The purpose of this study was to investigate the micro-morphology of the resin-dentin inter-diffusion zone using two different single-bottle self-etching dentin adhesives with and without previous acid-etching, after in vitro mechanical loading stimuli. Materials and Methods. Extracted human third molars were sectioned to obtain dentin surfaces. Two different single-bottle self-etching dentin adhesives, Futurabond U (FUT) and Experimental (EXP) both from VOCO, were applied following the manufacturer's instructions or after 37% phosphoric acid application. Resin-dentin interfaces were analyzed with dye assisted confocal microscopy evaluation (CLSM), including the calcium-chelation technique, xylenol orange (CLSM-XO). Results. The confocal microscopy revealed that resin-dentin interfaces of unloaded specimens were deficiently resin-hybridized, in general. These samples showed a rodhamine B-labeled hybrid complex and adhesive layer completely affected by fluorescein penetration (nanoleakage) through the porous resin-dentin interface, but thicker after phosphoric acid-etching. Load cycling promoted an improved sealing of the resin-dentin interface at dentin, a decrease of the hybrid complex porosity, and an increment of dentin mineralization. Load cycled specimens treated with the xylenol orange technique produced a clearly outlined fluorescence due to a consistent Ca-mineral deposits within the bonding interface and inside the dentinal tubules, especially when the experimental adhesive was applied.}, organization = {This work was supported by grants MINECO/FEDER MAT2011-24551, MAT2014-52036-P, and CEI-Biotic UGR.}, publisher = {Microscopy Society of America}, keywords = {Dentin}, keywords = {Fluoresceine}, keywords = {Rodhamine}, keywords = {Xylenol orange}, keywords = {Confocal microscopy}, title = {Improved sealing and remineralization at the resin-dentin interface after phosphoric acid etching and load cycling}, doi = {10.1017/S1431927615015317}, author = {Toledano Pérez, Manuel and Cabello Malagón, Inmaculada and Sánchez Aguilera, Fátima and Osorio Ruiz, María Estrella and Toledano Osorio, Manuel and Osorio Ruiz, Raquel}, }
