Dentin adhesives application deviations: Effects on permeability and nanoleakage.
2021
The purpose was to evaluate the effect that deviations from the recommended protocol of a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system has on permeability and nanoleakage. One hundred and twenty dentin disks were treated with a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system, according to the manufacturer's instructions, or using five simulated deviations from the recommended protocol: applying potassium oxalate, reducing the application time of the adhesive, avoiding adhesive drying, aggressively drying the adhesive, and double application of adhesive. Kruskal-Wallis and Tukey's post hoc comparisons were used to evaluate the permeability reduction (α=0.05). Twelve additional dentin disks were prepared for transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis of nanoleakage. Aggressive drying, adding additional layers of adhesive or using oxalate reduced dentin permeability and yielded a better infiltration of the hybrid layer, whereas reducing the application time or less drying the adhesive did not to reduce dentin permeability, caused extensive nanoleakage, showing immediate compromised dentin sealing.
