OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the durability of four adhesive systems by assessing their microtensile bond strength (MTBS) and microleakage during six months of water storage. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 128 human third molars were used. The adhesives tested were Scotch Bond Multipurpose (SBMP), Single Bond (SB), Clearfil-SE bond (CSEB), and All-Bond SE (ABSE). After sample prep...

immediate restoration after vital pulp therapy is essential in order to create and maintain effective coronal seal.the aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of recently used pulp capping materials: white mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), and calcium enriched mixture cement (cem) to composite resin with the use of etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesive systems and compare them...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of smear layer thickness (SL) on early and 6-month bond strength (BS) of self-etching adhesives to dentin and to measure the ultimate microtensile strength (UTS) of the adhesives. METHODS Clearfil SE Bond; Optibond Solo Plus Self-Etch Primer; Tyrian Self Priming Etchant (TY) and as controls, Single Bond (SB) and Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus (SBMP) were appli...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pH of different adhesive systems on the polymerization of a chemically cured composite resin (Adaptic--AD), by means of tensile bond strength testing. The adhesive systems tested were: ARM, Prime & Bond 2.1 (PB), Scotchbond Multi Purpose (SMP) and Single Bond (SB). Bond strength at the resin/adhesive system/resin interface was assessed....

PURPOSE The aims of this in vitro study were to: (1) compare bond strength of different adhesive systems to primary and permanent dentin using microtensile test; and (2) evaluate the interaction of these materials to primary and permanent dentin by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). METHODS Middle-coronal dentin surfaces of 18 exfoliated primary and 18 extracted permanent molars wer...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of a low-viscosity bonding resin applied over a self-etching adhesive system on the microtensile bond strength (microTBS) of indirect restorations. Comparisons were made using One Up Bond F (OB) self-etching adhesive system, Single Bond (SB) one-bottle adhesive system and Scotchbond Multi Purpose Plus (SMP) bonding component. Thirty bovine inc...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of operator variability on microleakage with different adhesive systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 180 standardized Class V cavities were prepared on facial and lingual of 90 extracted human premolar teeth and randomly assigned to five groups according to the adhesive systems used (n = 36): Prime and Bond NT (PB), Single ...

This study evaluated in vitro the influence of enamel bleaching on bond strength to dentin. One hundred and twenty bovine incisors were divided into 12 groups (n = 10), according to adhesive system: Adper Single Bond 2 (ASB2), Prime & Bond 2.1 (PB), Adhese (AD) and Clearfil SE Bond (SE). The experimental groups were exposed to 10% carbamide peroxide for 4 hours a day over a period of 10 days. A...

background and aims. adhesive permeability is hindered by application of an additional layer of hydrophobic resin, which increases its concentration within the hydrophilic layer, reduces its affinity to water, and enhances its physical properties. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a hydrophobic layer on the microleakage of class v composite restorations using different ...

The overall aim of this study is to calculate some water properties in the single wall carbon naotubes (SWCNT) and compare them to the bulk water properties to investigate the deviation of water properties inside the SWCNT from those in the bulk. Here some physical and transport properties of water molecules in the single wall carbon nanotube were reported by performing molecular dynamics (MD) ...
