مقدمه هدف اصلی از این تحقیق بررسی ریز نشت کامپازیتهای ایده آل ماکو و تتریک فلو با استفاده از دو ماده باندینگ عاجی (SBMP) Scotch Bond Multipurpose و Excite  در مارجینهای اکلوزالی و جینجیوالی بود . مواد و روشها  60 دندان پره مولر به چهار گروه 15 تایی تقسیم شدند. در تمامی دندانها حفرات کلاس V در CEJ تعبیه شد. گروه اول با SBMP و ایده آل ماکو(IS)  ،  گروه دوم با SBMP وتتریک فلو(TS)، گروه سوم با ...

  Background and aims   Dentists are occupationally exposed to elemental mercury from placements of mercury-containing amalgam. Although many studies have been conducted on mercury intoxication, there is still widespread concern about possible ill effects of chronic low-level mercury exposure on dentists. The present study examined the effects of occupational exposure to low levels of mercury b...

Background and Aim: Patients always complain about metallic color of amalgam restorations. Covering amalgam by composite can solve this problem. Since polymerization shrinkage is a serious shortcoming in composites, application of the combined amalgam and composite restoration is one of the methods to reduce leakage in the cervical margins of posterior restorations. The aim of this invitro stud...

Background and Aim: Achieving appropriate seal in canal obturation is the main goal of endodontic therapy. However, in some cases, it can not be obtained by non-surgical procedures alone. Retrograde surgery is one of the most common procedures in endodontics. Apical seal improvement can be obtained by root end filling and decreasing the root end resection angle (bevel angle). The aim of this st...

Background and Aims: The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the shear bond strength of amalgam to dentin using four dentin adhesive systems.Materials and Methods: One hundred human molars were selected. After enamel removal, a dentin cylinder with 3 mm thickness was prepared. Eighty specimens were resorted with amalgam and four dentin adhesive systems as follows (n=20): group 1, Scotch Bo...

One of the major goals of preradicular surgery is to create a good apical seal. This can be done by sectioning approximately one third of the apex, preparation of a class I cavity, and filling with a biocompatible material. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare crack propagation in retro filling with two commercially available amalgams. Thirty-four extracted single rooted teeth were...

 Background and Objective: Microleakage is one of the most important problems in dentistry. Varnish is commonly used to reduce microleakage. Nanotechnology has recently produced cosmetic dental materials with better mechanical properties. The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of dental restorations using traditional varnish and varnish containing nano-silver.  Materials an...
