Comparison between the use of alcohol and chlorhexidine in the intracanal disinfection protocol before the installation of fiberglass pin related to the increase in adhesiveness: a systematic literature review

Comparativo entre o uso de álcool e clorexidina no protocolo de desinfecção intracanal anterior à instalação de pino de fibra de vidro relacionado ao aumento da adesividade: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Many clinical failures involving the fiberglass post result from the detachment between the retainer, the root canal and the cement. Thus, the connections that cause a probability of these failures are essential for dentistry.

Objective:

To compare the efficiency of intracanal disinfection between alcohol and chlorhexidine in the context of minimizing fractures.

Methods:

The present systematic review registered in PROSPERO under the protocol CRD42021233516 based on a Medical Subject Headings strategy: “((Endodontics OR Root Canal Filling Materials OR Dental Materials) AND Chlorhexidine AND Ethanol AND Dental Bonding)” in the search engines PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase and Lilacs. Studies in Portuguese, English or Spanish were included, without restrictions regarding their methodology and year of publication. Articles that did not report an intracanal hygiene protocol before the procedure, without full publication and orthodontic research were excluded.

Results:

Six studies were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In all, chlorhexidine was used for intracanal cleaning, comparing it with the other groups, and in 4 it was compared with alcohol and other groups. Discussion: The articles used different media and storage times and most used bovine teeth. There was no significant difference between any other characteristics regarding the increase in adhesiveness of the set.

Conclusion:

There is no difference between the use of alcohol or chlorhexidine as a disinfection method. However, a previous protocol must be established for longer treatment longevity.

INTRODUCTION

It is the duty of restorative dentistry to keep up with the technological progress of dentistry, at all stages of oral rehabilitation. As an example, it is possible to notice the emergence of new possibilities to help with the retention of the restorative material, such as fiberglass posts. It is known that, depending on the degree of coronary destruction, the use of intraradicular retainers is essentia. Therefore, the fiberglass post has been used as an alternative to cast cores, as their modulus of elasticity is the main advantage of close to dentin and it is able to distribute occlusal forces more evenly, Improving esthetics, not requiring laboratory steps, not suffering from corrosion, enabling greater preservation of the tooth structure and biocompatibility [11 Da Costa Fartes O, De Resende L, Cilli R, Do Carmo A, Baroudi K, Cortelli J.

].

The preparation and cementation of the intraradicular retainers can make microorganisms resistant to the root canals to aggregate on the surface of the posts. Therefore, correct cleaning is essential to avoid reinfection in the root canal(s) of the endodontically treated dental element. In dental practice, 70% alcohol and chlorhexidine are the most used disinfection agents for this purpose [33 Gomes França FM, Vaneli RC, Conti CM, Basting RT, do Amaral FL, Turssi CP. Effect of Chlorhexidine and Ethanol Application on Long-term Push-out Bond Strength of Fiber Posts to Dentin. J Contemp Dent Pract. 2015;16(7):547-53. https://doi.org/10.5005/jp-journals-10024-1720

].

In addition to the above, it is important to pay attention to the issue of bond strength among the root canal, the cement, and the fiberglass post. Most of the clinical failures which involve the root retainer in question, happen due to the detachment of this set. Aiming to avoid this problem, the control of dentin moisture and the promotion of effective adhesion have been analyzed since there is still no pre-established effective cleaning protocol for this purpose. Thus, it is worth noting that chlorhexidine has the advantages of its antimicrobial activity, acting as a topical antiseptic, being a disinfectant, and being a potent inhibitor of metalloproteinases, which are enzymes related to hydrolytic degradation. Alcohol 70% is a fast-acting, non-toxic, low-cost, colorless bactericide and its use has been proposed to help control dentin moisture [22 Lecardelli EA, Poletto-Neto V, Pappen FG, Pereira-Cenci T, Morgental RD. Effect of chlorhexidine and isopropyl alcohol on immediate and delayed bond strength of glass fiber posts. G Ital Endod. 2019;33(2):55-61. https://doi.org/10.32067/gie.2019.33.02.06

Based on what has been established, this study aims to carry out a literature review that tries to establish an effective clinical protocol for correct intra-radicular cleaning, aiming to improve the adhesiveness of the joint (root canal, cement and fiberglass post) and its short, medium and long term answer. Thus, analyzing a possible advance in the stability of the bond strength.

