[The effect of eugenol cement, CC, FC on the bonding strength of the adhesive resin to the tooth surface (author's transl)].

Bovine tooth surface pretreated with dental medicaments-Eugenol cement (ZOE), CC, FC was used to adhere to acrylic rod by adhesive resins-Clearfil F II and 4 META-MMA-TBB-O. The effects of the dental medicaments on the bonding strength of the adhesive resin were measured. The results were showed as follows: (1) Any pretreatment of the three medicaments reduced the bonding strength of Clearfil to both enamel and dentin surface. With 4-META-MMA-TBB-O resin system the bonding strength was reduced by ZOE and CC while it was increased by FC pretreatment. (2) On the enamel tooth surface premedicated with ZOE, FC or CC, the alcohol rinsing or mechanic grinding reduced the decrease of the bonding strength of Clearfil. With 4-META-MMA-TBB-O resin, the mechanic grinding of the premedicated enamel tooth surface increased the bonding strength. (3) On the premedicated dentin tooth surface, the mechanic grinding reduced the decrease of the bonding strength of 4-META-MMA-TBB-O. Alcohol rinsing, on the contrary, decreased the bonding strength. (4) On both fresh and premedicated dentin surface the bonding strength of Clearfil was lower than 3 MPa.
