Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate marginal sealing ability of newly introduced Dyad Flow flowable composite and compare to total-etch and self-etch adhesive system at the coronal and apical margins of class V resin composite restorations. Material and Methods A standard class V cavity (3 mm mesiodistal width, 3 mm occlusogingival height and 1.5 mm axial depth) was prepared on t...

OBJECTIVES To examine the effects of dental fluorosis and total and self-etch bonding systems on microleakage of Class-V composite restorations in permanent molar teeth. METHODS Teeth were classified as three main groups according to Thylstrup-Fejerskov Index (TFI) as TFI=0, TFI=1-3 and TFI=4. Total and self-etching/bonding procedures were determined for each main group. Total-etching procedu...

AIM – The aim of this study was to evaluate marginal sealing ability of newly introduced Dyad Flow with total etch & self-etch adhesive system at the coronal and apical margins of class V resin composite restorations. MethodsA standard class V cavity (3 mm mesiodistal width, 3 mm occlusogingival height, and 1.5 mm axial depth) was prepared on the buccal surface of freshly extracted sound human ...

OBJECTIVE To compare postoperative sensitivity following composite restoration placed in supra gingival class-V cavities using self etch adhesive and total etch adhesive. STUDY DESIGN A randomized clinical trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Operative Dentistry Department of Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, from July to December 2009. METHODOLOGY A total of 70 patients havi...

This study compared the shear bond strength (SBS) to enamel of five self-etching primer/adhesive systems and one total-etch, one-bottle adhesive system. Sixty freshly extracted bovine incisors were mounted, polished to 600-grit and randomly assigned to six groups (n=10): Adper Prompt Self-Etch (AD), OptiBond Solo Plus Self-Etch (OP), AdheSE (AS), Tyrian (TY) and Clearfil SE Bond (SE) as self-et...

statement of problem: despite the increasing demand for tooth-colored restorations in dentistry, polymerization shrinkage and marginal microleakage still remains a problem. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate microleakage in three different resin composites, p90, z250 and z250 xt, in class v cavity of permanent human premolars. materials and methods: standardized class ...

Introdouction: Esthetic demands of patients have led to the introduction of tooth-colored restorations wherecomposite resins are bonded to the enamel using acid etch techniques. Total etch adhesion systems are still considered as the gold standard among bonding systems. However, clinicians have a tendency to use adhesive systems with simpler application procedures. The aim of the present stu...

background and aims. effect of surface treatments on repair bond strength of aged composite resins might be different due to their dissimilar fillers. the aim was to evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on repair micro-shear bond strength (µsbs) of silica- (spectrum tph) and zirconia-filled (filtek z250) composite resins. materials and methods. twenty-seven composite resin blocks...
