adequate bond strength between glass ionomer cements and composite resin is necessary for the success of the sandwich technique.this study assessed the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin to glass-ionomer cements (gic) using self-etch adhesives with different ph values.one hundred specimens (6×4×2 mm) were made using fuji ii and fuji ii lc gics and treated with different adhesives as f...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength to sound and caries-affected dentin using single bond and adper prompt-l-pop adhesives. materials and methods: sixteen extracted human molars with carious lesions extended halfway through dentin were ground to expose the caries affected and the surrounding normal dentin. the samples were divided into two groups of e...

AIM The aim of this randomized, double blind clinical trial was to compare three lining materials (Adper Prompt L-Pop, VivaSens, and Copalite) versus unlined restorations on postoperative cold sensitivity of class I amalgam restorations. METHODS AND MATERIALS Potential subjects were screened for the presence of four initial class I carious lesions on posterior teeth. Each tooth was assigned t...

microleakage can be responsible for tooth hypersensitivity, secondary caries, and the possibility of pathological pulp alterations in restored teeth. recently, alternative methods for tooth preparation such as laser irradiation have been studied; but there are limited studies on primary teeth. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the degree of microleakage of composite restorations pre...

AIM This study evaluated and compared the role of newer dental adhesives to bond composite resin to the resin modified glass ionomer (RMGIC) liner. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six specimens were prepared on acrylic blocks, with wells prepared in it by drilling holes, to retain the RMGIC. The specimens were randomly divided into three groups of 12 specimens each. In group I, a thin layer of a...

Length of resin tags yielded by utilization of an one-step conventional adhesive system and self-etching adhesive system on unground enamel was observed. In study Groups I and III, the enamel surface was etched for 60 seconds with 35% phosphoric acid gel and adhesive systems PQ1 (Ultradent Products, Inc) and Adper Prompt L Pop (3M/ESPE) were applied. Adper Prompt L Pop (3M/ESPE) was also applie...

This study evaluated the effect of adhesive application only to enamel on the marginal microleakage of composite resin restorations performed with different adhesive systems. Standardized cylinder-shaped cavities were prepared on the buccal surface of eighty bovine incisors. Two etch-and-rinse (Adper Scotchbond Multi-purpose [3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN USA] and Adper Single Bond 2 [3M ESPE]) and two...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dentin shear bond strength of four adhesive systems (Adper Single Bond 2, Adper Prompt L-Pop, Magic Bond DE and Self Etch Bond) in regards to buccal and lingual surfaces and dentin depth. Forty extracted third molars had roots removed and crowns bisected in the mesiodistal direction. The buccal and lingual surfaces were fixed in a PVC/acrylic resin ...
