The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effect of mechanical and chemical treatments on the shear bond strength (SBS) of metal orthodontic brackets on zirconia restoration. The zirconia specimens were randomly divided into 12 groups (n = 10) according to three factors: AL (Al2O3) and CO (CoJet™) by sandblasting material; SIL (silane), ZPP (Zirconia Prime Plus), and SBU (Single...

This study measured the immediate and 24 h shear (SBS) and micro-shear bond strengths (MSBS) to dentin of four self-etching adhesives. A resin composite was bonded using each adhesive to the area of 5-mm diameter for SBS test or 0.75-mm diameter for MSBS test of flat bovine dentin. The bond strengths of all adhesives at 10 min were lower than at 24 h for both tests. The mean SBS (MPa, 10 min, 2...

Background and Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of repeated bonding by self-etching primers (SEPs) and a conventional phosphoric acid-etchant on shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and enamel morphology at different debonding time points. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 120 premolars were randomly divided into six groups of 20. In the first t...

the purpose of this study was to compare shear bond strength (sbs) of orthodontic brackets bonded to enamel prepared by er:yag laser with two different powers and conventional acid-etching.forty-five human premolars extracted for orthodontic purposes were randomly assigned to three groups based on conditioning method: group 1- conventional etching with 37% phosphoric acid; group 2- irradiation ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine (chx) application on immediate and two-month bond strength of a filled adhesive system. methods: forty eight non-carious human third molars without enamel of occlusal surface were randomly divided into two main groups according to chx application: control and chx. each main group was further subdivided into 2 subgroups depending ...

introduction :the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the in vitro effect of the erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser with different radiation distances and high-speed rotary treatment on the shear bond strength of flowable composite to enamel of human permanent posterior teeth . methods : freshly extracted human molar teeth with no caries or other surface defects were ...

OBJECTIVES 1) to assess different methods of recycling orthodontic brackets, 2) to evaluate Shear Bond Strength (SBS) of (a) new, (b) recycled and (c) repeated recycled stainless steel brackets (i) with and (ii) without bracket base primer. STUDY DESIGN A total of 180 extracted human premolar teeth and 180 premolar stainless steel brackets were used. One hundred teeth and 100 brackets were di...
