The microtensile bond strengths (MTBS) were tested and fracture modes were analyzed by stereomicroscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Eight additional dentine disks were prepared to evaluate tubule occlusion prior to bonding using FESEM. Results: The application sequence of calcium-containing desensitising pastes did not significantly affect MTBS irrespective of two-step SB (P > 0.05) or three-step SBMP E&R adhesives (P > 0.05). Effective dentinal tubule occlusion was observed in the mode of etching-desensitising. Conclusions: Applying calcium-containing desensitisers (particularly Arg-CaCO3- and Novamin-based) after etching during E&R adhesive restoration could achieve effective tubule occlusion without affecting the bonding strength. # 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Dentine becomes exposed because of wear, attrition, trauma, caries, non-caries cervical lesions or cavity preparation.1,2 When exposed, dentine contacts an external stimulus, such as chemical, thermal, evaporative, tactile or osmotic stimulus, causing a transient, sharp pain or dentine hypersensitivity, which has become a common complaint of adults.3,4 According to ‘‘hydrodynamic theory’’5 and Poiseuille–Hagen equation, the occlusion of dentinal tubules should be effective to reduce dentine permeability and thus manage dentine hypersensitivity.6 Among various tubule-occluding products, several new calcium-containing desensitising pastes have been introduced because these materials can simulate natural desensitising processes.7,8 Arginine-calcium carbonate (Arg-CaCO3)containing desensitising paste can be used to seal exposed dentinal tubules effectively and provide reliable relief for hypersensitivity.7,9 Arginine and calcium carbonate from ArgCaCO3-containing paste can work together to accelerate natural occlusion mechanisms by depositing dentine-like minerals in dentinal tubules and by forming a protective layer on dentine surfaces.10 Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) complex, a milk protein derivative, can also remineralise dentine by buffering free calcium and phosphate ion activities.11–13 According to the manufacturer, CPP-ACP incorporated in commercially available paste can reduce tooth sensitivity by occluding dentinal tubules with remineralised dentine. Calcium-sodium phosphosilicate (Novamin) is a bioactive glass originally developed in advanced bone regeneration material.14 Novamin-containing desensitising paste can deposit hydroxycarbonate apatite and reduce sensitivity by releasing billions of calcium phosphate ions that would be available to the natural remineralisation in the mouth.15–17 In clinical practice, tooth sensitivity is observed as a result of mechanical tooth preparation during adhesive restoration. New calcium-containing desensitising pastes should be used before bonding to occlude dentinal tubules, thereby managing immediate sensitivity and preventing post-operative sensitivity during and after adhesive restoration.18–20 Etch-and-rinse (E&R) adhesive is by far a classic and reliable adhesive system preferred over self-etching adhesives; E&R adhesive is more suitable in handling complicated dentine surfaces than selfetching adhesives.21,22 Therefore, studies have focused on the compatibility of calcium-containing desensitising pastes used with E&R adhesive systems.23–28 The desired effect is to block dentinal tubules tightly and impede the occurrence of dentine hypersensitivity, including pulpitis and other adverse consequences, without affecting the final bond strength, which is a major problem in clinical applications. Researchers usually opt to apply calcium-containing desensitising paste after preparing the teeth and before etching of E&R adhesive.23–25 Because according to conventional thinking, the sequential application of etchant (primer or not) and bonding agent are taken for granted as an inextricable whole of bonding procedure for E&R adhesive system and this approach can minimise the negative effect of desensitisation on bonding strength at the highest extent.24 However, it is worth noting that this strategy (desensitising-etching) may not remove the smear
Introduction
layer produced by tooth preparation; such a layer is usually composed of small particles of mineralised collagen matrix, inorganic debris, blood, saliva and numerous microorganisms.29 These impurities spread over dentine surfaces or within dentinal tubules; this condition possibly induces pulp inflammation or infection and impedes the infiltration of desensitising paste. Another disadvantage of this application sequence involves the second step of 35% phosphoric acid after desensitisation; may dissolve and remove previous precipitated carbonate crystals on dentine surfaces and reopen the occluded dentinal tubules, resulting in an outward flow of tubule fluid. As such, desensitisation may fail to control and prevent postoperative sensitivity.30 What will happen if the application sequence of desensitising and etching is reversed? We speculated that, in this new strategy (etching-desensitising), the first step of etching involves the removal of the smear layer; therefore, the occurrence of bacterial infection and pulp disease is likely decreased. In the second step, calcium-containing desensitising pastes are applied; pastes can adequately penetrate and occlude open dentinal tubules, thereby impeding the outward flow of tubule fluid and therefore managing dentine hypersensitivity and preventing the occurrence of post-operative sensitivity. However, the speculation remains unconfirmed. Furthermore, in these two different application sequences (desensitising-etching or etching-desensitising) of calciumcontaining pastes, the smear layer is either retained or removed; different treatment then inevitably changes the property of dentine surfaces and possibly provides a different bonding substrate, which may elicit different effects on E&R bonding performance.31,32 Nevertheless, few studies have been conducted to compare their bonding strengths. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate the effects of different application sequences of calcium-containing desensitising pastes (Arg-CaCO3-, CPP-ACP- or Novamin-based paste) on bonding effectiveness and tubule occlusion during E&R adhesive restoration. The following hypotheses were tested: (1) the application sequence (desensitising-etching or etchingdesensitising) of calcium-containing desensitising pastes has no significant influence on the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of E&R adhesive systems and (2) the tubule-occluding effects are not different under these two application sequences.

