OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of dentin deproteinization on the nanoleakage phenomenon. MATERIAL AND METHODS Class V cavities were prepared in 12 human molars with cervical margins located in dentin. The cavities were assigned to 2 groups (n=6) according to dentin treatment: Group I - dentin treated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and Gro...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the DIAGNOdent values applicable as a guide for removal of outer layer of carious dentin with Er:YAG laser. METHODS Carious dentin of human extracted molars was removed by bur with Caries Detector (Group 1: red stained dentin was left, Group 2: light pink stained dentin was left) and by Er:YAG laser with DIAGNOdent value as a guide (30>G...

The shear bond strengths of 2 dentin bonding techniques were tested on primary and permanent teeth. No significant differences were noted between the mean bond strengths for primary and permanent teeth or between the Scotchbond® Dental Adhesive System and a method utilizing ferric oxalate, NTG-GMA, and PMDM. Microscopic examination revealed that the majority of bond failures occurred at the den...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin on superficial and deep dentin after conditioning with phosphoric acid and erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser. methods: thirty human molars were selected, roots were removed and crowns were bisected to provide a total of 60 half-crowns. specimens were ground to expose superficial...

Objectives: To evaluate in vitro, the effect of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) pretreatment on microleakage and shear bond strength resin-modified glass ionomer cement to primary dentin. Materials methods: A total 80 extracted sound molars were included this in-vitro study randomly assigned into four equal groups (n=20 teeth/group) according evaluation test performed. For test, class V cavit...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this article is to review evidence-based principles that could help optimize dentin bonding for indirect composite and porcelain restorations. More than 30 articles were reviewed, most of them addressing the specific situation of dentin bonding for indirect restorations. It appears that the combined results of this data plus clinical experience suggest the need for a r...

We sought to evaluate immediate and delayed micro-tensile bond strength of Panavia F2.0 and Multilink Sprint resin cement to superficial, deep and cervical dentin. Thirty-six freshly extracted non-carious human molars were sectioned in the mesiodistal direction to expose three different dentin regions including superficial dentin (1 mm below the dentine-enamel junction), deep dentin (1 mm above...

Dentin reactions to caries, crucial for pathogenesis and for the determination of the severity of caries lesions, are believed to be reasonably detected by stereomicroscopy (SM) and polarized light microscopy in quinoline (PLMQ), but accuracies are not available. Here, stereomicroscopy of wet (SW) and dry (SD) ground sections of natural occlusal caries lesions resulted in moderate (0.7, for nor...

introduction: the purpose of a desensitizing agent is a permanent coating or filling of dentin surface. morphological analysis in vitro of this treated surface is essential to understand the interaction between desensitizing agent and hypersensitive dentin. the aim was to evaluate the morphology of four dentin surface treated with desensitizing agents. methods: this was an in vitro laboratory s...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of nanocomposite resin to superficial dentin and deep dentin using two different dentin bonding systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS All teeth were sectioned at various levels (superficial dentin: Dentin within 0.5-1 mm of dentinoenamel junction; deep dentin: Dentin within 0.5 mm of the highest pulp horn) using a Carborundu...