METHODS

The study in question was filed following the parameters of the PROSPERO protocol (International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews), under the registration number CRD42021233516. To accomplish it, the PICO model was used with the population: teeth with the use of intraradicular retainers; the intervention: intracanal disinfection with chlorhexidine; the control: comparison with ethanol; and the outcome: the circumstance of oral rehabilitation with emphasis on the prognosis associated with the analyzed intracanal materials. Eligible studies had no restrictions regarding their methodology and year of publication. Works published in Portuguese, English or Spanish were analyzed, due to the command of the languages by the reviewers and because of what they represent in an almost absolute way in the selected sample. Articles that did not report an intracanal hygiene protocol before the procedure and studies without full publication and orthodontic studies were excluded. Such eligibility and exclusion criteria was established due to the proposed objective of the review in question, as it aims at a detailed analysis of previously published works comparing intracanal cleaning methods before installing a fiberglass post, regardless of the study design and when they were done.

For the development of this systematic review, a literature search was carried out, using the basic strategy: “((Endodontics OR Root Canal Filling Materials OR Dental Materials) AND Chlorhexidine AND Ethanol AND Dental Bonding)” and all entry terms suggested as synonyms of MeSH (Medical Subject Headings), in the following electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase and Lilacs. For the Embase search, the MeSH terms were replaced by their entree counterparts, keeping all additional terms. The analysis was carried out including studies published until December 29, 2020. All selected works presented in the text were available on the virtual network and it was not necessary to contact the authors. Two references constantly cited in the included studies were also added [77 Angeloni V, Mazzoni A, Marchesi G, Cadenaro M, Comba A, Maravić T, et al. Role of chlorhexidine on long-term bond strength of self-adhesive composite cements to intraradicular dentin. J Adhes Dent. 2017;19(4):341-8. https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06....
].

The study selection process followed the criteria recommended by the PRISMA flowchart, being carried out by two duly calibrated reviewers with a final Kappa agreement index of 0.87. The reviewers’ calibration process took place through a virtual meeting in which a preliminary reading ofthe 5 studies was carried out in full and their inclusions and exclusions were discussed. After consensus on the criteria, the reviewers independently and blindly selected them, using an excel® table to enable the Kappa test which minimum agreement was set at 0.85.

The risk of bias assessment was performed based on the Cochrane Collaboration Tool for Assessing the Risk of Bias of Randomized Clinical Trials. However, most of the selected studies are not compatible with the design provided by the tool, so minor adaptations were made for the suitability in the vitro studies. Studies with high levels of bias will be emphasized in the qualitative synthesis of the results.

RESULTS

With the search made in electronic databases, 235 eligible articles were found. After removing the duplicates, 181 studies remained. Through the reading of titles and abstracts, 21 works were chosen for a full reading. In the end, four articles were included, according to the eligibility and exclusion criteria mentioned above in the methodology. Two references constantly cited in the included studies were also added, totaling 6 studies for the systematic review. The steps can be analyzed according to the complete PRISMA flowchart seen in figure 1.

https://doi.org/10.32067/gie.2019.33.02....
], human teeth were used, while in the others, bovine teeth were analyzed. Regarding the follow-up time, two of the selected articles evaluated the dental elements in the same period, this being an immediate evaluation and in another after 12 months [99 Cecchin D, De Almeida JFAJFA, Gomes BPFABPFA, Zaia AAAA, Ferraz CCRCCR.

https://doi.org/10.5005/jp-journals-1002...
]. The other studies were heterogeneous in this regard, with one of them being evaluated only immediately [88 Lindblad RM, Lassila LVJ, Salo V, Vallittu PK, Tjäderhane L. Effect of chlorhexidine on initial adhesion of fiber-reinforced post to root canal. J Dent. 2010;38(10):796-801. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06.011
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06....

https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896...
].

