Evaluation of Degree of Conversion, Resin-Dentin Bond Strength, and Durability of Polydopamine Incorporated Total Etch Adhesive System

Dentin bond strength and degree of conversion evaluation of experimental self-etch adhesive systems

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (10-MDP) monomer in one-step self-etch experimental adhesives on dentinal microshear bond strength (µSBS), their degree of conversion and bonded micro structure. MATERIAL AND METHODS Composite resin cylinders (Clearfil AP-X) were bonded on human sound mola...

Sodium fluoride addition to a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system: effect on dentin microtensile bond strength and durability

Introduction: Studies have suggested that sodium fluoride (NaF) has an inhibitory effect on the activity of endogenous matrix metalloproteinase enzymes. This study assessed the effect of a fluoride-containing adhesive on microtensile bond strength (µTBS) over time. Material & Methods: In this experimental study, 36 extracted  third molars were used to evaluate the µTBS of...

Effect of Chlorhexidine Application on Dentin Bond Strength Durability of Two Etch-and-Rinse Adhesive versus a Universal Bond System

Strength and Durability of a New Adhesive Bond to Superficial Dentin Using Etch and Rinse and Self-Etch Systems: An In Vitro Study

Background and Aim: Data regarding the efficacy of universal adhesives are limited. This study aimed to assess the durability of a universal adhesive bond to superficial dentin using etch and rinse and self-etch modes. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro, experimental study, 32 sound molars were randomly divided into two groups of Scotchbond Universal adhesive with two-step etch and rins...

Push-out bond strength of quartz fibre posts to root canal dentin using total-etch and self-adhesive resin cements

OBJECTIVES Several adhesive systems are available for cementation of fibre posts into the root canal. The aim of the present study was to investigate the push-out bond strengths of quartz fibre posts to root dentin with the use of different total-etch and self-adhesive resin cements. STUDY DESIGN Ninety single-rooted human premolars were endodontically treated and standardized post-spaces wer...
