Mdp-Based Universal Adhesive System Irradiated With Er,Cr:Ysgg: Analysis Of Its Performance Up To 6 Months

This study aimed to analyze the interaction of a MDP-based universal dentin bonding system (DBS) with Er, Cr: YSGG laser irradiation, measuring the microtensile bond strength to dentin over a six-month period. The experimental design involved three factors: DBS (Adper Scotchbond Universal; Clearfil SE Bond, Adper Scotchbond Multipurpose and Adper Single Bond 2), laser (Control and Er, Cr: YSGG), and time (initial- 7 days and 6 months). Eighty dentin samples from molars were prepared (n=10) with laser irradiation after primer and DBS application. After 7 days, were subjected to micro tensile bond strength test. The data were analyzed by three-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (p<0.05). Both DBS and laser significantly affected the bonding performance and their interaction was statistically significant (p=0.0194). The self-etching mode of the MDP-based universal DBS maintained the bond strength on dentin irradiated with ER, Cr: YSGG after 6 months, while bonding with all other DBS deteriorated.
