Our study assessed the influence of integrating 5% and 10% tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP-Ca(PO).) nanoparticles into a dental adhesive on the adhesive's bonding. To evaluate the filler nanoparticles, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and micro-Raman spectroscopy techniques were used. Shear Bond strength (SBS) testing, degree of conversion (DC) analysis, investigation of the adhesive-dentin interface, and biofilm experiments were conducted. The SEM micrographs revealed non-uniform agglomerates, while the EDX demonstrated the existence of oxygen 'O' (24.2%), phosphorus 'P' (17.4%) and calcium 'Ca' (60.1%) in the β-TCP nanoparticles. The FTIR and micro-Raman spectra indicated characteristic bands for β-TCP containing materials. The 10 wt.% β-TCP adhesive presented the highest SBS values (NTC-10 wt.% β-TCP: 33.55 ± 3.73 MPa, TC-10 wt.% β-TCP: 30.50 ± 3.25 MPa), followed by the 5 wt.% β-TCP adhesive (NTC-5 wt.% β-TCP: 32.37 ± 3.10 MPa, TC-5 wt.% β-TCP: 27.75 ± 3.15 MPa). Most of the detected failures after bond strength testing were adhesive in nature. The β-TCP adhesives demonstrated suitable dentin interaction by forming a hybrid layer (with few or no gaps) and resin tags. The β-TCP adhesives (10 wt.%) revealed lower DC values compared to control. The incorporation of 5 and 10 wt.% concentrations of β-TCP particles resulted in an increase in SBS values. A linear decline in DC values was witnessed when the nanoparticle concentration was increased. Further research focusing on exploring the influence of higher filler concentrations on adhesive's properties is recommended.
我们的研究评估了将5%和10%的磷酸三钙(β-TCP-Ca(PO).)纳米颗粒融入牙科粘合剂中对粘合剂粘结性能的影响。为了评估填充纳米颗粒,使用了扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量色散X射线(EDX)光谱、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱和显微拉曼光谱技术。进行了剪切粘结强度(SBS)测试、转化率(DC)分析、粘合剂与牙本质界面的研究以及生物膜实验。SEM显微照片显示存在不均匀的团聚物,而EDX表明β-TCP纳米颗粒中存在氧“O”(24.2%)、磷“P”(17.4%)和钙“Ca”(60.1%)。FTIR和显微拉曼光谱表明了含β-TCP材料的特征谱带。10 wt.%β-TCP粘合剂呈现出最高的SBS值(NTC-10 wt.%β-TCP:33.55±3.73 MPa,TC-10 wt.%β-TCP:30.50±3.25 MPa),其次是5 wt.%β-TCP粘合剂(NTC-5 wt.%β-TCP:32.37±3.10 MPa,TC-5 wt.%β-TCP:27.75±3.15 MPa)。粘结强度测试后检测到的大多数失效本质上是粘结性的。β-TCP粘合剂通过形成混合层(几乎没有间隙)和树脂突显示出合适的牙本质相互作用。与对照组相比,β-TCP粘合剂(10 wt.%)显示出较低的DC值。加入5 wt.%和10 wt.%浓度的β-TCP颗粒导致SBS值增加。当纳米颗粒浓度增加时,DC值呈线性下降。建议进一步开展研究,重点探索更高填充浓度对粘合剂性能的影响。
