Aim: To assess the influence of two adhesive systems on the bond strength of the restorative material to enamel and dentin after bleaching. Materials and method: 60 non-carious extracted premolar teeth after bleaching with 40% Hydrogen peroxide were divided into four groups based on type of adhesive system used and the tooth surface i.e. enamel and dentin used for bonding. G1ET and G3DT were re...

OBJECTIVES Adhesion of resin composites to dentin is currently believed to result from impregnation of adhesive resin into superficially demineralized dentin. The purpose of this study was to use micro-Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the extent of resin penetration into etched dentin with single-step adhesive systems. METHODS Adhesive systems used were...

PURPOSE To evaluate the in vitro microtensile bond strength (microTBS) of etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesive systems to demineralized dentin after the use of a papain-based chemomechanical method. METHODS 36 demineralized human dentin slabs were randomly distributed into two groups according to the method of caries removal: (1). Mechanical removal with manual excavators; (2) Chemomechanica...

STUDY OBJECTIVES In vitro evaluation and comparison of the adhesion of a generation-7 adhesive system to normal and sclerotic dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this study, sound teeth as well as teeth with sclerotic dentin, which had been extracted for periodontal reasons, were prepared. Class 5 cavities were prepared, then restored by means of the SE 1-step Futurabond M (Voco) adhesive syste...

AIM This study evaluated the influence of acid-etching time on collagen exposure in adhesive interfaces established on primary and permanent dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Flat dentin surfaces were produced on sound primary molars and premolars (n = 8). The surfaces were divided into mesial and distal halves, and each half was etched with phosphoric acid for 5 or 15 seconds. The teeth were ran...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been studied extensively, and MMP inhibitors have been used as dental pretreatment agents prior to dentin bonding because they reduce collagen fiber degradation and improve bonding strength. However, morphologic characteristics of the collagen network after etching and of the post-adhesive dentin hybrid layers (DHL) after MMP inhibitors pretreatment have no...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of dentin pretreatment and temperature on the bond strength of a universal adhesive system to dentin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-six extracted non-carious human third molars were randomly divided into 12 groups (n=8) according to Scotchbond Universal Adhesive (SbU) applied in self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) mode, adhesive temperature (20°C or 37°C) a...

the effect of nanoparticle diamond incorporated in an experimental dental adhesive formulation is valuated by examining the mechanical properties and shear bond strength of the system. diamond nanoparticles were incorporated into the dentin adhesive system in different concentrations of 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 weight percentages. the suspensions were ultrasonicated to facilitate the nan...

This study evaluated the influence of a fluoride-containing adhesive on microtensile bond strength (microTBS) to dentin, as well as analyzed the dentin-adhesive interface after acid-base challenge. Experimental groups were: G1--Clearfil SE Bond control (SE); G2--Clearfil Protect Bond control (PB); G3--Primer[SE]/Adhesive[PB]; G4--Primer[PB]/Adhesive[SE]. For microTBS evaluation, dentin surfaces...
