novel therapeutic or diagnostic approaches are appropriate submissions. Similarly, we welcome papers in genetics, developmental biology, syndromology, surgery, speech and hearing, and other biomedical disciplines related to clinical orthodontics and normal and abnormal craniofacial growth and development. In addition to original and basic research, the journal publishes concise reviews, case reports of substantial value, invited essays, letters, and announcements.
The journal is published quarterly. The review of submitted papers will be coordinated by the editor and members of the editorial board. It is policy to review manuscripts within 3 to 4 weeks of receipt and to publish within 3 to 6 months of acceptance.
