Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to assess the effect of enamel deproteinization with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) before phosphoric acid (H3PO4) etching on the shear bond strength ofAdperTM Single Bond 2 adhesive and Filtek Z-350 XT composite resin. STUDY DESIGN: Forty human sound permanent molars which were extracted for periodontal reasons were used in the experimental protocol as under: Group-A (20 teeth):-A 5X4 mm window of the enamel surface was etched with 37% H3PO4 gel for 15 seconds, washed with distilled water and air dried. A single coat of Adper Single Bond 2 adhesive was applied and photo polymerized for 20 seconds and Filtek Z-350 XT composite resin block of length 5 mm, width 4 mm and height 5mm respectively was built and photo polymerized in increments for 20 seconds each. Group-B (20 teeth):--Similarly the enamel surface was treated with 5.25% NaOCl for 60 seconds, washed with distilled water and then etched with 37% H3PO4 gel for 15 seconds, washed with distilled water and air dried. A single coat of Adper Single Bond 2 adhesive was applied and photo polymerized for 20 seconds and Filtek Z-350 XT composite resin block of length 5 mm, width 4 mm and height 5 mm respectively was built and photo polymerized in increments for 20 seconds each. The shear bond strength of all the samples were measured (in MPa) on Instron Mechanical Testing Machine. RESULTS: The mean shear bond strength value for Group-A was 13.51 +/- 5.726 MPa and for Group-B being 15.06 +/- 6.220 MPa. No statistically significant difference in the shear bond strengths was observed between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: No significant effect of sodium hypochlorite enamel deproteinization on the shear bond strength of Adper Single Bond 2 adhesive and Filtek Z-350 XT composite resin before acid etching was observed in this study.
