objectives: this study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (sbs) of composite to stainless steel crowns (ssc) using two mechanical surface treatments (msts) and two bonding systems. materials and methods: eighty-four sscs were divided into six groups of 14; group1: no mst+scotchbond universal adhesive (n+u), group 2: surface roughening by a diamond bur+scotchbond universal adhesive (r+u), ...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the viscous shear heating effect on the formation of minimum film thickness in inlet zone of the hydrostatic extrusion process as function of various operating parameters. Minimum film thicknesses in the inlet zone has been evaluated at various extrusion speeds, material parameters, extrusion pressures, and die semiangle for extrusion of low strengt...

Introduction: In orthodontic treatment, it is essential to establish a satisfactory bond between enamel and bracket. After the self-etch primers (SEPs) were introduced for the facilitation of bracket bonding in comparison to the conventional etch-and-bond system, multiple studies have been carried out on their shear bond strengths which have yielded different results. This study was aimed at co...

OBJECTIVES Bond strength between adhesive systems and the tooth structure is influenced by a large number of variables, which makes the comparison among studies virtually impossible. Also, failure often times propagates into the dental substrate or the composite, deeming the results questionable at best. In spite of the increased popularity gained by micro-tensile and micro-shear tests, in vitr...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of er:yag laser on the shear bond strength of resin modified glass ionomer (rmgi) to enamel.twenty extracted caries-free human premolars were selected. the teeth were embedded in acrylic resin. the buccal surfaces of each sample were ground to plane enamel with carbonated disc. the teeth were randomly divided in two groups. in the first group...
