dentin bonding agents (dba) have been used as root-end filling materials. present study evaluated the effects of polymerized dba on secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by normal human monocytes. in this study, monocytes were directly isolated from human peripheral blood, and exposed to cured scotch bond 1 (single bond) and prime and bond for 36 and 72 hours. secretion of il-1β and tnf-α in ...

PURPOSE More than half of the cavity restorations are replaced due to bacterial microleakage. A need for disinfection agents arises. Application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) may be beneficial, yet their impact on the adhesives' shear bond strength to dentin remains unknown. METHODS The aim was to assess the shear bond strength to dentin of different dental materials combined with AgNPs. Fa...

The bonding efficacy of sclerotic dentin was determined by measuring the polymerization contraction gap width of a commercial light-activated resin composite in a cervical defect and by measuring the micro-Vicker's hardness at the dentin adhesive surface; morphological characteristics were observed using a scanning electron microscope in extracted human incisors and premolars. Contraction gap f...

The eMcacy of pretreatment on the dentin surface with an aqueous solution of glycery1 methacrylate {GM) was examined by measuring the wall-to-wall polymerization centraction of a light activated composite in a cylindrical dentin cavity, and by measuring the tensile bondi strength to a flat dentin surface. All of the tested dentin surfaces were cleaned with neutralized O.5M EDTA and treated with...

In vitro tensile bond strengths of Photo Clearfil Bright (PB) and Clearfil Photo Posterior (CP) with Clearfil Photo Bond to human enamel and dentin were determined by a truncated cone bond test. Parameters tested were: four substrates (etched enamel; unetched dentin, D1; dentin conditioned with 10% polyacrylic acid, D2; and dentin etched with phosphoric acid, D3); two techniques (bonding agent ...

In comparison to enamel, bonding to normal dentin is a greater challenge because of its organic constituents, fluid-filed tubules, and variations in intrinsic composition. Bonding to sclerotic dentin is even more difficult. To evaluate the shear bond strengths of four adhesive systems to dentin substrates with different levels of mineralization, 120 extracted human teeth were randomly assigned ...

PURPOSE This study evaluated, in vitro, the capacity of a dentin bonding agent to improve the bond strength of orthodontic brackets using air abrasion enamel preparation. METHODS Each of the enamel surfaces received a different treatment prior to bonding procedures. Group 1 received acid-etched with 38% phosphoric acid for 30 seconds. Group 2 received acid-etched with 38% phosphoric acid for ...

The aim of this study was to enhance the bond strength of one-step bonding agents to dentin. In particular, the focus was on using Catabrush the applicator system of AQ Bond Plus. Catabrush was supplemented with N-phenylglycine and aromatic sulfinate as polymerization accelerators, as N-phenylglycine was reportedly beneficial in improving the bond strength to dentin. The results indicated that ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate tensile bond strengths of 2 dentin bonding agents containing solvents on Nd:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG laser-etched dentin surface. METHOD AND MATERIALS Occlusal enamel of 146 molars was removed, and exposed surfaces were ground with a diamond bur to produce bur-cut dentin surfaces. Of those teeth, 120 were assigned to 3 groups of 40 samples in which dentin was conditioned with ...

BACKGROUND When partial coverage restorations (veneers, inlays, onlays…) must be cemented to dentin, bond strength may not reach the same predictable values as to enamel. The purpose of this study was: 1. To compare, with a shear bond test, the bond strength to dentin of a total-etch and a self-etching bonding agent. 2. To determine whether creating microretention improves the bond strength to ...
