PURPOSE This study tested the hypothesis that the hydration condition of the tooth during bonding or storage may affect the bond strength of a single-step, self-etching adhesive to dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve extracted human third molars were transversally sectioned to expose flat, mid-dentin surfaces. Six teeth were dehydrated in ascending ethanol concentrations for several days whi...

The aim of this study was evaluated, in vitro, the tensile bond strength to dentin Single Bond (3M) adhesive system applied over surfaces treated with hith-speed handpiece, Er.YAG laser or air abrasion. Thity four enclosed molars extracted due therapeutic indication had been used. teeth sectioned on mesial-distal sense. dental portions included a selfcured acrilic resin and so fourty five sampl...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tri-antibiotic paste (TAP) on microtensile bond strengths (MTBS) of dental adhesives to dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty extracted molars had their occlusal surfaces flattened to expose dentin. They were divided into two groups, i.e., control group with no dentin treatment and experimental group with dentin treatment with TAP....

OBJECTIVES Adhesion of resin composites to dentin is currently believed to result from impregnation of adhesive resin into superficially demineralized dentin. The purpose of this study was to use micro-Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the extent of resin penetration into etched dentin with single-step adhesive systems. METHODS Adhesive systems used were...

The study verified the bond strength in simulated dental restorations of silorane- or methacrylate-based composites repaired with methacrylate-based composite. Methacrylate- (P60) or silorane-based (P90) composites were used associated with adhesive (Adper Single Bond 2). Twenty-four hemi-hourglass-shaped samples were repaired with each composite (n=12). Samples were divided according to groups...

The aim of this study was evaluate in vitro the influence of simplified adhesive systems (etch-and-rinse and self-etching) and 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) on the microshear bond strength (μ-SBS) of composite resins on primary molars and incisors. Forty primary molars and forty incisors vestibular enamel was treated with either the self-etching Clearfil SE Bond (CSE, Kuraray) or et...

Background and Aim: Fractured metal-ceramic restorations may be repaired with composite in some cases to postpone the fabrication of a new restoration. Knowledge about the bond strength can help predict the success rate of this treatment modality. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of two types of mechanical surface treatment of metal along with the use of different adhesive systems...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of desensitizing agents on the bond strength of different adhesive systems condition and rinse and self-etching to dentin through microshear. Sixty dentin fragments were used, obtained from the buccal and lingual surfaces of molars third molars, which were distributed in groups (n = 12) according to desensitizing treatment (control no treatment; ...

Bond strengths of bonded composite resins to tooth substrates vary depending on when they were measured. Most bond strengths reported in the literature are a result of one hour, 24-hour, or longer periods of time that do not simulate actual clinical practice when occlusal adjustment and finishing and polishing procedures are performed within seconds after restoration placement. There are many d...
