Abstract
En 中文
Objective To evaluate the effect of incorporating different concentrations of polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) into a universal adhesive on its antimicrobial activity, mechanical properties, and adhesion to sound dentin. Methods Five adhesive formulations containing PHMB at concentrations of 0% (control), 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% (wt %) were evaluated. Antimicrobial activity was assessed using the inhibition zone against S. mutans. Mechanical properties were evaluated through Vickers microhardness (VHN) and ultimate bond strength (UTS), measured both immediately and after 28 days of water storage at 37 degrees C. Bonding performance was assessed in resin-dentin bonded bars prepared using either an etch-and-rinse or self-etch strategy. Microtensile bond strength (mu TBS) and nanoleakage (NL) were evaluated immediately (IT) and after thermocycling (AT) (10.000 cycles; 5 degrees C/55 degrees C). Additionally, the degree of conversion (DC) at the adhesive interface was assessed using micro-Raman spectroscopy. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey's test (alpha = 0.05). Results PHMB-containing adhesives produced significantly larger inhibition zones against S. mutans compared with the control (p < 0.001). Higher PHMB concentrations (>= 0.5%) resulted in significantly reduced VHN, UTS and mu TBS values (p < 0.01). No significant differences in DC were observed between the control. 0.05, and 0.1% PHMB groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion The findings suggest that incorporating 0.05% PHMB into a universal adhesive can provide effective antimicrobial activity without compromising its mechanical properties or adhesion to sound dentin
