The adhesive monomer, Clearfil New Bond, was used to enhance the bond strength between orthodontic brackets and primary molars, premolars, and NiCr crowns. Twenty specimens of each had this dental adhesive applied according to the manufacturer's instructions in addition to a chemically cured composite material. The remaining specimens (20 each) were bonded without the adhesive monomer. Shear bo...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the (1) bond strength of a etch-and-rinse and self-etching adhesive systems to cavosurface enamel, (2) influence of the previous acid etching with phosphoric acid 35% to the self-etching adhesive application on bond strength values, and (3) analysis of the cavosurface enamel morphology submitted to different types of conditioning, with the use of...

Adhesive bonding technology is being used in a variety of modern industries, including the automotive, aerospace, maritime, construction, defense and so on. On the other side, polymeric nano - composites attracted both academic and industrial interests in the past decades. The scope of this paper is experimental investigation on the effects of the addition of Alpha-alumina nanoparticles to the ...

BACKGROUND To assess the immediate bond strength of a dual-cure adhesive resin cement to the hybridized dentin with different bonding systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-six healthy human molars were randomly divided into 7 groups (n=8). After 3 longitudinal sections, the central cuts were included in PVC matrix and were submitted to dentin hybridization according to the groups: G1 - etch & r...

Cell adhesion, which is mediated by the receptor-ligand bonds, plays an essential role in various biological processes. Previous studies often described the force-extension relationship of receptor-ligand bond with linear assumption. However, the force-extension relationship of the bond is intrinsically nonlinear, which should have significant influence on the mechanical behavior of cell adhesi...

OBJECTIVES Extensively destroyed teeth are commonly restored with composite resin before cavity preparation for indirect restorations. The longevity of the restoration can be related to the proper bonding of the resin cement to the composite. This study aimed to evaluate the microshear bond strength of two self-adhesive resin cements to composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS COMPOSITE DISCS W...

The effects of different bonding parameters, such as temperature, pressure, curing time, bonding temperature ramp and post-processing, on the electrical performance and the adhesive strengths of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) interconnection are investigated. The test results show that the contact resistances change slightly, but the adhesive strengths increase with the bonding temperature i...