Seventy teeth were sectioned parallel to the occlusal surface to expose the mid-coronal dentine by using a low-speed watercooled diamond saw (Isomet; Buehler, Evanston, IL, USA). The exposed dentine surfaces were ground using 600-grit silicon carbide paper under running water for 60 s to create a standardised smear layer. The prepared teeth were randomly divided into seven groups (n = 10 per group) as follows:
139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151
Group 1 (control group): Specimens were not pretreated with any desensitising paste but simply etched with 35% phosphoric acid for 15 s. Groups 2–4 (desensitising-etching groups): Specimens were initially pretreated with Arg-CaCO3-, CPP-ACP- or Novamin-containing desensitising paste, respectively, according to the manufacturers’ instructions and subsequently etched with 35% phosphoric acid for 15 s. Groups 5–7 (Etching-desensitising groups): Specimens were etched with 35% phosphoric acid for 15 s and then treated with Arg-CaCO3-, CPP-ACP- or Novamin-containing desensitising paste, respectively, according to the manufacturers’ instructions.
After these procedures were conducted, the specimens were rinsed thoroughly with water. The specimens in each group were randomly divided into two subgroups (n = 5 per subgroup) to evaluate the effects of different E&R adhesive systems. The bonding agent of a two-step E&R adhesive Adper SingleBond 2 (SB) or the primer and bonding agent of a three-step E&R adhesive Adper ScotchBond Multi-Purpose (SBMP) were applied to dentine surfaces respectively according to the manufacturers’ instructions; these substances were then polymerised using an LED light-curing unit (Bisco Inc., Schaumburg, IL, USA). Afterward, a resin composite (Charisma, Heraeus Kulzer, Hanau, Germany) was formed at the interface in four increments (3–4 mm thick) and each increment was cured for 20 s.

A slit was produced along the pulpal side of each dentine disc by using a low-speed water-cooled diamond to facilitate the fracture of the disks in two halves.34 One half was used for top surface observation and the other half was used for longitudinal surface observation. The specimens were rinsed, dehydrated, and sputtercoated with Au-Pd alloy. The tubule-occluding effects of each group were observed using FESEM (Zeiss, Sigma, Germany).