After the selection and the preparation of teeth in all studies, specimens were divided into groups. Except for one of the analyses, in which the roots were divided into 3 groups [33 Gomes França FM, Vaneli RC, Conti CM, Basting RT, do Amaral FL, Turssi CP. Effect of Chlorhexidine and Ethanol Application on Long-term Push-out Bond Strength of Fiber Posts to Dentin. J Contemp Dent Pract. 2015;16(7):547-53. https://doi.org/10.5005/jp-journals-10024-1720
https://doi.org/10.5005/jp-journals-1002...
], the dental elements were evaluated in 4 different groups. In all articles, intracanal preparation with chlorhexidine was performed for comparison. In the works selected by reference to the articles included [77 Angeloni V, Mazzoni A, Marchesi G, Cadenaro M, Comba A, Maravić T, et al. Role of chlorhexidine on long-term bond strength of self-adhesive composite cements to intraradicular dentin. J Adhes Dent. 2017;19(4):341-8. https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06....
], chlorhexidine was compared only with the control group, while in the others it was compared with alcohol and with the other groups.

After cleaning, drying the canals and distributing the teeth in clusters, in all studies, the fiberglass post was cemented with subsequent storage of the dental element, except the work by Cecchin et al. [99 Cecchin D, De Almeida JFAJFA, Gomes BPFABPFA, Zaia AAAA, Ferraz CCRCCR.

], in which the type of storage was used for the separation of groups of teeth. There was heterogeneity regarding this step, which can be seen in the data summarized in table 1.

Storage methods used in the evaluated works.

In all articles analyzed, the push-out test was carried out using a universal testing machine, obtaining the bond strength data in megapascals and there was a difference only in the speed of the crosshead used, being 1mm/min in 3 of them [22 Lecardelli EA, Poletto-Neto V, Pappen FG, Pereira-Cenci T, Morgental RD.

Regarding the failure modes observed in the analyzed works, the behaviors verified are described in Table 2. In the studies by Lindblad et al.

https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896...
], the control group and chlorhexidine with two different types of cement were compared. Therefore the table for comparing the types of fracture considered the DTLight-Post and RelyX Unicem cements, respectively, chosen by drawing lots in Excel software (Microsoft Corporation) with numbers, differing only about the amount of types of cement evaluated in each article.

Distribution of fracture types.

After analyzing bond strength, the article by Lecardelli et al. [22 Lecardelli EA, Poletto-Neto V, Pappen FG, Pereira-Cenci T, Morgental RD. Effect of chlorhexidine and isopropyl alcohol on immediate and delayed bond strength of glass fiber posts. G Ital Endod. 2019;33(2):55-61. https://doi.org/10.32067/gie.2019.33.02.06
https://doi.org/10.32067/gie.2019.33.02....
] found similar values for all dentine initially. This evaluation was the only one that presented alcohol as the best treatment alternative, after 6 months of storage. However, even if the group that received the pre-treatment with alcohol showed a smaller reduction, all groups showed a significant decrease in the evaluated characteristics over time.

Influence of chlorhexidine and ethanol on the bond strength and durability of the adhesion of the fiber posts to root dentin using a total etching adhesive system.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joen.2011.05.0...
] found that there was no statistical significant difference, while the other study showed that the use of alcohol or chlorhexidine improved the initial bond strength.

Due to the current methodology of studies being in vitro, an adaptation of the risk of bias assessment tool present in the Cochrane Handbook was used. The evaluative element “allocation concealment” was excluded because in in vitro studies, there was no need for it. The general assessment can be seen in figure 2. All studies had an uncertain risk regarding the blinding of the outcome evaluators and none had a registered protocol to allow the assessment of the selective outcome. All had adequate outcomes about the objectives. Therefore, only two studies, Lindblad et al. [88 Lindblad RM, Lassila LVJ, Salo V, Vallittu PK, Tjäderhane L. Effect of chlorhexidine on initial adhesion of fiber-reinforced post to root canal. J Dent. 2010;38(10):796-801. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06.011

] and Angeloni et al. [77 Angeloni V, Mazzoni A, Marchesi G, Cadenaro M, Comba A, Maravić T, et al. Role of chlorhexidine on long-term bond strength of self-adhesive composite cements to intraradicular dentin. J Adhes Dent. 2017;19(4):341-8. https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896

], stored their samples in artificial saliva, corresponding to an important methodological bias to better replicate the oral environment . For having very similar performances, it was decided not to take into account this criterion for the qualitative analysis. However, the methodological flaws were better explained in the discussions.

