The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of desensitizing agents on the bond strength of different adhesive systems condition and rinse and self-etching to dentin through microshear. Sixty dentin fragments were used, obtained from the buccal and lingual surfaces of molars third molars, which were distributed in groups (n = 12) according to desensitizing treatment (control no treatment; ...

OBJECTIVE Recently, self-etching fissure sealants have been introduced to reduce technical sensitivity; however, their efficacy should be assessed. The aim of this study was to assess of the microshear bond strength of self-etching and conventional fissure sealants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty non-carious third molars were randomly divided into three groups (N=10). Microcylinders of Concise ...

The aim of this study was to compare the bond strengths of three self-etching materials during one year of storage. Clearfil SE Bond (SE), Clearfil Protect Bond (PB), and Clearfil Tri-S Bond (TS) were used for bonding to dentin and enamel according to manufacturer's instructions. Microshear bond strength values were measured after 24 hours, six months, and one year. Two-way ANOVA showed that th...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of applying 2% chlorhexidine for 30 seconds after phosphoric acid conditioning of dentin on the immediate and long-term bond strengths in deciduous teeth. The occlusal enamel was removed from 40 human sound deciduous molars, which were exfoliated by natural means, and the dentin was conditioned with 37% phosphoric acid for 15 seconds and washe...

PURPOSE THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE THE EFFICIENCY OF ERBIUM, CHROMIUM: Yttrium-Scandium-Gallium-Garnet laser in different output powers for removing permanent resin cement residues and therefore its influence on microshear bond strength compared to other cleaning methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS 90 extracted human molars were sectioned in 1 mm thickness. Resin cement was applied to ...

OBJECTIVES Extensively destroyed teeth are commonly restored with composite resin before cavity preparation for indirect restorations. The longevity of the restoration can be related to the proper bonding of the resin cement to the composite. This study aimed to evaluate the microshear bond strength of two self-adhesive resin cements to composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS COMPOSITE DISCS W...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of etching using 2% proanthocynidin-containing 10% phosphoric acid 2% PA/10% PhA vs. 35% phosphoric acid 35% PhA on immediate (IM) and 6-months (6M) resin-enamel microshear bond strength (μSBS), resin-dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS), nanoleakage (NL) and as well as in situ MMP inhibition potential. METHODS The dentin surface of human were ex...
