recently, self-etching fissure sealants have been introduced to reduce technical sensitivity; however, their efficacy should be assessed. the aim of this study was to assess of the microshear bond strength of self-etching and conventional fissure sealants.thirty non-carious third molars were randomly divided into three groups (n=10). microcylinders of concise fissure sealant were bonded to prep...

statement of problem: shear bond strength (sbs) of home and office bleached enamel will be compromised by immediate application of composite restoration. antioxidant agent may overcome this problem. objectives: this in vitro study assessed the effect of green tea extract on shear bond strength of resin composite to in-office and home-bleached enamel. materials and methods: in this experimental ...

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...

One often alleges that laboratory bond-strength testing cannot predict clinical effectiveness of adhesives. Major argument to sustain this claim is the wide variation in bond-strength values recorded for one specific adhesive among different research institutes worldwide. The main reason for these inconsistent bond-strength measurements is supposedly the current lack of a standard bond-strength...

Introduction: Detachment of denture teeth from denture base is one of the most common reasons for costly denture repairs .This study aimed at evaluating the bond strength of an acrylic denture tooth to polyamide injection-molded thermoplastic denture base material compared with three conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base resins. Materials and Method: A total of 40 acrylic dent...
