the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine (chx) application on immediate and two-month bond strength of a filled adhesive system. methods: forty eight non-carious human third molars without enamel of occlusal surface were randomly divided into two main groups according to chx application: control and chx. each main group was further subdivided into 2 subgroups depending ...

Wood-plastic composites (WPC) have been developed into new and important wood-based composites because of their benefits for the environment, economy, and recyclability. When combined with structural adhesives, WPCs will have a greatly broadened application in the construction field. In this work, epoxy resin and acrylic ester were used to bond WPC adhesive joints. The shear strength of the adh...

Adhesive resins for precious metals were prepared by adding an adhesion promoting monomer to MMA-PMMA/TBBO resin. Precious metal alloys bonded by the adhesive resin were thermocycled 0, 1,000, 2,000, or 4,000 times in water between 4 and 60 degrees C, and tensile bond strengths were measured. Debonded metal surfaces after the tensile test were analyzed based on an area of cohesive failure. Thre...

Introduction: Studies have suggested that sodium fluoride (NaF) has an inhibitory effect on the activity of endogenous matrix metalloproteinase enzymes. This study assessed the effect of a fluoride-containing adhesive on microtensile bond strength (µTBS) over time. Material & Methods: In this experimental study, 36 extracted  third molars were used to evaluate the µTBS of...

BACKGROUND Prompt-L-Pop is a sixth generation bonding system contains methacrylated phosphoric acid esters that combine an acidic component for etching the enamel and a primer, is an all-in-one adhesive. This study was undertaken to compare the bonding strength of brackets to enamel with traditional bonding technique and the new Prompt-L-Pop system using the same composite resin. MATERIALS AN...

OBJECTIVES First to compare different dentin bonding agents' shear bond strength to primary and permanent dentin. Secondly to compare the fracture failure modes and making an attempt to develop a statistical model that could be helpful in predicting them. METHODS Extracted human primary and permanent molars were used as substrates (dentin). The shear bond strength of composite to substrate wa...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Use of custom tray and tray adhesive is clinically recommended for elastomeric impression material. However there is not clear mention of drying time of tray adhesive in achieving appropriate bonding strength of tray material and impression material. PURPOSE This study is to investigate an appropriate drying time of tray adhesives by evaluating tensile bonding strength be...

BACKGROUND This study compared the shear bond strength of metallic brackets bonded with Single Bond and Assure bonding agents under dry and saliva-contamination conditions. METHODS Sixty sound premolar teeth were selected, and stainless-steel brackets were bonded on enamel surfaces with Single Bond and Assure bonding agents under dry condition or with saliva contamination. Shear bond strength...

Infection of surgical wounds is a severe problem. Conventional tissue reattachment methods have limits of incomplete sealing and high susceptibility to infection. Medical adhesives have several advantages over traditional tissue reattachment techniques, but still have drawbacks, such as the probability of infection, low adhesive strength, and high cytotoxicity. Recently, a new medical adhesive ...
