Although the adhesion phenomenon is crucial in achieving and maintaining a composite building on dental structure, this phenomenon is not completely understood. On the other hand, adhesion is dependent on the interface quality (the interface between enamel and adhesive). In this study, the authors approached the subject of the influence of adhesive clinical application on the composite-enamel i...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of environmental temperature, humidity and methods to dry the etched enamel surface on the adhesive strength of dental adhesive resin Panavia EX '. The findings were as follows 1. Though temperature and humidity in oral cavity were higher than 30•Ž and 81% respectively, they were significantly different from site to site. 2. By rubber dam ...

With the arrival of self-etch adhesives systems, there has been a rise in interest among clinicians, making it imperative for health professionals to have knowledge of the properties, characteristics, the association as well as the dental structures of these materials, in order to select them and use them correctly. The self-etch adhesive systems show good values of bond strength, microleakage ...

The behavior of microencapsulated polymerization initiators in dental adhesives is unknown. This study investigated the effects of new microencapsulated initiators in novel, multi-purpose, PMMA-type adhesive resin on the bonding performance and polymerization reactivity. Microencapsulated BPO and 1,3,5-trimethylbarbituric acid (TMBA) with PEMA as a shell polymer were quantitatively synthesized ...

INTRODUCTION Despite its origins in the mid-1950s with a bone adhesive called Ostamer [1], the development of bone adhesives is still in its early stages and is not a mature field. There lacks a consensus on aspects of adhesive performance and bond strength measurement. As a result, there are not standard tests for quantifying and evaluating the adhesive strength at the interface between the bo...

Objective: The bonding adhesive holds the composite filling to the residual tooth, creating a chain cross-–link during the photo polymerization process. In this article we will be discussing the polymerization process under a thermodynamic viewpoint between amorphous structures of the dental market adhesives, the hybrid layer of the residual tooth and the white polymers filling. The thermodynam...

Antibacterial bonding agents and composites containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) have been recently developed. The objectives of this study were to investigate the antibacterial effect of novel adhesives containing different mass fractions of DMADDM on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilm at different developmental stages. Different mass fractions of DMADDM were incorporate...

BACKGROUND The present study aimed at 3D analysis of adhesive remnants and enamel loss following the debonding of orthodontic molar tubes and orthodontic clean-up to assess the effectiveness and safety of One-Step Finisher and Polisher and Adhesive Residue Remover in comparison to tungsten carbide bur. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty human molars were bonded with chemical-cure orthodontic adhesi...

Ceramics are a very popular material in dental implant technology due to their tribological properties, their biocompatibility and their esthetic appearance. However, their natural surface structure lacks the ability of proper osseointegration, which constitutes a crucial process for the stability and, thus, the functionality of a bone implant. We investigated the application of a glass solder ...
