objective: microleakage has always been a problem in restorative dentistry. to decrease microleakage, modern bonding systems, different application methods and sandwich technique have been recommended. the purpose of this study was to assess the microleakage in class v cavities restored with open sandwich technique using self-etch and total-etch bonding systems.   methods: in this in vitro stud...

Background and Aim: By application of casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) as a remineralizing agent, it may be feasible to only remove the carious dentin and better preserve the tooth structure. This study aimed to assess the shear bond strength of composite to primary enamel treated with CPP-ACP using total-etch and self-etch bonding systems. Materials and Methods: T...

objective: in this study, the effect of bur cutting efficacy was evaluated on microleakage of class v composite restorations with two adhesive systems. materials and methods: class v cavities were produced on sound extracted human teeth, which had been assigned randomly to one of six groups (n=15) as follows: groups 1 and 6 were prepared using used rough diamond bur; group 2 and 5 were prepared...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of Expasyl® gingival retraction paste on the shear bond strength of self-etch and total-etch adhesive systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four specimens of extracted, caries-free, sound human molars were used in this study. The molars were then cut vertically into halves through the buccal and lingual cusps. Forty-eight specimens were divided into four gr...

the bond strength of adhesives in irrigated dentin behaves differently over time. the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of long-term water storage and thermocycling on the microtensile bond strength of adhesive systems to dentin irrigated with endodontic solutions.sixty human molars were used after removal of the occlusal portion and exposure of the dentin by grinding. the specime...

PURPOSE This study compared the effectiveness of self-etch and total-etch adhesive systems in bonding to the beveled and nonbeveled margins of primary and permanent teeth. METHODS This in vitro, factorial-designed study allowed evaluation of 3 factors: (1) tooth type; (2) presence of a bevel; and (3) adhesive type. Two preparations, each including a beveled and nonbeveled margin, were complet...

Background: Adhesive procedures have become an integral part of today’s restorative dental procedures. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of contaminants such as saliva, blood, and hemostatic agents on the shear bond strength of a self-etch adhesive system Clearfil SE Bond, one-step, self-etch adhesive system AdperTM Easy One and a total-etch adhesive system AdperTM Single Bond 2...

BACKGROUND To determine the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index of a new premixed self-etching primer and adhesive (Tectosan, BonaDent, Germany) for orthodontic appliances in comparison to a reference total-etch system Transbond XT. METHODS Bovine incisors were embedded in resin and randomly divided into two groups of 16 samples each. Brackets (Discovery, Dentaurum, Germany) were b...

BACKGROUND This study was carried out to evaluate the nanoleakage of two types of nanofilled adhesive systems in Class V composite resin restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Totally 60 human premolars were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 30). Standardized round Class V cavities (enamel and dentin margins) were prepared. A total-etch (N-Bond total etch) (Ivoclar Vivadent) and self-etching ...
