Influence of dfferent devices to shape cavity preparatíons - Handpiece high-speed, Er: YAG laser and air abrasion - on the bond strength of a adhesive system to dentin

Abstract

The aim of this study was evaluated, in vitro, the tensile bond strength to dentin of the Single Bond (3M) adhesive system applied over dentin surfaces treated with hith-speed handpiece, Er.YAG laser or air abrasion. Thity four enclosed molars extracted due to therapeutic indication had been used. The teeth was sectioned on the mesial-distal sense. The dental portions was included in a selfcured acrilic resin and so fourty five samples was randomly divided in three groups. The first group was treated with a diamond bur plus high-speed handpiece (Kavo) for five seconds under water cooling. On the laser group was used the Er:YAG KavoKey laser (Kavo) with enerv of 450 mJ/pulse and 2 Hz under water cooling. In the air abrasion group was used a Mach 5 (Kreativ) device with 27 mm alumina oxide particles powder. After the treatments was applicd the Single Bond (3M) and Z 100 resin composite. The tensile test was realized in a universal testing machine EMIC DL-2000 at cross-head speed of mm / minute. The average results was: high-speed handpiece (17,52 MPa), Er:YAG laser ( 16,65 MPa) and air abrasion ( 15,83). The results was submitted to statistical treatment by ANOVA and Tukey's test (p ) that showed the diffemcc between the tested groups was not significant.
