Effect of Tannic Acid and Quercetin Antioxidants on Bond Strength of Resin Cement to Dentin after Internal Bleaching

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of tannic acid and quercetin on the immediate microshear bond strength (μSBS) of two resin cements to dentin after internal bleaching. Materials and Methods: The access cavity in eighty extracted maxillary incisors was internally bleached except the control groups. The labial surfaces were ground to expose a flat dentin surface. The specimens were randomly divided into eight groups (n=10) as follows: 1) Control/Dou; Doulink without bleaching, 2) Bl/Dou; Bleaching+Doulink, 3) Bl+Ta/ Dou; Bleaching+Tannic acid+Doulink, 4) Bl+Qu/Dou;Bleaching+Quercetin+Doulink, 5) Control/PSA; Panavia SA without bleaching, 6) Bl/PSA;Bleaching+Panavia SA, 7) Bl+Ta/ PSA; Bleaching+Tannic acid+Panavia SA, 8) Bl+Qu+PSA; Bleaching+Quercetin+Panavia SA. After 24 hours, the μSBS of the specimens was tested and the obtained data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tamhane test (p<0.05). Results: The µSBS of Doulink groups were higher than the PSA groups (p<0.001). The µSBS of Bl+Ta/Dou and Bl+Qu/ Dou groups did not differ from Bl/Dou (p>0.05). The µSBS of Bl+Ta/PSA group was statistically significantly higher than the Bl/PSA group (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between µSBS of Bl+Qu/PSA and Bl/PSA groups (p=0.39). Conclusions: TA partially reversed the negative influence of internal bleaching on the µSBS of Panavia SA while quercetin did not increase the bond strength of both resin cements.
