Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of different bonding systems or combined silane coupling agents on the bonding strength and microleakage of aged composite resins. Methods: Nano-type composite resin was used to prepare resin blocks and stored in distilled water at (37±1) ℃ for 2 months. The surface was polished by carborundum bur and divided into five groups according to different surface treatment Methods: A, control group (without chemical treatment); B, two-step self-etching bonding system (Clearfil SE Bond, CSE group); C, silane coupling agent pretreatment and two-step self-etching bonding system (silane + CSE group); D, universal bonding system (Single Bond Universal, SBU group); and E, silane coupling agent pretreatment and general bonding system (silane+ SBU group). After treatment, the fresh resin was used for filling and curing, respectively. The samples were sliced longitudinally along two vertical directions using a low-speed diamond cutting machine, and 10 specimens with cross-sectional area of 1.0mm2 were prepared in each group. The microtensile test was carried out and all the fractures were observed under stereoscopic microscope. After the bonding was completed, the microleakage of the bonding interface was observed by methylene blue staining. Results: The microtensile bonding strength of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Silane could increase the bonding strength between fresh and aged resin, and the microtensile bonding strength of silane SBU group was the largest (P<0.05). Under the stereoscopic microscope, the fracture modes of the samples in the experimental group were mainly cohesive fracture, while those in the control group were mainly adhesive interface fracture. The microleakage between fresh and aged resins in the experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference among four experimental groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The surface application of adhesive or combined silane coupling agent can significantly improve the bonding strength and reduce the microleakage between aged resin and fresh resin, and the repair effect of silane coupling agent combined with universal adhesive has better repair effect.
