Dentine bonding is affected by humidity. Without a rubber dam, the intraoral environment mimics high-humidity climates, potentially impacting dental adhesion results.

Area of Science:

  • Dental materials science
  • Biomaterials engineering

Background:

  • Dentine adhesion is crucial for dental restorations.
  • Environmental factors like humidity and temperature significantly influence dentine bonding.
  • The precise impact of intraoral humidity on bonding is not well-understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of relative air humidity and temperature on dentine bonding.
  • To assess how factors like rubber dam use, breathing, and tooth drying affect the intraoral environment.

Main Methods:

  • Six experiments were conducted to evaluate environmental variables.
  • Investigated were: rubber dam application, high/low relative humidity, nose/mouth breathing, and tooth drying.
  • Temperature and relative air humidity were measured under various conditions.

Main Results:

  • Without a rubber dam, no significant temperature differences were found between breathing and drying methods (mean 27.7°C ± 1.5°C).
  • Relative air humidity in the dental surgery showed a statistically significant difference.
  • With a rubber dam, intraoral humidity and temperature closely matched dental surgery conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The intraoral environment without a rubber dam is comparable to high-humidity climates.
  • This finding has implications for the predictability and success of dentine bonding procedures.
  • Controlling intraoral humidity is essential for optimizing dental adhesion outcomes.
