This study evaluated the extent of water penetration through resin-dentin interfaces before and after being sealed with adhesives. Four adhesive resin systems (2 total-etch adhesives and 2 self-etching primer adhesives) were used in this study. Dentin disks were placed in a split-chamber device, and in situ fluid movement across dentin was measured, with and without physiological pressure, duri...

objective: adverse surface interactions between one-bottle adhesives and chemical-cured composites may occur with delayed light activation of light-cured composites. the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of delayed activation of light-cured composites on shear bond strength of two one-bottle adhesives with different acidity to bovine dentin. materials and methods: flat dentin surf...

The effect of momentary pretreatment by 35% HEMA solution on the adaptation between dentin and resin material was investigated by measuring wall-to-wall polymerization contraction in a cylindrical dentin cavity. Five marketed bonding agents tested in this study exhibited improved marginal seal when the dentin cavity wall was pretreated by 35% HEMA for a few seconds with the exception of Pyrofi1...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 4 dentin-bonding agents on the cell viability of bovine derived cells. STUDY DESIGN Cytotoxicity of dentin-bonding agents (G-Bond [GB], Adper Prompt Self-Etch [APSE], Clearfil DC Bond System [CDCB], and Quadrant University-1-Bond [UB]) was analyzed with a dentin barrier test device using 3-dimensional (3D) pulp cell cultures. A co...

Dentin-bonding agents have changed dramatically since being introduced. The large number of these products, as well their dynamic nature and myriad clinical uses, make it difficult for clinicians to understand how they work and when to use them. Sequential development of dentin-bonding agents from the mid-1950s to the present is described. Information also is provided about current popular bond...

Conventional water wet-bonding technique has been advocated by many scientists, but the excess water will induce suboptimal polymerization of dental adhesives, phase separation, and nanoleakage, which will influence the longevity of resin-dentin interfaces. Recent studies have put forward a new concept, ethanol wet-bonding. This technique can increase in dentin bond durability. This review focu...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine differences in shear bond strength to human dentin using immediate dentin sealing (IDS) technique compared to delayed dentin sealing (DDS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty extracted human molars were divided into 4 groups with 10 teeth each. The control group was light-cured after application of dentin bonding agent (Excite® DSC) and cemented with Va...

objectives : this experimental study evaluated the effect of bonding application time on the microshear bond strength of composite resin to different types of glass ionomer cements (gics). materials and methods: one-hundred and sixty specimens (two conventional and two resin-modified gics) were prepared and divided into 16 groups. the surface of all specimens was prepared using two different bo...
