The Materials Map is an open tool for improving networking and interdisciplinary exchange within materials research. It enables cross-database search for cooperation and network partners and discovering of the research landscape.

The dashboard provides detailed information about the selected scientist, e.g. publications. The dashboard can be filtered and shows the relationship to co-authors in different diagrams. In addition, a link is provided to find contact information.

Materials Map under construction

The Materials Map is still under development. In its current state, it is only based on one single data source and, thus, incomplete and contains duplicates. We are working on incorporating new open data sources like ORCID to improve the quality and the timeliness of our data. We will update Materials Map as soon as possible and kindly ask for your patience.

Abstract

<p>Objectives: The aim of this study was to perform an experimental evaluation of the synergistic effects of laser-texturing and different traditional surface modification approaches to improve the adhesion of glass fiber-reinforced composite (GFRC) posts to resin-matrix cements used in endodontically treated teeth rehabilitation. Methods: One hundred and ten freshly extracted mandibular single-rooted premolars were endodontically treated and groups of specimens were divided according to the GFRC cementation after different surface treatment, as follow (n = 10): silane-based conditioning (SIL); 9.7 % HF acid-etching (HF); 35 % H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> etching (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>); grit-blasting (GB); HF plus H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> etching (HFH<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>); 6 W Nd:YAG laser-texturing (L6W); 4.5 W Nd:YAG laser-texturing (L4.5W); 3 W Nd:YAG laser-texturing (L3W); 3 W Nd:YAG plus 35 % H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (L3WH<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>); 3 W Nd:YAG plus SIL (L3WSIL); and untreated (C). GFRC posts were cemented into the tooth root canals using a dual-cured resin cement. Then, specimens were cross-sectioned and mechanically assessed by push-out bond strength tests. Specimens were inspected by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at magnification from × 30 up to × 2000. The failure mode was recorded by microscopic analyses after the bond strenght tests. Results: Surface analyses of the GFRC posts showed a rough and retentive morphological aspect with a removal of the outer epoxy matrix layer and exposure of glass fibers after laser-texturing, grit-blasting, or etching under 35 % H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. The highest bond strength values at 21.8 MPa was recorded for GFRC posts after laser-texturing on 3W plus silane-based conditioning followed by the group etched with 35 % H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (20.5 MPa). The failure mode was microscopically characterized as cohesive and mixed pathways. The lowest bond strength values around 5 and 9 MPa and adhesive failure were recorded for the untreated GFRC group or specimens etched with HF. Conclusions: The combination of acidic etching and silane conditioning with laser-texturing at moderate intensity promoted an adequate surface modification of GFRC posts and increased adhesion to a resin-matrix cement. Such combination of physicochemical approaches can enhance the long-term mechanical behavior of the restorative interface at endodontically treated teeth. Clinical relevance: Combining traditional and novel physicochemical approaches can provide promising adhesion pathways for glass fiber-reinforced composite posts to resin-matrix cements. A high mechanical interlocking of the resin-matrix cements and the stable retention of the teeth root intracanal posts can decrease the risks of clinical failures by fracture and detachment of the intraradicular interface.</p>
