The continuous technological advance and increasing availability of new dental self adhesive resin cement in the market, coupled to the demands of daily clinical practice, have made the determine mechanical properties. This study evaluated the shear bond strength of ceramics cemented by three different dental self-adhesive resin cements. Shear bond strength was measured with an Instron servo hy...

Early childhood caries is now affecting the children in dangerous proportions. There is a widespread loss of the tooth material irrespective of the type of the carious lesion. Restoration of such lesions with a strong permanent bond between the dental tissues and the restorative dental materials would be a highly desirable requisite of any restorative material. Ultramorphological characterizati...

Cyanoacrylate (CA) and its homologues have a variety of medical, dental and commercial applications as adhesives. The increasing use of CA in dentistry, particularly as an adhesive and sealing glue, has raised concerns regarding its potential toxicity in humans. Reported toxicity of CA is uncommon in the dental workplace, but may manifest as conditions such as urticaria, contact dermatitis and ...

Maxillofacial prostheses is a dental medicine specialty aimed at restoring anatomical facial defects caused by cancer, trauma or congenital malformations through an artificial device, which is commonly attached to the skin with the help of an adhesive. The purpose of our research was to develop a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) based on acrylic monomers, characterizing and determining its dry...

RFO, Passo Fundo, v. 18, n. 1, p. 83-87, jan./abr. 2013 Objective: evaluate the shear bond strength of metallic brackets bonded with two adhesive systems to eroded enamel surfaces. Methods: sixty bovine incisors were used and divided into four groups (n = 15). The bonding procedures were performed with metallic brackets and 37% phosphoric acid etching, and divided as follows: Group 1, healthy e...