DISCUSSION

According to the data obtained in this review, a lack of inclusion and exclusion criteria for the sample was noted, which was mentioned in only two of the studies that were performed with human teeth [77 Angeloni V, Mazzoni A, Marchesi G, Cadenaro M, Comba A, Maravić T, et al. Role of chlorhexidine on long-term bond strength of self-adhesive composite cements to intraradicular dentin. J Adhes Dent. 2017;19(4):341-8. https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06....
]. In the article by Angeloni et al. [77 Angeloni V, Mazzoni A, Marchesi G, Cadenaro M, Comba A, Maravić T, et al. Role of chlorhexidine on long-term bond strength of self-adhesive composite cements to intraradicular dentin. J Adhes Dent. 2017;19(4):341-8. https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896
https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896...
], the inclusion criteria was the absence of fracture, root caries, previous root treatment, pin or crown, and minimum root length of 13 ± 3 mm. While in the evaluation by Lindblad et al. [88 Lindblad RM, Lassila LVJ, Salo V, Vallittu PK, Tjäderhane L. Effect of chlorhexidine on initial adhesion of fiber-reinforced post to root canal. J Dent. 2010;38(10):796-801. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06.011
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06....
], only the minimum length of 9 mm was required.

Many clinical failures that are related to fiberglass posts are caused by detachment of the cement, post and root canal walls. Therefore, some substances have been studied to promote greater adherence to the group mentioned above, among them alcohol and chlorhexidine [22 Lecardelli EA, Poletto-Neto V, Pappen FG, Pereira-Cenci T, Morgental RD. Effect of chlorhexidine and isopropyl alcohol on immediate and delayed bond strength of glass fiber posts. G Ital Endod. 2019;33(2):55-61. https://doi.org/10.32067/gie.2019.33.02.06

https://doi.org/10.1590/S1415-5419200900...
]. When performing a comparison of intracanal treatment with chlorhexidine and isopropyl alcohol, in association or isolation, Lecardelli et al. [22 Lecardelli EA, Poletto-Neto V, Pappen FG, Pereira-Cenci T, Morgental RD. Effect of chlorhexidine and isopropyl alcohol on immediate and delayed bond strength of glass fiber posts. G Ital Endod. 2019;33(2):55-61. https://doi.org/10.32067/gie.2019.33.02.06
https://doi.org/10.32067/gie.2019.33.02....
], observed a similar bond strength for all dentins in the initial evaluation and after the follow-up period, the alcohol proved to be more efficient, with a better bond strength of the set with its previous use than in the other evaluated groups. As in other studies, initially, there was no statistical significant difference, but only in this article did alcohol prove to be superior over time.

In another of the evaluated studies, that of Cecchin et al. [99 Cecchin D, De Almeida JFAJFA, Gomes BPFABPFA, Zaia AAAA, Ferraz CCRCCR. Effect of chlorhexidine and ethanol on the durability of the adhesion of the fiber post relined with resin composite to the root canal.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joen.2011.01.0...
], as mentioned above, there was no significant difference in the initial assessment. However, after 12 months, both alcohol and chlorhexidine were superior to the control group, preserving the bond strength of the fiberglass post with the dentien, with no one that surpasses the other in a statistically relevant way. As demonstrated in previous studies, chlorhexidine proved to be efficient due to its capacity to inhibit metalloproteinases [1111 Carrilho MRO, Carvalho RM, de Goes MF, di Hipólito V, Geraldeli S, Tay FR, et al.

]. However, because that collagen fibrils present in the dentin are intrinsically wet due to their affinity for water, some discoveries have shown the increase in the stability of the bonds when adhesive mixtures are hydrophobic, which is why ethanol can be a substitute dentin water and it can form a less unstable hybrid layer [1717 Malacarne J, Carvalho RM, de Goes MF, Svizero N, Pashley DH, Tay FR, et al.

Therefore, it was explained that the use of such agents can prevent the reduction of the bond strength for the evaluated period.

