This study determined the shear bond strength of resin composites to primary dentin using three dentin adhesives and the presence or absence of a hybrid zone. The buccal and lingual surfaces of 40 recently extracted noncarious primary teeth were ground flat with SiC paper ending with the 600 grit. The teeth were divided at randomly into eight groups of five teeth (10 surfaces) each: 1) Unetched...

background dentin sensitivity is one of the most important problems in dentistry. enamel loss due to root exposure is serious issue and common exposure is one of the reasons for dentin hypersensitivity. there are different methods for solving this problem. one of the most conservative and least expensive methods is use of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (cpp-acp) paste. object...

The relatlon between the bonding eMcacy ef the dentin adhesive and the physical change of the dentin after treatment with various dentin cleansers was investigated, The dentin surface was cleaned with one of the seven experimental dentin cleansers, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40% of the phosphoric acid, neutralized O,5M EDTA solution (pH7.4) and 9.1% pyruvic acid containing 9,1% glycin, prior to the comb...

The mechanical properties of enamel and dentin were studied using test specimens having the same shape and dimensions because these properties might vary with the experimental conditions and specimen shapes and dimensions. Healthy human teeth were used as specimens for mechanical tests. The stress (MPa), strain (%), and elastic modulus (E, MPa) of the specimens were obtained from compression te...

Background: Dentin sensitivity is one of the most important problems in dentistry. Enamel loss due to root exposure is serious issue and common exposure is one of the reasons for dentin hypersensitivity. There are different methods for solving this problem. One of the most conservative and least expensive methods is use of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste. Objec...

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that both human and bovine sclerotic dentin have similar hardness properties, in addition to similar micromorphological characteristics. Sixteen teeth (8 human and 8 bovine) exhibiting exposed dentin in the incisal edge and showing characteristics typical of sclerosis were used. Vickers surface microhardness testing was conducted. Three areas...

PURPOSE This study compared the dentin collagen cross-linking potential of carbodiimide (EDC) prepared in three most commonly used solvents in dental adhesive systems: water, ethanol, and acetone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight extracted caries-free human permanent molars were used in this study. Demineralized dentin beams were prepared and cross linked by 0.3 M EDC in water, acetone, or ...

To evaluate the effect of a dentin adhesive on sclerotie dentin, contraetion gap width and shear bond strength were measured, Dent{n cavity wall was pretreated with an experimental dentin bonding system w{th and without a dentin primer, or with a commercial dentin bonding system. In the experimental dentin bonding groups, contraction gap width of sclerotic dentin was signifieantly smaller than ...
