Resin Infiltration and Mass Changes

Resin-infiltrated specimens were weighed after demineralization of the dentin beams (M0), immediately following resin-infiltration (M1), and after specimens were kept in distilled water for 24 h (M2), 1 month, 3 and 6 months.
Dry mass (M0 and M1) was assessed after specimens were individually stored in a desiccator containing anhydrous calcium sulfate at 37 °C for 24 h. The specimens were, then, immersed in distilled water [28 (link)] for 24 h, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months in order to assess M2, M3, M4, M5, respectively. The excess water was wiped from the specimen surface using absorbent paper and then, they were immediately weighed [26 (link)] on an analytical balance (XP 504DR, Mettler Toledo Inc., Columbus, OH, USA).
The resin/dentin matrix ratio (R) was assessed using the formula [22 (link)]: R (%) = 100 – ((M0x100)/M1), where M0 is the dentin matrix mass- after demineralization and M1 is the dentin beam after the resin-infiltration. In addition, the percent mass change (Wmc %): was calculated according to the percentage mass gain of the adhesive resin beam or the resin-infiltrated dentin beam after immersion in 24 h of water storage using the formula [28 (link)]: Wmc (%) = (M2-M1)/M1

Adhesive Systems Weight Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One mL of each adhesive system was dispensed in a circular-plate and their initial mass was measured using an analytical balance (XP 504DR, Mettler Toledo Inc., Columbus, OH, USA). Each circular plate with the adhesive system was repeatedly weighed after 15, 30, 45 and 60 min until weight was stabilized. To keep traces of solvent in the adhesive, the time of volatilization was set at 30 min (based on pilot studies). The adhesive systems were kept in the dark for 30 min in an oven at 40 ± 1 °C or at room temperature (23 ± 1 °C). After time elaspsed, the adhesives were placed in polyvinyl siloxane molds (0.28 mm × 1.5 mm × 7.0 mm) and were immediately light-cured for 60 seconds on each side. Photo-activation was performed using a halogen-based unit (Optilux 501, Kerr Corp., Orange, CA, USA) with light intensity of 800 mW/cm2. Then, all adhesive resin beams (n=12 per group) with final dimensions 0.28 mm thickness × 1.5 mm width × 7.0 mm length were hand-polished with 600-grit silicon carbide paper with a silicone oil emulsion (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) [26 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
