Noninvasive assessment of novel nanohybrid resin cement adaptation using cross-polarization optical coherence tomography.
Dental Materials 2024 Februrary 21
OBJECTIVES: Zein-coated magnesium oxide nanoparticles (zMgO NPs) can potentially improve cement adaptation to the tooth-restoration interface, which would aid in minimizing marginal leakage and secondary caries. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of incorporating zMgO NPs on the adaptation of self-adhesive resin cement using cross-polarization optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
METHODS: Resin inlays were fabricated to be cemented in Class-I cavities of extracted human molars. All specimens were randomly divided into five groups (n = 10), and the resin inlays were cemented using self-adhesive resin cement with various concentrations of zMgO NPs (0% [control], 0.3%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%). Characterization was done by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and SEM. The specimens were examined for interfacial adaptation under CP-OCT. Floor and wall adaptation measurements were analyzed by software on 20 B-scans, and samples were sectioned for interfacial measurement by SEM.
RESULTS: Results for CP-OCT and SEM showed a statistically significant increase of adaptation in the floor and wall of resin cement filled with zMgO NPs compared to the control. The samples enhanced with 0.3% and 0.5% showed a statistically significantly better adaptation in floor and wall in CP-OCT and SEM. However, there was no significant difference between the 1%, 2%, and control groups for CP-OCT and SEM analysis.
SIGNIFICANCE: The incorporation of zMgO NPs in self-adhesive resin cement can enhance the cement's properties by significantly improving its wall and floor adaptation.
