This study evaluated the influence of the prolonged setting time of an ethanol-based adhesive system on the dentin bond strength and degree of conversion. Labial and lingual surfaces of fifteen human third molars were flattened until the dentin was exposed and randomly allocated to 3 groups (n = 10), according to the dwell time between the application of two consecutive layers of the adhesive s...

to evaluate the effect of different light intensities on the degree of conversion (dc) of dual-cured resin cement at different depths of translucent fiber posts.thirty translucent fiber posts were randomly assigned into three (n=10) groups. they were cemented in the simulated canal spaces using duo-link dual-cured resin cement. the cement was light-cured under 600, 800 and 1100 mw/cm(2) light i...

Purpose To evaluate the degree of conversion (DoC) self-adhesive resin luting cements when irradiated through different fiber post lengths. Methods A total 60 teeth were sectioned to achieve lengths 4 mm, 7 and 10 while posts trimmed give 3 6 9 mm Post space was created accommodate 1 cement apically. Two (Multilink Speed RelyX U200) used. four cycles 20 s irradiation done with an attenuated ref...
