Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to formulate experimental dental adhesives with wollastonite and evaluate the physical, chemical, and bioactivity properties of the resins. METHODS: Wollastonite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray and laser diffraction analyses, and scanning electronic microscopy. An experimental adhesive resin was formulated, and wollastonite was used as filler at 0 (control group), 0.5, 1, or 2 wt.%. Radiopacity, degree of conversion (DC%), microhardness, softening in solvent, ultimate tensile strength (UTS), 24 h- and 1 year- microtensile bond strength (μTBS), mineral deposition, and color of the adhesives were evaluated. RESULTS: Wollastonite particles showed a needle-like shape, a mean diameter of 70 (± 30) μm, characteristic chemical peaks, and pure crystalline β-CaSiO3 phase. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) for radiopacity, softening in solvent, and color change. The group with 2 wt.% of wollastonite showed higher microhardness and UTS in comparison to the control group (p < 0.05). After one year, the control group showed reduced μTBS compared to the immediate value (p < 0.05). The groups with wollastonite presented stable μTBS after one year in comparison to the immediate μTBS (p > 0.05). Wollastonite induced mineral deposition on the adhesive surface over the time of storage in simulated body fluid. CONCLUSION: The addition of wollastonite improved the mechanical behavior of the adhesive without changing the analyzed chemical properties. The adhesives with this filler presented mineral deposition and acceptable clinical color. Moreover, dentin treated with wollastonite-doped adhesives showed higher bonding stability after one year of aging. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Wollastonite, a silicate-based material, provided bioactivity for the adhesives, which assists in producing therapeutic tooth-restoration interfaces. Moreover, the incorporation of this mineral improOfiller to improve the biological properties of adhesives and assist in dentin-restoration stability.