The data obtained in the fracture pattern were analysed by frequency distribution (Fig. 3). The predominant failure mode of all debonded specimens was adhesive failure (50.4%), particularly in the control group (65.0%). Cohesive failure in dentine was common in desensitising-etching groups (Groups 2–4). Cohesive failures in composite increased in etchingdesensitising groups (Groups 5–7). By comparison, a few mixed failures (11.4%) were also observed. In the representative images of FESEM (Fig. 4), some specimens were fractured at the

The results of the MTBS test showed that the application sequence (desensitising-etching or etching-desensitising) of calcium-containing pastes did not significantly affect MTBS during E&R adhesive restoration. When any of the three calcium-containing pastes was applied on etched dentine surface, dentinal tubules were mostly occluded with large particles, small particles slightly deposited on intertubular dentine and a protective layer was formed. However, the majority of dentinal tubules were reopened when the desensitising paste-treated dentine surface was etched. Therefore, the first hypothesis was accepted and the second one was rejected. The Arg-CaCO3-containing paste is a new desensitising product used mainly to prevent dentine hypersensitivity. During desensitisation, positively charged arginine is attracted to the negatively charged dentine surface; as such, CaCO3 becomes attracted and adheres to fibre networks on dentine surface and deeply infiltrate into dentinal tubules. The Arg-CaCO3 agglomerate creates an alkaline environment, where calcium and phosphate ions can precipitate, and further blocks dentinal tubules.10,35 The desensitisation of Arg-CaCO3-containing paste is similar to the natural desensitisation of saliva; for this reason, this procedure is commonly performed.36 The in vitro results of the present study indicated an effective occlusion performance. Considering the FESEM images (Fig. 5G and H), we found that dentinal tubules were effectively plugged and sealed after the paste was applied on etched dentine surfaces (etching-desensitising); a slight intertubular deposition of small particles was also observed. A calcium-containing layer might be formed to protect dentine surfaces and orifices of dentinal tubules. Calcium and phosphate are essential components of dentine in the form of highly insoluble complex (hydroxyapatite); in the presence of CPP, these minerals remain soluble and biologically available on dentine surfaces.37 The CPP-ACP-containing paste can also reduce dentine hypersensitivity successfully.18 The possible mechanism by which CPP-ACP seals the exposed dentinal tubules may involve remineralisation.38 Under acidic

conditions, CPP-ACP can extract calcium phosphate; CPP-ACP can also increase and maintain high concentrations of calcium and phosphate ions on dentine surfaces, thereby impeding mineralisation and promoting demineralisation.11–13 In the current study, some dentinal tubules were occluded superficially; a thin, membrane-like coating was formed on etched dentine surface (Fig. 5K and L) (etching-desensitising). The presence of several patented tubules may be attributed to the short application time. The current study suggested that the recommended application time (3 min) of the manufacturer was short to induce sufficient remineralisation of CPP-ACP by forming substances that occlude dentinal tubules. The bioglass particles in Novamin-containing paste can deposited on dentine surfaces and form hydroxyapatite crystals with excellent biological activities and chemically similar structures to minerals found in dentine.39 In desensitisation, Na+ in Novamin immediately exchanges with H+ or H3O+ when the paste is exposed to an aqueous environment. At the same time, Ca2+ and PO43 in Novamin are released continuously.16 PH increases as a result of Na+ release, thereby inducing Ca2+ and PO43 from Novamin, along with the original hydroxyapatite crystals, to precipitate on dentine surfaces and form microcombination, thereby physically occluding dentinal tubules.16 As a result, dentine hypersensitivity is relieved. This condition could probably explain why Novamin-containing paste applied on etched dentine (etching-desensitising) can form a homogeneous layer covering the dentine surface with crystal-like deposits and tight combination with tubular walls (Fig. 5O and P). In the proposed application sequence (etching-desensitising), the calcium-containing paste-treated dentine provided different dentine topographies; the bonding strengths at adhesive –dentine interfaces should also vary at different degrees. However, the MTBS test in the present study indicated that the application of any of these three calcium-containing pastes on etched dentine did not significantly affect MTBS. This result possibly occurred because the proposed approach provides the same level of advantages and disadvantages for bonding. The possible reasons are manifold. For instance, one of the disadvantages of this strategy in bonding is the collagenous structures that were subjected to mechanical trauma during the polishing stage; another disadvantage includes that the formation of resin tags might be compromised by tubules occlusion with calcium-containing desensitising pastes, resulting in a certain damage to the mechanical lock of E&R adhesive restoration.18 By contrast, the advantages of this application sequence were evident. For instance, the smear layer formed during grinding was removed in the first step of etching; dentinal tubules were opened completely and some endogenous minerals within collagen networks were dissolved; as a result, calcium-containing desensitising pastes could penetrate dentinal tubules with great ease. We speculated that Arg-CaCO3, CPP-ACP or Novamin dissolved in residual water could reduce the liquid/vapour surface tension and increase the wettability of dentine surfaces, thereby creating a high energy surface and forming low contact angles, which are usually in favour of mechanical lock and adhesion.40 Furthermore, collapsed collagen fibres (during polishing process) might be rehydrated and re-expanded by HEMA

