Background. This study was undertaken to evaluate the repair bond strength of lithium disilicate glass ceramic to a siloranebased composite resin after surface preparation with Nd:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers. Methods. A total of 102 lithium disilicate glass ceramic samples (IPS e.max Press), measuring 5 mm in diameter and 4 mm in thickness, were randomly assigned to 6 groups (n=17): group 1, no s...

statement of problem: microleakage is one of the most important problems in composite restorations. one way to reduce the microleakage is decreasing the total amount of resin by insertion of fibers in composite restorations. objectives: this study aimed to compare the microleakage of silorane and methacrylate-based composites (a nanohybrid) in class ii restorations with gingival margins on the ...

background and aims. a proper bond must be created between the existing composite resin and the new one for successful repair. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of three mechanical surface treatments, using diamond bur, air abrasion, and er,cr:ysgg laser, on the repair bond strength of the silorane-based composite resin. materials and methods. sixty cylindrical composite resin spe...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Enamel and dentin marginal sealing ability of the new adhesive materials could play an important role in successful restoration on fluorosed teeth. PURPOSE The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the marginal microleakage of low-shrinkage silorane-based composite, nano-ionomer, and methacrylate-based composite through self-etching approach or with enamel acid e...

Objective. This study evaluated temperature rise of low-shrinkage (LS) self-etch primer (P), LS self-etch adhesive (A), and P90 silorane-based composite resin systems, photopolymerized under normal and artificially demineralized dentin. Methods. Forty 1.5 mm-thick dentin discs were prepared from sound human molars, half of which were demineralized. Temperature rise was measured during photopoly...

Background. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a material that has recently gained popularity in the application of the vital pulp therapy. Along with the increasing use of MTA to this end, the permanent restoration material to be placed on MTA has become a significant issue. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the bond strength of the novel low-shrinkage silorane-based composite...

the aim of this study was to assess the effect of 30% hydrogen peroxide on the microleakage of class v cavities restored with either a silorane-based composite or two methacrylate-based composites.a total of 96 standard class v cavities (1.5 × 2 × 3 mm) were prepared on the buccal surface of sound extracted human premolars with both enamel and dentin margins and randomly assigned into three gro...

Purpose: Evaluating effects of Nd:YAG-laser, Er:YAG-laser, chlorhexidine and ozonated water application which is used for purpose antibacterial effects, on repair bond strength silorane based composite. Materials Methods: 100 cavities (2 mm deep, 3 diameter) prepared in acrylic blocks were filled with composite subjected thermal cycle divided into 5 groups (N=20). Group 1:Chlorhexidine; 2:Ozona...
