Summary

Investigating dental adhesive performance, this study found that optimal interfacial fracture toughness (intK(1c)) depends on good resin infiltration and adequate adhesive layer thickness. Failures often occurred at the adhesive-hybrid layer interface.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Adhesion Science

Background:

  • Significant variations in interfacial fracture toughness (intK(1c)) exist among dental adhesives.
  • Understanding micromorphological differences is crucial for explaining these intK(1c) variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the micromorphology of fractured dental adhesive interfaces using SEM.
  • To correlate SEM findings with interfacial fracture toughness results for six different dentinal adhesives.

Main Methods:

  • Interfacial fracture toughness specimens were created using bovine dentin and resin composite with five single-bottle adhesives and one resin-modified glass ionomer.
  • Fractured specimens were sectioned, critical-point dried, and analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Main Results:

  • Most failures occurred at the adhesive-hybrid layer interface.
  • Adhesives with good resin infiltration and adequate intermediate layer thickness (e.g., Single Bond, One Step) exhibited higher intK(1c).
  • Thicker films from filled adhesives (e.g., Optibond Solo, Fuji Bond LC) provided a good dentin seal despite cohesive failures.

Conclusions:

  • The interface between the adhesive and hybrid layers is a common failure site.
  • A fracture-resistant interface requires good resin infiltration and an adequately thick intermediate adhesive layer.
  • Filled adhesives can offer a reliable dentin seal through cohesive failure.
