Purpose:
To compare the bond strengths of young and old dentin using a single-bottle etch-and-rinse adhesive system with two acid-etching times (15 s and 30 s), and to examine the correlation between dentin hardness and bond strength.
Materials And Methods:
Twenty-four molars from 18- to 22- or 55- to 60-year-old patients were prepared to expose the occlusal dentin, cut into two equal parts, and assigned to four groups (G), varying the etching time (15 s and 30 s) and dentin age (young [Y]or old [O]): G15Y, G30Y, G15O and G30O. After etching, AdperSingleBond (3M ESPE) adhesive was applied and the tooth was built up with a composite (Filtek Z250). The specimens were prepared for the microtensile bond strength test (μTBS) at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min and the interfaces were observed under SEM. Also, the Knoop hardness (KHN) of young vs old dentin was measured.
Results:
The mean (± SD) μTBS (MPa) were: G15Y = 45.9 (± 10.7)a, G15O = 34.1 (± 9.4)b, G30Y = 48.6 (± 14.3)a and G30O = 47.7 (± 11.0)a. Two-way ANOVA showed no difference in μTBS between young and old dentin. Old dentin acid etched for 15 s (G15O) had a lower μTBS than when acid etched for 30 s (G30O). Dentin hardness was higher for old dentin (67.0 ± 4.8KHN) than young dentin (63.7 ± 2.9KHN) (p < 0.004). No correlation between μTBS and dentin hardness was observed. Resin tags were larger and more numerous for young dentin. The hybrid layer formed in intertubular old dentin (G15O) was very thin.
Conclusion:
Bonding to old dentin with 30 s of etching time resulted in higher bond strength and more homogeneous hybrid layer formation than dentin acid etched for 15 s.

In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
03:05Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...
