Degradation-stage Effect of Self-etching Primer on Dentin Bond Durability
1 Department of Crown Bridge Prosthodontics, Nihon University School of Dentistry at Matsudo, 870-1 Sakaecho, Nishi 2, Matsudo, Chiba 271-8587, Japan; Correspondence: * aida.masahiro{at}nihon-u.ac.jp It is well-known that self-etching primers can be altered. However, the effects from altered primers on the dentin bond durability have yet to be thoroughly identified. In this study, we examined the effects from 5 altered Liquid A primers in different stages of degradation—where 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) and 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP), used in Liquid A primers, were altered by the hydrolysis of the methacryloxy ester portion in the HEMA and MDP—on the hybrid layers quality and dentin bond durability. The hypothesis was that degradation stages of altered Liquid A primers have no effect on the hybrid layers quality and on dentin bond durability. Bond strengths, obtained after thermo-cycling, were strongly dependent on the degradation stage of the altered Liquid A primer. Alterations of self-etching primers reduced dentin bond durability and decreased the created hybrid layers quality.
