Dental adhesive systems used for bonding dental resins to enamel and dentin have evolved through several "generations," with changes in chemistry, mechanism, number of bottles, application technique, and clinical effectiveness. The trend in the latest generation of dental bonding systems is to reduce the number of components and clinical placement steps. The introduction of i bond, a single-bot...

The present study was undertaken for assessing the impact of desensitizing agents on retention crowns cemented with luting agents. 40 freshly extracted mandibular molar teeth were selected. Two groups made: Group C: Control group-Glass ionomer cement; and G: Study group-GC Tooth Mousse desensitizer. Crowns fabricated subjected under universal force testing machine. All results recorded in Micro...

Immediate Dentin Sealing or pre-hybridization implies the application of resin adhesive to freshly cut dentin after teeth preparation, before impression. has been suggested as an alternative delayed sealing (DDS), a technique in which is applied just final bonding indirect restorations. universal i.e used inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns and well documented clinically experimentally. Various typ...

Molecular biology is providing opportunities to develop new strategies or agents for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. The availability of large amounts of highly purified proteins produced by recombinant DNA techniques is an obvious example. Recent evidence has implicated proteins belonging to the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) subgroup of the transforming growth factor beta super...

Purpose: Routine tooth polishing continues to be an integral part of clinical practice even though the concept of selective polishing was introduced in the 1980s. This procedure assists in the removal of stains and plaque biofilm and provides a method for applying various medicaments to the teeth, such as desensitizing agents. Use of traditional polishing methods, i.e. a rubber–cup with prophyl...

Objectives. To examine the effect of immediate dentin sealing (IDS), with dentin bonding agents (DBAs) applied to freshly cut dentin, on the shear bond strength of etched pressed ceramic luted to dentin with RelyX Unicem (RXU) cement. Method. Eighty extracted noncarious third molars were ground flat to expose the occlusal dentin surfaces. The teeth were randomly allocated to five groups (A to E...
