Background: Resin cements are widely used for cementation of FRC posts, but their bond strength can be influenced by cement type and cementation technique. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of type of resin cement and cementation technique on the bond strength of fiber posts. Methods: Forty five extracted mandibular premolars with a minimum roo...

o bjectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of salivary ph on the shear bond strength (sbs) of orthodontic brackets to tooth surface. materials and methods: eighty intact premolars were randomly divided into four groups of 20.  after bonding a bracket on each tooth, the groups one to four were stored in artificial saliva at a ph of 3.8, 4.8, 5.8, and 6.8, respectively for ...

objective: a clinical challenge of using zirconia frameworks is to achieve adequate bond with different substrates. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of bioglass and silica coating of zirconia substrates on microshear bond strength of resin cement to tetragonal zirconia. methods: this laboratory experimental study was conducted on zirconia discs. a total of 120 ytzp zirconia (zirkonzahn) ...

introduction: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of pretreatment with a neutral fluoride agent on shear bond strength (sbs) and microleakage of orthodontic brackets, and to investigate any significant relationship between sbs and microleakage. methods: forty intact premolars were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups. group 1 served as the control, while group 2 underwent treatment w...

introduction a large number of orthodontists prefer to rebond the failed bonded brackets or use recycled brackets in some instances. the aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of rebonding with using recycled brackets on enamel surface. methods bonding of brackets on the surface of extracted first bicuspids was tested in five different groups to compare their shear bond streng...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of an in vitro challenge (NaOCl immersion) on microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of five adhesive systems to dentin. METHODS Flat dentin surfaces from 40 molars were bonded with three total-etch adhesives (Single Bond, Prime&Bond NT and the experimental Prime&Bond XP), and two self-etching agents (Clearfil SE Bond and Etch&Prime 3.0). Composite build-ups were c...

background: as the use of different irrigants to eliminate residual debris and smear layer in the field of endodontic is unavoidable, by considering the effect of irrigants on the bond strength of resin composite restorations, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of a mixture of a tetracycline isomer, an acid, and a detergent (mtad) on the shear bond strength of two self-etch adhesive...

In this work, the strength of cold roll bond of the commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) sheet and the effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on bond strength was investigated. Through the accumulative roll bonding process, which is considered among the important severe plastic deformation processes, the creation of suitable bonds plays a significance role in the ultimate strength of the bond. Thus, resear...

Background and Aim: Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation has been suggested as an effective method of cavity preparation and surface treatment to enhance the bond strength. The aim of this study was to assess the microshear bond strength of Fuji II LC glass ionomer (GI) cement to primary dentin following bur preparation and Er,Cr:YSGG irradiation. Materials and Methods: This in vitro, experimental stu...
