AB  - Dental academic institutions are affected by COVID-19. We assessed the perceived COVID-19 preparedness of these institutions and the characteristics of institutions with greater perceived preparedness. An international cross-sectional survey of dental academics was conducted from March to August 2020 to assess academics’ and institutional attributes, perceived preparedness, and availability of infection prevention and control (IPC) equipment. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified perceived preparedness components. Multilevel linear regression analysis assessed the association between perceived preparedness and fixed effect factors (academics’ and institutions’ attributes) with countries as random effect variable. Of the 1820 dental academics from 28 countries, 78.4% worked in public institutions and 75.2% reported temporary closure. PCA showed five components: clinic apparel, measures before and after patient care, institutional policies, and availability of IPC equipment. Significantly less perceived preparedness was reported in lower-middle income (LMICs) (B = −1.31, p = 0.006) and upper-middle income (UMICs) (B = −0.98, p = 0.02) countries than in high-income countries (HICs), in teaching only (B = −0.55, p < 0.0001) and in research only (B = −1.22, p = 0.003) than teaching and research institutions and in institutions receiving ≤100 patients daily than those receiving >100 patients (B = −0.38, p < 0.0001). More perceived preparedness was reported by academics with administrative roles (B = 0.59, p < 0.0001). Academics from low-income countries (LICs) and LMICs reported less availability of clinic apparel, IPC equipment, measures before patient care, and institutional policies but more measures during patient care. There was greater perceived preparedness in HICs and institutions with greater involvement in teaching, research, and patient care.

AB  - Purpose: To evaluate the effect of different intermediate resin agents on composite-to-composite microtensile bond strength (mu TBS). Methods: Composite disks (8 x 4 mm) of Gradia Direct Anterior (N= 15) and Filtek Supreme XT (N=15), stored in a saline solution at 37 degrees C for I month, were sandblasted (Microetcher, 50 mu m-Al2O3), cleaned (35% H3PO4), and randomly divided into five groups (N=3) according to the intermediate agent applied. Two flowable composites (Gradia LoFlo; Filtek Supreme XT Flow) and two adhesives (Adper Scotchbond 1XT, Scotchbond Multi-Purpose) were used. As a control, no intermediate agent was applied., Each disk was incrementally repaired (W mm) with the same resin as the respective substrate. By serially cutting each repaired specimen, multiple sticks of about 0.8 mm(2) in cross-section were obtained and loaded in tension until failure at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/minute. Data were statistically analyzed. Failure mode was examined by stereo- and scanning electron-microscopy (SEM). Additional specimens were prepared to morphologically evaluate the composite-to-composite interfacial quality by SEM analysis. Results: Composite substrate and intermediate agent were significant factors (Two-way ANOVA, P lt  0.001). Bond strengths achieved with Gradia Direct Anterior were higher than Hick Supreme XT. The application of flowable composites resulted in statistically superior mu TBS than adhesives and control (Tukey test, P lt  0.001). Failure mode was predominantly cohesive (flowable composites), cohesive/adhesive (adhesives) and adhesive (no treatment). Flowable composites and adhesives showed a good interfacial quality.

AB  - Purpose: To evaluate the effect of different silane agents and air-drying temperatures on the repair strength of a microfilled hybrid composite. Materials and Methods: Composite cylinders (8 x 4 mm) of Gradia Direct Anterior (GC, N = 36), stored in a saline solution at 37 degrees C for 1 month, were sandblasted (50-mu m aluminium oxide), cleaned (35% phosphoric acid) and randomly divided into six groups (n = 6). Two prehydrolyzed silane primers (Monobond-S, lvoclar-Vivadent, Porcelain Primer, Bisco), a non prehydrolyzed silane primer (Porcelain Liner M, Sun Medical) and three silane/adhesive coupling agents (Porcelain Bond Activator-PBA/Clearfil New Bond, PBA/Clearfil SE Bond, PBA/Clearfil Tri-S Bond, Kuraray) were investigated. Siiane-coated surfaces were air dried at two different temperatures (23 degrees C and 38 degrees C) and repairs (8 x 8 mm) were fabricated (Gradia Direct Anterior). Unrepaired composite cylinders (8 x 8 mm, n = 6) were used as control to evaluate the cohesive strength of the material. Microtensile bond strength measurements (mu TBS) were performed. Results: The silane agent applied (p  lt  0.001), the airdrying temperature (p  lt  0.001) and their interaction (p  lt  0.001) were significant factors (two-way ANOVA, Tukey test; p  lt  0.05). Silane primers achieved inferior mu TBS when air dried at 23 degrees C as compared to silane/adhesive blends. Warm air-drying was significantly beneficial to composite repairs mediated by silane primers. Comparable results were achieved by silane/adhesive couplings at 23 degrees C and 38 degrees C. At 38 degrees C all the intermediate agents resulted in repair mu TBS that were comparable to the 24-h cohesive strength of the composite (one-way ANOVA, Dunnett t-tests; p  lt  0.05). Conclusion: The chemical interactions between silane primers and compozite substrate may be optimized through warm airdrying. Silane/adhesive couplings were not influenced by the air drying temperature.

