objective: adverse surface interactions between one-bottle adhesives and chemical-cured composites may occur with delayed light activation of light-cured composites. the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of delayed activation of light-cured composites on shear bond strength of two one-bottle adhesives with different acidity to bovine dentin. materials and methods: flat dentin surf...

Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas (NT-APPs) have been shown to improve the bond strength of resin composites to demineralized dentin surfaces. Based on a wet-bonding philosophy, it is believed that a rewetting procedure is necessary after treatment with NT-APP because of its air-drying effect. This study investigated the effect of 'plasma-drying' on the bond strength of an etch-and-rinse...

This in vitro study evaluated the immediate and 6 months microshear bond strength (µSBS) of different adhesive systems to sound and eroded dentin. Sixty bovine incisors were embedded in acrylic resin and ground to obtain flat buccal dentin surfaces. Specimens were randomly allocated into two groups: sound dentin (immersion in artificial saliva) and eroded dentin (erosive challenge following a p...

statement of problem: in some clinical situations, repair of composite restorations is treatment of choice. improving the bond strength between one new and old composite usually requires increased surface roughness to promote mechanical interlocking since chemical bonding might not be adequate. similarly, the treatment of a laboratory fabricated resin composite restoration involves the same pro...

Comparative studies on resin-dentin bond strength and failure mode were performed between the conventional tensile test and the microtensile test with non-trimming small specimens, 1 x 1 mm in cross-section, for two brands of dentin bonding systems. The fracture surface of the conventional large specimen showed a catastrophic cohesive failure in dentin at its center and a lesser adhesive failur...

Light-cured adhesive systems have been widely used in dental clinical practice. Bonding to dentin remains poorly understood and unreliable. Previous studies have shown that quality of hybrid layer (HL: interface between adhesive layer and dentin) is very important to the reliability of whole bonding. Raman spectroscopic studies of the adhesive distribution in HL indicate that monomers do not co...

It has been reported that the adhesive resin layer of all-in-one adhesives is permeable and allows the formation of a water channel or water tree. The effects of a smear layer on the ultra-structure of bonding interface created with three all-in-one adhesives and a resin composite were evaluated in this study. Dentin surface was ground with of 180-, 600-, or 2000-grit SiC paper to produce diffe...

In comparison to enamel, bonding to normal dentin is a greater challenge because of its organic constituents, fluid-filed tubules, and variations in intrinsic composition. Bonding to sclerotic dentin is even more difficult. To evaluate the shear bond strengths of four adhesive systems to dentin substrates with different levels of mineralization, 120 extracted human teeth were randomly assigned ...

multiple adhesive coating is a controversial topic, especially in primary dentition that should be clarified. we evaluated the effect of multiple consecutive adhesive resin coatings on the microshear bond strength (μsbs) of composite resin to primary tooth dentin utilizing a filled (adper single bond plus) and an unfilled (adper single bond) adhesive resin.thirty extracted primary canines were ...
