Abstract
Purpose: This study evaluated the micro-tensile bond strength of new and previous composite resin restorations after surface treatment with diamond bur and Er,Cr:YSGG laser at different power settings (2,3 and 4 W). Materials and methods: Micro-hybride composite resin was inserted in metallic mold 5 ×5 ×15 mm and cured for 40 sec according to manufacturer's instruction.12 blocks were made. The bonded surfaces of the 12 blocks so obtained were subsequently ground using Silicon Carbide papers 1200 grit, for 15 seconds under running water. Then the samples randomly were divided into 4 groups: (G1) Bur-treated, (G2) Er,Cr:YSGG laser with power of 2 W and energy of 100 mJ, (G3) Er,Cr:YSGG laser with power of 3 W and energy of 150 mJ, (G4) Er,Cr:YSGG laser with power of 4 W and energy of 200 mJ. One sample of each group was analyzed by SEM while, after cutting the blocks to 1 mm2 of area samples, the others samples were mechanically tested by Universal testing machine with the speed of 0.5 mm per minute till fracture point. Data were analysed using One-Way ANOVA and Tukey Test. Results: T-test showed no significantly differences between G2 and G4(P=0.064) while G3 demonstrated significant differences than G2 (P=0.001) and G4(P=0.000) and also between samples treated with bur (G1) and G2 (P=0.242) ,G3 (P=0.000) ,G4 (P=0.829); G1 didn't significantly differ to G2 and G4(P>0.05), while G1 and G3(P<0.05). Conclusion: On surface treatment of repaired composite, samples treated by laser at 3W power showed better condition of micro-tensile bond strength.