AB  - The hydrolytic stability of composite repairs is a desirable property. In the present study, the composite repair microtensile bond strength, failure mode distribution, and nanoleakage occurrence before and after thermocycling were evaluated. Standardized, 1-month-old composite substrates were roughened, cleaned, and randomly assigned to seven groups according to the intermediate agent applied. Resin-based, silane-based, and combined silane/adhesive coupling agents were investigated. The same resin composite as the substrate was used for repair. For each group, repaired samples were wet stored for 24 h (37 degrees C) or thermocycled (5,000 cycles, 5-55 degrees C). Failure mode and silver nitrate penetration were examined by stereomicroscopy. Intermediate agent, experimental condition, and their interaction were significant factors. Hydrophobic flowable composites resulted in statistically higher repair strengths, lower occurrence of adhesive failures, and good quality interfacial coupling without any silver uptake in both conditions. Light-curing, hydrophilic resin monomer-based intermediate agents, although not affected by thermocycling, showed a more pronounced silver penetration. The composite repair strength of a self-curing silane/adhesive agent was significantly affected by thermal stresses, despite the absence of silver uptake. A prehydrolized silane agent recorded the lowest repair strength, with minimal or no evidence of interfacial silver impregnation after thermocycling. In conclusion, flowability and hydrophobic nature can be considered important properties when selecting intermediate agents for composite repair.

AB  - This study examined the influence of different surface conditioning methods on composite-to-composite microtensile bond strength. Thirty two-year old composite resin discs were randomly divided into three groups according to the different mechanical/chemical surface pretreatment tested: (1) 38% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) -treatment; (2) 50-mu m aluminum oxide sandblasting; (3) no treatment. Depending on the intermediate agent applied, two subgroups were created: (A) three-step adhesive system; (B) prehydrolyzed silane coupling agent + three-step adhesive system. Microtensile bond strength measurements were performed and the data were statistically analyzed with Kruskall-Wallis Analysis of Variance and Dunn's multiple range test for post hoc comparisons (p  lt  0.05). Failure mode was evaluated with a scanning electron microscope. Changes in composite surface topography after H2O2 treatment were also investigated. Composite repair strength did not benefit from H2O2 treatment and adhesive application. Preliminary sandblasting significantly improved interfacial bond strength regardless of the intermediate agent applied. No changes in surface texture were produced after H2O2 treatment. An atypical fracture pattern was detected at the interfacial level between H2O2-treated composite surfaces and the overlying adhesive and composite. H2O2 treatment affected the composite-to-composite repair strength: a compromised resin polymerization may occur, resulting in a poor interfacial quality and a weak bond. Sandblasting still remains a reliable technique for composite repair.

Microtensile bond strength measurements were performed and the data were statistically analyzed with Kruskall-Wallis Analysis of Variance and Dunn's multiple range test for post hoc comparisons (p  lt  0.05). Failure mode was evaluated with a scanning electron microscope. Changes in composite surface topography after H2O2 treatment were also investigated. Composite repair strength did not benefit from H2O2 treatment and adhesive application. Preliminary sandblasting significantly improved interfacial bond strength regardless of the intermediate agent applied. No changes in surface texture were produced after H2O2 treatment. An atypical fracture pattern was detected at the interfacial level between H2O2-treated composite surfaces and the overlying adhesive and composite. H2O2 treatment affected the composite-to-composite repair strength: a compromised resin polymerization may occur, resulting in a poor interfacial quality and a weak bond. Sandblasting still remains a reliable technique for composite repair.",

AB  - This study investigated the composite-to-composite microtensile bond strength and interfacial quality after using different combinations of intermediate agents and pre-curing temperatures of repairing resin. Forty-five composite discs (8x4mm) of Gradia Direct Anterior (GC Corp), stored in a saline solution at 37 degrees C for one month, were sandblasted (50 pm aluminum oxide), cleaned (35% phosphoric acid) and randomly divided into three groups (n=15) according to the intermediate agent applied: 1) no treatment; 2) unfilled resin (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Adhesive, 3M ESPE); 3) flowable composite (Gradia LoFlo, GC Corp). Each disc was incrementally repaired (8x8 mm) with the same resin as the substrate. For each group, three subgroups (n=5) were created, depending on the pre-curing temperature of the repairing resin-4 degrees C, 23 degrees C or 37 degrees C. Two bonded specimens per group were prepared to evaluate the composite-to-composite interfacial quality via scanning electron microscope. Microtensile bond strength measurements were performed with the remaining three specimens and failure mode was examined by stereomicroscopy. Two-way ANOVA revealed that temperature (p  lt  0.001), intermediate agent (p  lt  0.001) and the interaction (p=0.002) significantly affected the repair strength. Post-hoc comparisons revealed that bond strengths were significantly lower using a 4 degrees C repairing resin in groups where intermediate agents were used. The highest bond strengths were recorded when flowable composite was used as an intermediate agent under each of the three temperature conditions. Interfacial quality improved by raising the resin temperature from 4 degrees C to 37 degrees C.
