PURPOSE The objective of this study was to compare the effect of phosphoric acid and a self-etching adhesive on the short and long-term bond strength of a light-curing sealant to unground primary and permanent enamel. METHODS A light-curing resin sealant (Delton Light Curing Pit & Fissure Sealant-CLEAR) was bonded to the flattest, peripheral surface of 40 primary and 40 permanent molars follo...

introduction in this study, we have investigated the effect of using phosphoric acid on bonding efficacy of an all-in-one adhesive system, after salivary contamination of dentin. methods and materials eighty-four extracted human molars were prepared for their superficial dentins to be exposed. the molars separated into 7 groups. group 1 specimens were not contaminated. in groups 2-4, samples we...

Nuclease activity was dissociated from proteolytic activity when Sachs confirmed the observations of Milroy that an agent which attacked nucleic acid to liberate inorganic phosphoric acid could not liquefy gelatin and that proteolytic enzymes liquefied gelatin but could not attack nucleic acid (1). Henceforth the rate of separation of inorganic phosphoric acid from nucleic acid became the exclu...

Food sources,mineral redistribution, and excreta are someof theways ants enrich their mound environment. Phosphorus excretion has not been reported in red imported Þre ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren. QuantiÞcation of phosphoric acid in worker fecal droplets and larval anal liquid of S. invicta was performed. Phosphoric acid was trimethylsilylated using N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trißuoroacetamide, ...

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...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate micro-shear bond strength and morphological analysis of a self-etching primer adhesive system to fluorosed enamel. MATERIALS AND METHODS Extracted human molars were classified according to the severity of fluorosis using Thylstrup and Fejerskov index into four groups (TFI: 0, normal; 1-3, mild fluorosis; 3-6, moderate fluorosis; 6-7, severe fluoro...
