Conclusions : The application of a 2 % chlorhexidine solution after acid etching increased the microtensile bond strength significantly for follow-up times of 6 months or more .
The adhesive type had no influence
Background and Objectives : The aim of this systematic review was to examine the effect of 2 % chlorhexidine following acid etching on the microtensile bond strength of resin restorations for different follow-up times .
Effect of chlorhexidine on the durability of a new universal adhesive system
Background The effect of chlorhexidine on bond durability of universal adhesives is not clear . The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine on 6-month water storage bond strength of adhesive systems . Material and Methods 72 freshly sound human extracted molars were selected . In each tooth both buccal and lingual sides were prepared by bur to reach superficial dentin and r and omly divided into 6 groups and 12 sub-groups and bonded with Scotchbond Universal ( SBU ) or Scotchbond Multi- purpose ( SBMP ) with/without chlorhexidine ( CHX ) usage . Group 1 : SBU , group2 : SBU+CHX , group3 : Etch+SBU , group4 : Etch+CHX+SBU , group5 : Etch+SBMP , group6 : Etch+CHX+SBMP . After composite curing , water storage and thermocycling was done . Each group was divided into two subgroups . One was tested immediately , and the other was thermocycled for 5000 cycles ( 5 - 55 ° C ) ( it was equivalent to 6 months of storage in distilled water ) . Shear bond strength test was done and failure modes were determined by Stereomicroscope . The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA , Tukey post-hoc test and Paired Two test with P<0.050 as the level of significance . Results Shear bond strength in late SBU ( Self etch ) was significantly lower than late SBU [ Etch and rinse ( ER ) ] , P value= 0.0001 , also shear bond strength in late SBU [ self-etch ( SE ) ] was significantly lower than immediate SBU ( SE ) , P value= 0.01 . There were no significant differences between other sub-groups and conditions . The most failure mode was adhesive in all the groups . Conclusions Long term bonding durability of SBU(ER ) was better than SBU ( SE ) . CHX usage had prevented bond strength decrease in SBU and SBMP in long term . CHX usage did not have any effect on immediate shear bond strength of SBU and SBMP . Immediate and late shear bond strength of SBMP with/without CHX usage was similar to SBU(SE , ER ) .