hydrophilic monomer present in E&R adhesives because HEMA could decrease water vapour pressure and prevent evaporation.41 Another important factor is that the calciumcontaining layer formed by the calcium phosphate deposition at the bottom of exposed dentine collagen might fill the weak areas of the hybrid layer formed at a later stage.26 These factors contributed to the balance between advantages and disadvantages; hence, MTBS in etching-desensitising groups was not different from that of the control group. Researchers usually apply desensitisers before etching during E&R adhesive restoration. The present study showed that this traditional application sequence (desensitisingetching) did not affect MTBS either. However, effective tubule occlusion was not observed and the majority of dentinal tubules were reopened (Fig. 5E, I and M) under this situation. This result could be mainly attributed to 35% phosphoric acid. The combination of Arg-CaCO3, CPP-ACP or Novamin deposits and retained smear layer might be unstable. The acid resistance of calcium-containing desensitising pastes might also be limited.30,42 Therefore, phosphoric acid likely dissolves loose calcium and phosphate deposits in dentinal tubules until it encounters mineralised dentine matrix, thereby reopening the tubules. This result could be observed in the tubuleoccluding FESEM images in the present study. The reopened dentinal tubules could not limit dentinal fluid transudation and manage sensitivity during and after bonding.3 As a result, previous desensitising efforts were unsuccessful. Therefore, this traditional strategy could not effectively result in an acceptable tubule occlusion during E&R adhesive restoration compared with the new desensitising sequence of applying calcium-containing desensitising pastes after etching (etching-desensitising). Considering the E&R adhesive systems used in the current study, we found that the three-step SBMP adhesives demonstrated a better MTBS than the two-step SB adhesives. The result was mainly attributed to the separate application of primer and bonding agent of SBMP that could induce the complete hybridisation of treated dentine surfaces especially complicated dentine surface.22 One advantage of MTBS test is that the percentage of adhesive failures exceeds that of cohesive failures. Hence, realistic bonding strength can be examined.43,44 However, more adhesive failures do not correspond to a more effective bonding,45 which has also been proven by the failure percentage obtained in the present study. In this study, adhesive failure was the main fracture type of all groups, particularly in the control group. Cohesive failure in dentine was more commonly observed in desensitising-etching groups (Groups 2–4); this result may echo the reasoning that the combination between desensitising paste and retained smear layer was unstable; as such, this area is considered as the weakest part of a hybrid layer. Cohesive failures in composite increased in etching-desensitising groups (Groups 5–7), indicating that the dentine substrate was protected by the integrity of the subjacent adhesive layer.23 This integrity may be attributed to calcium salt precipitate filling the gap at the bottom of the hybrid layer. The frequency distribution of failure modes supported the explanation of MTBS to some extent.

Conclusions
434
The application sequence (desensitising-etching or etchingdesensitising) of calcium-containing desensitising pastes (Arg-CaCO3-, CPP-ACP- or Novamin-based) did not affect the bonding effectiveness of E&R adhesive systems. The proposed method, in which calcium-containing pastes were applied after etching, could provide a new potential strategy to achieve effective tubule occlusion without affecting bonding effectiveness during E&R adhesive restoration in clinical practice.
