Our experiment evaluated the microleakage in resin composite restorations bonded to dental tissues with different adhesive systems. 40 class V cavities were prepared on the facial and lingual surfaces of each tooth with coronal margins in enamel and apical margins in cementum (root dentin). The teeth were restored with Z100 resin composite bonded with different adhesive systems: Scotchbond Mult...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The microbial flora of the oral cavity is extremely diverse. Residual bacteria in the oral cavity may remain at the tooth restoration interface and increase the risk of developing recurrent caries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immediate and long term antibacterial effect of polymerised self etching adhesive systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Streptococcus mut...

Puoci (ed.), Advanced Polymers in Medicine, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-12478-0_9 Abstract Polymers represent the foundation of modern restorative Dentistry. The majority of dental procedures currently utilized in clinical dentistry depend on the close interaction of polymeric materials with dental tissues. In fact, the dental matrix itself is l...

background: antioxidizing agents have recently been suggested to compensate decreased bond strength of resin materials to bleached tooth tissues. this study compared the shear bond strength (sbs) of three different adhesives on bleached dentin immediately after bleaching, bleached/delayed for 1 week, and bleached/applied antioxidizing agent. materials and methods: the dentinal surfaces of 132 i...

OBJECTIVES To morphologically evaluate the permeability of different commercial dental adhesives using scanning electron microscopy. METHODS SEVEN ADHESIVE SYSTEMS WERE EVALUATED: one three-step system (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose - MP); one two-step self-etching primer system (Clearfil SE Bond - SE); three two-step etch-and-rinse systems (Single Bond 2 - SB; Excite - EX; One-Step - OS); and two...

This study compared fluoride release from three fluoride-releasing dental adhesives (Trial KBF Bond, One-up Bond F, Reactmer Bond) and one conventional dental adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond) for 70 days in vitro. From each material, five disk-shaped specimens (diameter: 9.0 mm, height: 1.5 mm) were prepared and immersed in 5 ml of 10 mM phosphate buffered solution (pH 7.0). After 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 2...
