32 Week Microtensile Bond Strength of a Novel Adhesive System Containing 0.2% Chlorhexidine

Abstract

Composite resins are a tooth colored restorative material commonly utilized today as an alternative to metallic restorations when full coverage is not required. The creation of a perfect tooth colored restorative material is not a new goal. Composite was developed to replace silicate cements (Paffenbarger, et al., 1938) due to their shortcoming: a four to five year lifespan due to acid decay (Bowen, et al., 1968). Unlike amalgam, which relies on mechanical retention within the preparation, composites require an adhesive bond for retention. This bond is complex and varies according to the histologic features of the adhering surface. Bonding to dentin has been a particular challenge. Even products labeled dentin-bonding agents fail to produce a long lasting bond.
