BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a desensitizing agent on microleakage of Class V cavities. MATERIAL AND METHODS 72 premolar teeth were used. There were 6 groups. Class V restorations were prepared with two different restorative materials (Equia fil, GC, America and Grandio, VOCO, Germany) and two adhesive systems (Clearfil SE Bond, Kuraray, Japan and S3 Bond Plu...

A marginal fit of all-ceramic crowns is a prerequisite for the long-term clinical success dental restoration. Few in vivo studies have investigated effect film thickness various luting agents on vertical discrepancy. This study evaluated influence three cements occlusal discrepancy milled using complete digital workflow. Forty-three patients treated students’ clinic Tel-Aviv University with 45 ...

as well as by an increase in susceptibility to caries due to dissolution of the highly calcified prismless enamel by acid etching, or it could be attributed to reduced self-eleaning activity in the area around the bracket base. Recently, glass ionomer cement (GIC)iii-iS) has been used as an adhesive material for the purpose of enamel protection beeause no etching is required for application. Ho...

PURPOSE To determine the bond stability and the change in interfacial ultrastructure of a conventional glassionomer cement bonded to dentin, with and without pretreatment using a polyalkenoic acid conditioner. MATERIALS AND METHODS The occlusal dentin surfaces of 10 teeth were ground flat. Glass-ionomer cement was bonded to the surfaces either with or without polyalkenoic acid conditioning. T...

The development of aesthetic and adhesive dentistry and the availability of reliable new dental materials have changed the daily practice of dentistry because these advances have led to more conservative cavity design and preservation of maximum sound dental tissues. The objective of this study is to compare the bond strength and microleakage of Compomer with Composite and Glass ionomer (conven...

BACKGROUND Cervical lesions of anterior and posterior teeth are a common finding in routine dental practice. They are of much concern to the patient, if present in esthetically sensitive regions. Adhesive tooth-colored restorative materials are generally recommended for treating such lesions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effect of various food media (lime juice, ...

Chitosan is a biocompatible material that has been researched in many areas in recent years. As it can be obtained from renewable sources, has antimicrobial properties, is biocompatible, and has no toxic effect, chitosan is currently a widely-used material. The use of chitosan was investigated in different areas related to dentistry. Chitosan is used in the prevention of caries and wear, to inc...
