statement of the problem: the bond strength of composites with different adhesive systems with dentin is an important factor in long term durability of composite restorations. the effect of titanium tetrafluoride (tif4) as anti caries agent and sodium hypochlorite (naocl) as disinfectant on the shear bond of nanofilled and silorane based composite resins have not been investigated in previous s...

objective: this study evaluated the influence of storage time on micro-shear bond strength of two self-etching materials to enamel and dentin. materials and methods: human third molar teeth were sectioned to 1.5 mm thick beams and randomly divided into 2 groups. in group i, se bond and in group ii, tri-s bond was used to bond a composite rod (ap-x) to each treated surface. specimens were prepar...

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 purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of er:yag laser on the shear bond strength of resin modified glass ionomer (rmgi) to enamel.twenty extracted caries-free human premolars were selected. the teeth were embedded in acrylic resin. the buccal surfaces of each sample were ground to plane enamel with carbonated disc. the teeth were randomly divided in two groups. in the first group...

statement of the problem: monomer viscosity and solvent evaporation can be affected by the adhesive system temperature. higher temperature can elevate the vapor pressure in solution and penetration of adhesive in smear layer. bonding mechanism may be influenced by the adhesive temperature. purpose: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of pre-heating on shear bond strength of etch-and-rinse a...

statement of problem: the bond strength of root canal sealers to gutta-percha seems to be an important property for maintaining the integrity of the apical seal which can result in reducing apical microleakage. purpose: the purpose of the present study was to compare the tensile bond strengths of four types of root canal sealers to gutta–percha. this study measured the maximum forces needed to ...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of various irrigants on the push-out bond strength of calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement and mineral trioxide aggregate (mta). methods and materials: a total of 140 dentin disks with a thickness of 1.5±0.2 mm and lumen size of 1.3 mm, were randomly divided into 12 groups ( n =10) and 4 control groups ( n =5). the lumen o...

introduction: this study was performed to determine the shear bond strength of rebonded mechanically retentive ceramic brackets after recycling with erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser or sandblasting. methods: twenty-eight debonded ceramic brackets plus 14 intact new ceramic brackets were used in this study. debonded brackets were randomly divided into 2 groups of 14. one group...