Another article [1010. Cecchin D, De Almeida JFAJFA, Gomes BPFABPFA, Zaia AAAA, Ferraz CCRCCR. Influence of chlorhexidine and ethanol on the bond strength and durability of the adhesion of the fiber posts to root dentin using a total etching adhesive system.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joen.2011.05.0...
], written by the same group of authors mentioned above, assessed aging after the period equivalent to the previous one. However, they observed that the intracanal pretreatment with chlorhexidine preserved the bond strength after aging. Ethanol has a higher vapor pressure than water at 23.8°C, evaporating more quickly, so this may be linked to its inability to maintain bond strength when using a hydrophobic adhesive [2020 Sadek FT, Mazzoni A, Breschi L, Tay FR, Braga RR. Six-month evaluation of adhesives interface created by a hydrophobic adhesive to acid-etched ethanol-wet bonded dentine with simplified dehydration protocols. J Dent. 2010;38(4):276-83. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2009.11.007
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2009.11....
]. Thus, this explanation is in agreement with the results verified by the authors of the explained analysis.

The application of alcohol and chlorhexidine related to conditioning and rinsing adhesives has been investigated to improve the longevity of bonding adhesive systems to dentine [1212 Carrilho MRO, Geraldeli S, Tay F, de Goes MF, Carvalho RM, Tjäderhane L, et al. In vivo preservation of the hybrid layer by chlorhexidine. J Dent Res. 2007;86(6):529-33. https://doi.org/10.1177/154405910708600608

] analyzed the dental groupings initially and after 180 days (6 months), demonstrating that both ethanol and chlorhexidine increased bond strength in the initial assessment when compared to the control group. However, with aging, chlorhexidine proved to be superior to the other groups, presenting the highest bond strength averages and the best results regardless of the storage period.

The two remaining evaluations, by Angeloni et al. [77 Angeloni V, Mazzoni A, Marchesi G, Cadenaro M, Comba A, Maravić T, et al.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06....
], showed that there was no statistically significant difference in any group. Both studies compared chlorhexidine with a control group. Lindblad et al. [88 Lindblad RM, Lassila LVJ, Salo V, Vallittu PK, Tjäderhane L. Effect of chlorhexidine on initial adhesion of fiber-reinforced post to root canal.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jdent.2010.06....
] evaluated it only initially (3-7 days) while Angeloni et al. [77 Angeloni V, Mazzoni A, Marchesi G, Cadenaro M, Comba A, Maravić T, et al. Role of chlorhexidine on long-term bond strength of self-adhesive composite cements to intraradicular dentin. J Adhes Dent. 2017;19(4):341-8. https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896
https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896...
] also analyzed the bond strength after aging (afterward 6 and 12 months). Therefore, it could be observed that the use of chlorhexidine for dentinal pretreatment did not improve the durability of adhesion over time, but this feature was not shown to negatively affect the evaluated characteristic.

All studies evaluated fracture patterns to analyze failure modes and classify them. When observing the assessments made by the authors, there is heterogeneity regarding the findings related to the predominant types of failures. However, except Angeloni et al. [77 Angeloni V, Mazzoni A, Marchesi G, Cadenaro M, Comba A, Maravić T, et al. Role of chlorhexidine on long-term bond strength of self-adhesive composite cements to intraradicular dentin.

https://doi.org/10.32067/gie.2019.33.02....
], in all otherwise, intracanal pretreatment with some of the materials (alcohol and chlorhexidine) resulted in marked changes in fracture patterns. According to Angeloni et al. [77 Angeloni V, Mazzoni A, Marchesi G, Cadenaro M, Comba A, Maravić T, et al. Role of chlorhexidine on long-term bond strength of self-adhesive composite cements to intraradicular dentin. J Adhes Dent. 2017;19(4):341-8. https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896
https://doi.org/10.3290/j.jad.a38896...
] chlorhexidine did not show results on resistance

DISCUSSION

Despite the limitations of the studies evaluated, it is inferred that it is not possible to establish a material used in the intracanal disinfection protocol before the installation of a fiberglass post that significantly improves the adhesiveness between the root canal, cement and post.

Regardless of the applied material, there was no difference in the initial bond strength values. However, over time, the use of alcohol or chlorhexidine contributed so that the evaluated characteristic was preserved.

Therefore, it is up to the dentist to choose a disinfectant agent for intracanal cleaning, regardless of what it is, taking into account their clinical reality to select it.
