2. Introduction
The application of a dentin bonding agent
to freshly cut dentin when it is exposed
after tooth preparation for indirect
restorations (inlays/onlays, crowns).
A procedure recommended before final
impression making to preserve the dentinal
collagen network and develop an adequate
hybrid layer.
3. Dentin exposure after preparation
Freshly cut dentin is susceptible to bacterial
contamination during provisionalization period.(1-2)
The colonization of bacteria through the exposed dentinal
tubules leads to post-operative sensitivity and a
compromise in bond strength.
Whenever dentin is exposed, the application of a dentin
bonding agent is recommended.
4. Cont’d
Dentin bonding strength is weaker when
subjected to occlusal forces immediately in
direct restoration.
Demineralized dentin can easily collapse by
the seating pressure of the restoration.(3-6)
Stress-free dentin bond development
improves restoration adaptation.(6)
5. Main issues in dentin bonding
1.Dentin contamination
2.Susceptibility of the hybrid
layer to collapse until it is
polymerized.
6. Rationale for IDS
Freshly cut dentin is the ideal substrate for dentin bonding.
Creating a hybrid layer that both mimics the dentino-enamel junction (DEJ) and
promotes proper adaptation and adherence of the final restoration is the basis of
minimal intervention dentistry.
Precuring of dentin bonding agent leads to improved bond strength.
Dentinal tubules are blocked by the movement of dentinal tubule fluids which
hinder the penetration of the resin into them. (1-2)
7. Advantages
Limits the needs for anesthesia during insertion.
Reduced post-op sensitivity.(7)
Significantly increases retention when combined
with GIC, RMGI cements. Exceeding the cohesive
strength of the tooth.(8)
Improves the retention for teeth with short clinical
crowns and excessively tapered preparations.
9. How to identify dentin?
A short etching (2-3 secs) followed by thorough drying of the prepared surfaces.
Dentin can be easily recognized because of its glossy aspect, whereas enamel is
frosty.
10. Preparation
When margins terminate in dentin, a marked chamfer (0.7 mm to 0.8 mm) is recommended to provide adequate
margin definition and enough space for the adhesive and overlaying restoration (Figures 2A through 2C). A shallow
chamfer would cause the adhesive resin to pull over the margin and compromise both margin definition and
porcelain thickness.
11. Etching
Immediately after tooth preparation, the uncontaminated dentin surfaces are etched for 5 to 15 seconds (depending on
the adhesive system used). It is recommended to extend etching 1 mm to 2 mm over the remaining enamel to ensure
further adhesion of eventual excess resin.
13. Final layers + Glycerin
O. The adhesive is initially cured for
20 seconds.
P. A layer of glycerine is applied on
the sealed dentin to cure the air-
inhibited layer of the resin.
Q. Another technique that has been
suggested to reduce or eliminate
the OIL is to wipe the sealed
surface with a cotton pellet
soaked in 70% ethyl alcohol for 10
s (9). or covering the IDS surface
with a liner (flowable composite)
if space permits.(10)
14. Impression procedure
• Polyether is not recommended
(Impregum Soft)
• The OIL may in turn inhibit the
polymerization of vinyl polysiloxane
(VPS) impression materials,
depending on the type of DBA.(11)
• Air blocking and pumicing was the
best method to reduce the effect of
OIL.(12)
15. Caution with provisionalization
• Sealed dentin surfaces have the potential
to bond to resin-based temporary
cements/materials.
• Usage of non-resin-based cements is
recommended. (Non-eugenol ZnO and
Calcium hydroxide)
• Cover tooth preparation using a
separating medium (e.g petroleum jelly or
Pro-V coat) to avoid locking of
restorations.(13)
17. Final insertion
Various authors have evaluated methods for removal
of provisional cement in vitro. Reviewing these
studies, it was found that the highest bond strength
values were reported with soft-air abrasion(14), air
borne particle abrasion with aluminium oxide and
fluoride-free pumice paste systems.
18. Question time!
The ideal time to seal the dentinal tubules is?
A.After tooth preparation before blocking undercuts
B.After tooth preparation after blocking undercuts
C.After taking the impression
D.All of the above
21. (A) Intraoral condition immediately after restoration removal; (B) self-etch primer application for
20 seconds; (C) gentle air blowing for solvent evaporation; (D) bond layer application; (E)
adhesive layer light curing for 40 seconds; and (F) flowable composite resin coat application
22. (A) Undercut filling with composite resin; (B) enamel margins finished with fine diamond bur; (C)
preparation finished and ready for impression; (D) negative mold of the prepared tooth; (E)
glycerin application; (F) temporary restoration
23. (A) Virtual design of the restoration; (B) final restoration on stone model; and (C) final intraoral condition of the restored tooth
24. (A) Clinical condition of the restored tooth after 15 months of follow-up; and (B) radiographic condition of the restored tooth
after 15 months of follow-up
25. Conclusion
Immediate application and polymerization of the dentin bonding agent to
the freshly cut dentin, before impression taking, is recommended. The
immediate dentin sealing appears to achieve improved bond strength, fewer
gap formations, decreased bacterial leakage, and reduced dentin sensitivity.

These factors when viewed within the frame of indirect bonded restorations lead to the conclusion that dentin should be sealed immediately after tooth preparation.
Precuring before insertion can interfere with the fit of the restoration.
If done, dentin surface must be reprepared then re-etched
