The underlying causes of denture stomatitis may be related to the long-term use of adhesives, which may predispose individuals to oral candidiasis. In this study, we hypothesize that antimicrobial peptides and antifungal antibiotics have diminished anti-Candida activities in denture adhesive. To show this, nine antimicrobial peptides and five antifungal antibiotics with and without 1.0% denture...

The objective this study was to evaluate in vitro the bond strength of two etch-and-rise and one self-etching adhesive system after dentin irradiation with Er:YAG (erbium: yttrium aluminum garnet) laser using microtensile test. The results revealed that the groups treated with laser Er:YAG presented less tensile bond strength, independently to the adhesive system used. The prompt L-pop adhesive...

Background: Adhesive procedures have become an integral part of today’s restorative dental procedures. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of contaminants such as saliva, blood, and hemostatic agents on the shear bond strength of a self-etch adhesive system Clearfil SE Bond, one-step, self-etch adhesive system AdperTM Easy One and a total-etch adhesive system AdperTM Single Bond 2...

background. hemostatic agents are applied to prepare an isolated bleeding-free condition during dental treatments and can influence adhesive restorations. this study evaluated the effect of a hemostatic agent (viscostat) on microleakage of contaminated dentinal margin of class v composite resin restorations with three adhesives. methods. sixty freshly extracted human molars were selected and cl...

background and aims. adhesive permeability is hindered by application of an additional layer of hydrophobic resin, which increases its concentration within the hydrophilic layer, reduces its affinity to water, and enhances its physical properties. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a hydrophobic layer on the microleakage of class v composite restorations using different ...

background: many of the problems and composite filling failures are due to dentists' inadequate and passing acquaintance with bonding principles. the aim of this study is to assess dentists' acquaintance with the bonding principles and different adhesive application that are going to be used in educational programs. methods: in this descriptive and cross-sectional study, a valid and r...

background: the clinical success of sandwich technique depends on the strength of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (rmgic) bonding to both dentin and resin composite. therefore, the shear bond strength (sbs) of resin composite bonded to rmgic utilizing different resin adhesives versus a gic-based adhesive was compared. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 84 holes (5×2 mm) were pre...
