The in vitro dentin permeability of the constituents of two types of conventional phosphoric acid etching agents which had different viscosities, and their pH changes after being permeated dentin were investigated. It was recognized that, even though the etching was for a short time (one minute) followed by rinsing, the etching agents were still detected in the dentinal tubules which had permea...

The study is about evaluating the effects of three remineralising agents i.e. Casein Phosphopeptide - Amorphous Calcium Phosphate [CPP-ACP], Sodium fluoride varnish and Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on dentin. objective this to see which have a better effect In study, thirty freshly extracted human central incisors are selected with exposed labial surfaces each tooth divided into four quadrants tr...

BACKGROUND Newer dentin bonding agents were developed to improve the quality of composite restoration and to reduce time consumption in its application. The aim of the present study was to evaluate tensile bond strength of 6(th), 7(th) and 8(th) generation bonding agents by in vitro method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Selected 60 permanent teeth were assigned into 20 in each group (Group I: 6(th) g...

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 ...
