introduction: this study investigated the sealing ability of three different adhesives in primary bovine teeth. methods: facial and lingual class v cavities were prepared half in enamel and half in cementum, in 48 bovine primary mandibular incisors and randomly divided into three groups and each group divided to two subgroups. the tested adhesives were xpbond (xp), clearfils3 bond (s3), and xen...

introduction: retention of fiber reinforced composite posts depends on the bond strength between post and cement, and cement and root dentin. the aim of this study is to evaluate the bond strength of one type of fiber post to radicular dentin with different adhesive cements. materials and methods: crowns of 44 caries-free, human premolar were removed 2 mm below the cej and the roots were endodo...

We have investigated the effectiveness and safety of a newly developed biological adhesive for repair of meniscal tear. The adhesive was composed of disuccinimidyl tartrate (DST) as a crosslinker and human serum albumin (HSA) as a hardener. To determine adequate concentration, bonding strength was measured using a tensiometer 5 min after applying the adhesive on the avascular zone tear of porci...

the effect of nanoparticle diamond incorporated in an experimental dental adhesive formulation is valuated by examining the mechanical properties and shear bond strength of the system. diamond nanoparticles were incorporated into the dentin adhesive system in different concentrations of 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 weight percentages. the suspensions were ultrasonicated to facilitate the nan...

Culture-independent methods, employed to study the diversity and complexity of microbial communities that are based on amplification of rRNA genes with universal primers, include gradient gel electrophoresis (denaturing or temperature), single-strand-conformation polymorphism, restriction fragment length polymorphism, qPCR and highthroughput DNA sequencing. Substituting one or more base(s) with...

background: at the end of fi xed orthodontic treatment, the remnant of adhesive should be eliminated from the tooth surface. the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of three methods of removing adhesive on enamel surface roughness, dental pulp t emperature, and also on the time spent. materials and methods: the brackets on 90 extracted teeth were debonded using bracket removal plier...

Background and Aim: Fractured metal-ceramic restorations may be repaired with composite in some cases to postpone the fabrication of a new restoration. Knowledge about the bond strength can help predict the success rate of this treatment modality. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of two types of mechanical surface treatment of metal along with the use of different adhesive systems...

Adhesive bonding for industrial purposes has, over the last years, become more important compared to conventional joining methods, due to application in miniaturized systems where other ways of joining are too bulky. These days’ industries have to deal with the challenge of applying adhesive bonds with small tolerances, while the geometrical dimensions of the applied adhesives change due to the...

In this paper dynamic damping properties of a nominated flexible structural adhesive have been identified using an extended-direct modal based joint identification method. It has been revealed that damping characteristics of adhesive are correlated to both frequency and mode shape. Young’s and shear moduli increase with frequency but damping on the other hand, decrease. The results showed that ...
