One of the most important goals of the restoration of endodontically treated teeth with a composite resin post system is to achieve good adaptation of the composite material to dentin walls to prevent microleakage apically and coronally. In post core systems, to avoid microleakage between the dentin wall and resin material, laser irradiation may seem to be an alternative therapy for increasing ...

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...

1. The following dental cements are listed in order of decreasing mean bonding strenghts on varnish-free dentin: polycarboxylate, zinc phosphate, EBA, Fynal, and CBA. 2. The application of either Copalite or Varnal decreased the dentinal bonding strength of polycarboxylate and zinc phosphate cements. There was no change for CBA cement. 3. The application of Copalite and Varnal increased the den...

OBJECTIVES Different surface treatments may affect bonding performance of adhesive systems to dentin. This study evaluated the influence of different methods of surface treatment on adhesion of bonding agents to dentin. METHODS Dentin surfaces abraded with #600-grit SiC paper were used as control. Three methods of surface treatment (sono-abrasion, air-abrasion and Er:YAG laser irradiation) we...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the bonding performance of a new auto-adhesive cement (RelyX Unicem, 3M ESPE) to enamel and dentin, using a standard micro-tensile bond strength (microTBS) test set-up, and (2) to evaluate the interaction of this material with dentin by means of high-resolution electron microscopy. METHODS The microTBS of RelyX Unicem with and without...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of concepsis (a chlorhexidine gluconate based cavity disinfectant) application on composite restorations micro leakage, using two adhesive systems: excite and adhese. materials and methods: in this interventional experimental study, class v cavities were prepared on buccal surfaces of seventy-two extracted bovine incisors. the specimen...

objective: this study evaluated the effect of saliva contamination during bonding procedures without removing saliva on shear dentin bond strength of three adhesive generations when rubber dam isolation is not feasible. materials and methods: flat superficial dentin surfaces of seventy-two extracted human molars were randomly divided into three groups (a: scotch bond mp plus (sbmp), b: single b...

objective: preservation of unsupported occlusal enamel after removal of underlying carious dentin may result in maintenance of aesthetics as well as wear resistance against the opposing enamel. this study investigates the influence of different restorative materials and bonding agents on reinforcement of unsupported enamel in molars and compares it with sound dentin. materials and methods: in t...

dentin bonding agents (dba) have been used as root-end filling materials. present study evaluated the effects of polymerized dba on secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by normal human monocytes. in this study, monocytes were directly isolated from human peripheral blood, and exposed to cured scotch bond 1 (single bond) and prime and bond for 36 and 72 hours. secretion of il-1β and tnf-α in ...
