objective: optimal dentin bonding is not always obtained in clinical practice due to func-tional forces. these forces may provide stresses throughout the tooth and restorative sys-tem, which in turn may affect the adhesive bond. this experimental study evaluated the effect of load cycling on bond strength of self-etch systems. materials and methods: one third of the coronal portions of 48 intac...

background: as the use of different irrigants to eliminate residual debris and smear layer in the field of endodontic is unavoidable, by considering the effect of irrigants on the bond strength of resin composite restorations, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of a mixture of a tetracycline isomer, an acid, and a detergent (mtad) on the shear bond strength of two self-etch adhesive...

In biomedicine, adhesives for hard and soft tissues are crucial for various clinical purposes. However, compared with that under dry conditions, adhesion performance in the presence of water or moisture is dramatically reduced. In this review, representative types of medical adhesives and the challenging aspects of wet adhesion are introduced. The adhesion mechanisms of marine mussels, sandcast...

Tissue-adhesive materials are emerging biomaterials with potential applications in wound healing patches, tissue sealants, and haemostat materials. Tissue adhesives based on synthetic polymers generally have good adhesion but not biodegradable. However, the long-term presence of non-biodegradable body can cause secondary harm to patient. An ideal adhesive should meet following requirements: adh...

Today’s intense search for non-oil derived polymeric materials from renewable resources is also evident in the field of adhesives and binders. This Special Issue is aimed at collecting cutting-edge original research papers and reviews on the main areas where biosourced polymeric adhesives from renewable materials are under development and under particular focus, and throughout the vast variety ...
