Effects of Oxalate Desensitizer with Different Resin Cement‐Retained Indirect Composite Inlays on Fracture Resistance of Teeth. Issue 4 (20th December 2012) - Shafiei, Fereshteh
Abstract Purpose This study investigated whether the tubular occluding effect of oxalate desensitizer (OX) during adhesive cementation (three resin cements) influenced fracture resistance of teeth restored with adhesive inlays. Materials and Methods Ninety intact maxillary premolars were randomly divided into 9 groups of 10 each. The two control groups were Gr 1, intact teeth and Gr 2, mesio‐occlusodistal preparation only. In six experimental groups, the composite inlays were cemented with ED Primer II/Panavia F 2.0, Excite DSC/Variolink II, and One‐Step Plus/Duolink according to manufacturers' instructions (Groups 3, 5, and 7, respectively) or with OX during cementation (Groups 4, 6, and 8, respectively). In Group 9, inlays were cemented with a resin cement without adhesive system. After thermocycling, fracture strength was tested. The data were analyzed using two‐way and one‐way ANOVA and LSD post hoc tests (α = 0.05). Results Fracture resistance of the six groups were significantly affected by OX (p = 0.002) but not by the resin cement type (p > 0.05). The interaction of the two factors was statistically significant (p = 0.052). A statistically significant difference between all groups was found (p < 0.001). The mean fracture resistances (N) were: Gr1 = 1168 ± 157, a Gr2 = 360 ± 110, d Gr3 = 1026 ± 188, b Gr4 = 887 ± 143, c Gr5 = 1007 ± 132, b Gr6 = 810 ± 164, c Gr7 = 1033 ± 218, a Gr8 = 955 ± 147, ab Gr9 = 780 ± 86c (groups with the same superscript letter indicate statistical similarity). Conclusions Combining an OX with three resin cements had a significant negative effect on the fracture resistance of premolars restored with composite inlay cemented with Panavia F2.0 and Variolink II, but it had no significant effect when cemented with Duolink.
