Sealing ability of dentin coating using adhesive resin systems.

Abstract

Before dentin coating electrical resistance of the coronal dentin ranged from 1 to 11 k(omega), and increased significantly after the first coating by 3-15 times, and by 5-185 times after the second coating. Thermal diffusion was significantly smaller in the dentin after the coating. Before coating, the temperature change inside the pulp chamber ranged from 2-5 degrees C at 5 seconds after the thermal stimuli were applied. This decreased significantly to between 0.3-0.5 degrees C after the coating.
