Two-step experimental etch-and-rinse model dentin adhesive was also modified with different concentrations of riboflavin and study its effect on the bond strength and on the degree of conversion of the adhesive. In addition, investigation of the modification of commercially available two-step etchand-rinse adhesive with different concentrations of riboflavin was performed to study the effect of riboflavin modification on resin impregnation. Materials and Methods: In phase I of the study, dentin disc specimens were prepared from sound molars, acidetched with 35% phosphoric acid and modified with either 0.1% riboflavin or chitosan/riboflavin (Ch/RF ratios 1:4 or 1:1) and photo-activated by UVA. Dentin surfaces of sound molars were exposed, acid-etched, and modified as described before. Etch-and-rinse dentin adhesive was applied, light-cured, and layered with resin-restorative composite. The resin infiltration and resin/dentin interface were characterized by micro-Raman spectroscopy and SEM. Moreover, in phase II, an experimental adhesive-system was modified with different concentrations of riboflavin (0, 1, 3, 5 and 10 wt%). Similarly, dentin surfaces were etched with 37% phosphoric acid, bonded with respective adhesives, restored with restorative composite-resin, and sectioned into beams to be stored for 24 hour or 9-months in artificial saliva. Micro-tensile bond testing was performed along with scanning electron microscopy to analyze the failure distribution of debonded beams and to investigate resin-dentin interface morphology. The degree of conversion was evaluated by performing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy at different timepoints from the start of irradiation. Data was analyzed with one-way and two-way ! &#! ANOVA followed by Tukey’s for pair-wise comparison. In phase III of the study, commercially available AdperTM Single Bond adhesive-system was modified with different concentrations of riboflavin (1, 3, 5 and 10 wt%) or left unmodified as a control. Dentin surfaces were again etched with 37% phosphoric acid, bonded with two coats of respective adhesives and restored with restorative composite-resin. The resin infiltration and resin-dentin interface were characterized by micro-Raman spectroscopy. Confocal microscopy was performed by adding Rhodamine B dye (0.01%) to the bonding resin. Data was analyzed with two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s for pair-wise comparison. Results: In Phase I of the study, an open-intact collagen network-structure, formation of uniform hybrid-layer and higher resin infiltration were found with 0.1%RF and Ch/RF 1:4 modifications. Raman analysis revealed chemical changes and shifts in Amide bands with the modification of dentin collagen-matrix. Results in Phase II of the study, modification with 1% and 3% riboflavin increased the micro-tensile bond strength compared to the control at 24 h and 9-months storage with no significant differences in degree of conversion (pD30A9!,\!]0983!P!W\!^->8:E!@1!!_!@G30A9:E1!"**#J$*?")&1! !
