Biological response to self-etch adhesive after partial caries removal in rats

Abstract

Objectives

The purposes of this study were to evaluate a model of slow caries progression and to investigate the performance of a self-etch adhesive system for partial caries removal.

Materials and methods

Rat molars were infected with Streptococcus sobrinus 6715 culture. Different time points were analyzed: days 78, 85, and 95 (± 2). After this, the samples were processed for morphological analysis. Additionally, the first molars were restored with zinc oxide and eugenol (IRM™; Dentsply; Brazil) or adhesive system (Clearfil SE Bond™; Kuraray Medical; Japan) 78 days after caries induction. After, 3 or 15 days post-treatment, the animals were euthanized, and their mandibles were processed for morphological analysis, classified by means of scores, and submitted to statistical analysis. Subsequently, immunohistochemical analysis was performed for osteonectin (OSN) and transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1) expression.

Results

According to the caries induction model used, on day 95 greater inflammatory infiltration (p < 0.001), and more extensive degradation of secondary/primary dentin were demonstrated than on day 78 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the restorative materials presented similar performance (p > 0.05) and proved to be fundamental to control the carious lesion. The TGF-ß1 and OSN were shown to be active during the caries process.

Conclusions

The slow caries lesion model was feasible for morphological analysis of the dentin-pulp complex. The self-etch adhesive system triggered no acute inflammatory infiltration or pulp necrosis, instead it seemed to stimulate early pulp repair.

Clinical relevance

Clearfil SE Bond™ applied directly on caries-affected dentin did not predispose to pulp inflammation; instead, it appeared to provide early biological benefits.
