Research Abstract |
I studied the effect of chlorhexidine incorporation into experimental dentin adhesives with different hydrophilicities on the chlorhexidine release and the microtensile bond strength to dentin after 24 h and 14 months after specimen preparation. The more chlorhexidine released the more hydrophilic resin co-monomers. Significant reduction in bond strength was observed in all adhesive groups, except for chlorhexidine-containing most hydrophobic adhesive. Also, MMA-based resin was used to measure chlorhexidine-release from resin cement by means of HPLC, and antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis. The 3.0 and 4.0% chlorhexidine-incorporated cement exhibited chlorhexidine release for 5 weeks; however, more than 98% of chlorhexidine was retained in resin matrix. The 3.0 and 4.0% chlorhexidine-incorporated resin cement possessed prolonged chlorhexidine release and antibacterial properties for 2 weeks.
