Description
Derya Gursel Surmelioglu and four co-authors test whether a shell-based disinfectant strengthens the glue bond between fillings and tooth dentin, in 2026 lab work. Cavity disinfectants can protect the bond, and chitosan, made from crustacean shells, may stabilize the collagen in dentin. The team used forty-eight sound human molars, split into shallow and deep dentin groups. Each group got no treatment, a standard chlorhexidine rinse, or a chitosan rinse before a two-step self-etch glue and composite were applied. After aging cycles, tiny beams were pulled apart to measure bond strength.
Chitosan gave higher bond strength than no treatment in both shallow and deep dentin, a statistical gap. Chlorhexidine landed in between, without a consistent edge over chitosan. The authors back chitosan as a bond-friendly disinfectant for this glue system. They caution that dish results on pulled teeth must still be proven in living mouths.
