objective: this study evaluated the effect of saliva contamination during bonding procedures without removing saliva on shear dentin bond strength of three adhesive generations when rubber dam isolation is not feasible. materials and methods: flat superficial dentin surfaces of seventy-two extracted human molars were randomly divided into three groups (a: scotch bond mp plus (sbmp), b: single b...

Purpose This study evaluated the effects of different adhesive systems on repair bond strength of aged resin composites. Materials and Methods Ninety composite discs were built and half of them were subjected to thermal aging. Aged and non-aged specimens were repaired with resin composite using three different adhesive systems; a two-step self-etch adhesive, a two-step total-etch adhesive and...

Aim: To assess the influence of two adhesive systems on the bond strength of the restorative material to enamel and dentin after bleaching. Materials and method: 60 non-carious extracted premolar teeth after bleaching with 40% Hydrogen peroxide were divided into four groups based on type of adhesive system used and the tooth surface i.e. enamel and dentin used for bonding. G1ET and G3DT were re...

background: the aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of four one-step self-etch adhesives with different ph values to enamel and dentin. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 200 bovine permanent mandibular incisors were used. four one-step self-etch adhesives with different ph values were tested both on enamel and on dentin: adper™ easy bond self-etch adhesive (ph ...

   The objective of the present investigation was to develop and evaluate a contraceptive vagino-adhesive propranolol hydrochloride gel. To achieve this, various mucoadhesive polymers including guar gum (1-4% w/w), sodium alginate (4-7% w/w), xanthan gum (2-5% w/w ), HPMC 4000 (3-5% w/w), Na CMC (4-7% w/w), carbomer 934 and carbomer 940 both in the range of 0.5-2.0% w/w, were dispersed in an aq...

objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of phosphoric acid re-etching of an enamel surface treated via a one-bottle adhesive system on shear bond strength between resin composite and the enamelsurface in different stages of adhesive application. materials and methods: extracted intact premolars (n=84) were divided into sevengroups (n=12). in the control group 1, the adhes...

The go~l of this project has be~n to discover techniques for predicting the strength of a metal-tometal adhes1ve bond from nondestruct1ye me1surements on the completed structure. Both the cohesive strength of the adhesive material itself and the adhesive strength of the metal-to-adhesive interface must be determined separately. In previous phases of the program, it w~s demonstrated that the Fou...

This paper discusses the static and fatigue behavior of adhesively bonded single lap joints in SMC-SMC composites. Effects of lap length and adhesive thickness on the static and fatigue strength of SMC-SMC adhesive joints are studied. Effects of SMC surface preparation and test speed on the joint performance are evaluated. Finally, the effect of water exposure on the joint durability is also in...
