ABSTRACTObjective: The purpose of this in vitro study was to explore the radiopacity of composite resins and bonding materials using film and phosphor plates.Methods: Nine composite dental resin specimens and human tooth slices were exposed together with an aluminium stepwedge using dental film and phosphor plates. Eight dentin bonding specimens were prepared and exposed in a similar manner. Their radiopacity on film was assessed using a transmission densitometer, and the radiopacity with phosphor plates was assessed digitally using the system’s own software (Digora). Data were analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc Tukey tests (P<.05). Film and phosphor plate radiopacity values were compared using simple regression analysisResults: Excellent linear correlation was found between film and phosphor plates for both composite resins and bonding agents. The composite materials Spectrum Tph and Natural Look exhibited the highest radiopacity with film and with phosphor plates, respectively. All the dentin bonding agents tested exhibited lower radiopacity than dentin. Conclusion: Synergy, Ice, Filtek Silorane, Filtek Z250, Clearfil Majesty Posterior, Herculite Classic, Spectrum Tph, and Natural Look composite materials exhibited greater radiopacity than dentin, and all the dentin bonding agents tested exhibited lower radiopacity than either enamel or dentin.

There is no consensus on the antibacterial activity of dentin bonding systems (DBS). Many study models have been used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of dental materials. In this study, a novel detection method, flow cytometry, was introduced. It allows for evaluation of the antibacterial activity of DBS, based on assessment of the disruption of the bacterial physical membrane induced by DBS. The aim of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of selected dentin bonding systems against Streptococcus mutans. The highest antibacterial activity against S. mutans was observed for Adhese Universal (99.68% dead cells) and was comparable to that of Prime&Bond Universal, OptiBond Universal, or Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (p > 0.05). The lowest activity of all tested systems was displayed by the multi-mode adhesive, Universal Bond (12.68% dead bacteria cells), followed by the self-etch adhesive, OptiBond FL (15.58% dead bacteria cells). The present study showed that in the case of two-component DBS, the primer exhibited higher antimicrobial activity than the adhesive (or bond) itself.
