Abstract

Aim: Different remineralizing pretreatments Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF), tricalcium phosphate fluoride (TCP-F), self-assembling peptide (SAP) P11-4 and 10% Nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) gel activation via invisible infrared light on the dentin microhardness (MH) and micro shear bond strength (µSBS) of composite restoration.

Methods: Seventy-five human molar teeth were collected and the dentinal surface of all the samples was exposed to different demineralizing solutions. (n=15) Group 1 (demineralized dentin), Group 2 (CPP ACP), Group 3 (TCP-F), Group 4 (SAP P11-4), Group 5 (nHA gel activation via invisible infrared light). MH assessment was performed using Vickers hardness. Each group of 10 samples was subjected to composite restoration buildup and µSBS were tested. The debonded samples were then observed under a stereo-microscope for failure analysis. ANOVA was conducted, along with Tukey's post hoc analysis, to examine the µSBS of composite and MH of the remineralized surface.

Results: nHA gel activation via invisible infrared light pretreated specimens showed the maximum outcomes of surface hardness (331.2 ± 77.3) and bond strength (10.38 ± 2.77). However, Group 4 (SAP P11-4) (148.3 ± 29.2) remineralized dentin displayed minimum scores of MH and µSBS (5.88 ± 1.01).

Conclusion: Remineralizing pretreatment nHA gel activation via invisible infrared light and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride seem to improve the dentin MH and µSBS of the composite restoration.
