Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of two commercial primers and distilled water on the morphology, molecular composition and collagen conformation of acid-demineralized dentin in situ.Methods: Dentin specimens etched with Scotchbond Etchant were imaged by tapping mode AFM and analyzed by MIR-FTIR spectroscopy. They were then primed with Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus Primer, Scotchbond 1 Adhesive or distilled water and imaged and analyzed again. The chemical modifications induced on the uppermost 2 mu m of primed dentin were studied after water and original primer subtraction. The conformational changes of type I collagen at this region were evaluated by deconvoluting the amide I band components. The absorbance ratio A(n)(1655/1627) was used to semiquantitatively assess, on a relative basis, the extent of collagen denaturation.Results: All the priming treatments swelled the collapsed dentin collagen left after etching. No evidence of primary bonding was found after priming treatments, while approximately 50% of the conditioned dentin collagen appeared denatured. Treatment with distilled water did not change the status of denatured collagen, however, application of the commercial primers refolded the alpha-helix to approximate to 95% of the extent found on the native reference dentin.Significance: The dynamic response of dentin collagen to demineralization and priming treatments reveals the critical role of some primers in rapidly restoring the conformational status of acid-denatured collagen. Implementation of reactive adhesive groups in alpha-helix recovery may provide an associative means of modifying the mechanical properties of the demineralized collagen based on the extent of their intermolecular bonding.
