linical prosthodontics has focused on approaches to improving retention and stability of dentures. In addition to proper fabrication, those approaches have included the use of denture adhesives, retention of a limited number of teeth for overdentures and placement of implants, with the fixtures serving to anchor the prosthesis. In addition, many denture wearers utilize denture adhesives as an o...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of water storage on micro tensile strength (µTS) and mass changes (MC) of two universal adhesives. MATERIAL AND METHODS 10 disk-shaped specimens were prepared for each adhesive; Scotchbond Universal (SCU) All-Bond Universal (ABU) and Adper Single Bond 2 (SB2). At the baseline and after 1 day and 28 days of water storage, th...

With the arrival of self-etch adhesives systems, there has been a rise in interest among clinicians, making it imperative for health professionals to have knowledge of the properties, characteristics, the association as well as the dental structures of these materials, in order to select them and use them correctly. The self-etch adhesive systems show good values of bond strength, microleakage ...

Contemporary medical and dental adhesives often have difficulty sticking to wet surfaces or weaken with long-term exposure to water. Substantial research has been dedicated to finding a means of achieving adhesion in an aqueous environment. A study evaluates the adsorption of catechol relative to other chemical groups as means of gauging how effective they may be as adsorptive groups in adhesiv...

OBJECTIVES This study was attempted to incorporate an antibacterial monomer, methacryloxylethyl cetyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DMAE-CB), into a commercial dental adhesive and to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the DMAE-CB-incorporated adhesive after being cured against Streptococcus mutans. METHODS DMAE-CB was incorporated at 3% (w/v) into a clinically used dental adhesive, Single B...

the incorporation of boehmite nano-particles and its effects on the mechanical properties and bond strength of an experimental dental adhesive were studied.an adhesive solution containing ethanol, bis-gma, tmptma, hema and photo-initiator system (camphorquinone and dmaema) was prepared. silanized boehmite nano-particles were incorporated into the adhesive in different concentrations of 0, 0.2, ...

background: the clinical success of sandwich technique depends on the strength of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (rmgic) bonding to both dentin and resin composite. therefore, the shear bond strength (sbs) of resin composite bonded to rmgic utilizing different resin adhesives versus a gic-based adhesive was compared. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 84 holes (5×2 mm) were pre...

BACKGROUND To evaluate, in vitro, the potential cytotoxicity of three different dental adhesives systems (Adper Single Bond 2 -SB, Silorane System Adhesive Bond -SSAB and Single Bond Universal -SBU) on cultivated Vero cells after different contact times. MATERIAL AND METHODS The cells were cultured in a concentration of 2 x 105 cells/mL for 24h and grown to sub-confluent monolayers. VERO cell...
