the aim of this study was to compare the effect of an acidic environment on dislocation resistance (push-out bond strength) of endosequence root repair material (errm putty and errm paste), a new bioceramic-based material, to that of mineral tri-oxide aggregate (mta).one-hundred twenty root dentin slices with standardized canal spaces were divided into 6 groups (n = 20 each) and filled with too...

background and aims. the aim was to evaluate the effect of casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (cpp-acp) on microtensile bond strength (µtbs) to carious affected dentin (cad) using etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesive systems. materials and methods. the occlusal surface of 32 human molars with moderate occlusal caries was removed. infected dentin was removed until reaching cad an...

background: a few studies have investigated the effect of the activation mode of adhesive systems on bond strength of fi ber posts to root canal dentin. this study investigated the push-out bond strengths of a glass fi ber post to different root canal regions with the use of two adhesives with light- and dual-cure polymerization modes. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 40 maxillary...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the push-out bond strength of white proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), biodentine, calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement and endosequence root repair material (errm) putty after exposure to blood. methods and materials: a total of 96 root dentin slices with a standardized thickness of 1.00±0.05 mm and standardized canal spaces were r...

Introduction: Due to undeniable effect of surface treatment on restoration bond strength, this study was conducted to measure and compare the shear bond strength of hybrid ionomer and compomer using the three different methods of surface conditioning. Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, 72 samples were prepared from hybrid ionomer (Vitremer-3M) and compomer (Compoglass-Vivadent) re...

background: based on contradictory findings concerning the use of lasers for enamel etching, the purpose of this study was to investigate the shear bond strength of teeth prepared for bonding with er-yag laser etching and compare them with phosphoric acid etching. materials and methods: in this in vitro study forty – eight premolars, extracted for orthodontic purposes were randomly divided in t...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of washing water temperature on the micro‑shear bond strength (μsbs) of composite resin to dentin using a two‑step etch‑and‑rinse system and a two‑step self‑etching system. materials and methods: in this in vitro study , the intact dentins of buccal and lingual surfaces of healthy third molars were exposed. dentin surfaces were ri...

Background and Aim: By application of casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) as a remineralizing agent, it may be feasible to only remove the carious dentin and better preserve the tooth structure. This study aimed to assess the shear bond strength of composite to primary enamel treated with CPP-ACP using total-etch and self-etch bonding systems. Materials and Methods: T...
