Background and Aim: Preparation of tooth structure by laser systems produces a surface with different characteristics. Therefore, selecting an appropriate bonding system is necessary to achieve the maximum bond strength. The aim of this study was to compare the bond strength of Adper Single Bond 2 adhesive and Single Bond Univer-sal to dentin prepared by bur or laser. Materials and Methods: ...

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 ...

Background: with the advent of new adhesive materials in dentistry, it has become important to measure regional bond strength along the length of the canal of human teeth to assess the bond strength of resin cements to endodontically treated teeth. This study aimed to investigate the effect of post space region (coronal, middle and apical) and the mode of polymerization of the resin cement on t...

background: during endodontic procedures, the smear layer is formed as a result of mechanical instrumentation of the canal. combination of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (edta) and sodium hypochlorite (naocl) is widely used for removal of the smear layer. application of mixture of tetracycline, acid, and detergent (mtad) as final irrigant subsequent to initial irrigation of 1.35% naocl has be...

OBJECTIVES This in-vitro study sought to assess the push-out bond strength of a total etch and 2 self-etch bonding systems to intracanal dentin of primary anterior teeth (PAT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six primary anterior teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 5(th) generation (Single Bond 2), 6(th) generation (Clearfil SE) and 7(th) generation (Single Bond Universal) bonding agent...

background: reduced time and appropriate bond strength of brackets is one of the most important aspects of orthodontic treatments. prolonged halogen light curing for bonding of brackets is undesirable, so the purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of brackets bonded with halogen light and plasma arc system. materials and mehods: this was an experimental in vitro study. a t...

introduction: failures might occur at metal‒porcelain interfaces as a problem with metal‒ceramic restorations even with the application of airborne-particle abrasion technique. this study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of nd:yag laser treatment on the bond strength of porcelain fused to metal. methods:  twenty-four cylindrical specimens (4 mm in diameter and 4 mm in height) were made of ...

Background and aims. Various factors influence the interfacial bond between the fiber posts and root canal dentin. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of pre-warming of resin cement on the push-out bond strength of fiber posts to various segments of root canal dentin. Materials and methods . In this in vitro study, 40 single-rooted human premolars were decoronated and underw...
