The purpose of this study was to observe the pulpal response of bacterially infected cavities restored with either Gluma or Scotchbond. Cl V cavities (120) were distributed throughout the dentitions of five adult Macaca mulatta monkeys at intervals of 8 and 90 days. Each cavity was left open to the oral microflora for 48 hours to allow bacterial invasion of the remaining dentin. Six treatment g...

  Abstract Introduction: One-bottle light-cured adhesives systems have variable pH. In addition to ease of use, universal adhesives can be used in various restorations and different substrates. Due to the lack of studies, the purpose of this study was to compare the enamel and dentin micro-leakage of self-cure and light cure composite restorations using a universal bonding system. Materials...

This clinical report describes the fabrication and bonding of porcelain laminate veneer restorations in a patient with anterior open spaces. Laminate veneer restorations made of feldspathic porcelain were etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid, rinsed under tap water, ultrasonically cleaned with methanol, and primed with a chemically activated three-liquid silane bonding agent (Clearfil Porcelain Bon...

PURPOSE To review the literature on adhesive luting of fiber-reinforced composite posts (FRC) to provide evidence for the clinical procedure of restoring endodontically treated teeth using FRC posts. METHODS Data focusing on bonding behavior between root canal dentin, luting agent, and FRC post in vitro as well as in vivo performance of teeth restored with FRC posts were reported. These data ...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been studied extensively, and MMP inhibitors have been used as dental pretreatment agents prior to dentin bonding because they reduce collagen fiber degradation and improve bonding strength. However, morphologic characteristics of the collagen network after etching and of the post-adhesive dentin hybrid layers (DHL) after MMP inhibitors pretreatment have no...

Introduction: To evaluate and compare shear bond strength of self-cure and  light-cure composites using a universal bonding system. Materials and Methods: Superficial coronal dentin of 62 intact extracted  premolars was exposed and bonding agent (All-Bond Universal) was applied over the  dentin surface according to the manufacturer instruction (self-etch mode). Then  samples were distribut...

PURPOSE To review the use of a new resin-dentin bonding model called the macro-hybrid layer, to quantify resin uptake and matrix shrinkage during resin infiltration and solvent evaporation. A secondary purpose was to introduce the concept of ethanol-wet bonding where water-saturated acid-etched dentin is exchanged with ethanol to create ethanol-saturated dentin. Adhesive monomers seem to penetr...

BACKGROUND Antioxidizing agents have recently been suggested to compensate decreased bond strength of resin materials to bleached tooth tissues. This study compared the shear bond strength (SBS) of three different adhesives on bleached dentin immediately after bleaching, bleached/delayed for 1 week, and bleached/applied antioxidizing agent. MATERIALS AND METHODS The dentinal surfaces of 132 i...

the purpose of the review was to assess the effect of root canal irrigants on dentin bonding. a pubmed-based search was conducted on the articles published from 1980 to 2016. a brief overview and reviewing the effect on dentin bonding of common root canal irrigation solutions such as sodium hypochlorite (naocl), chlorhexidine (chx), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta), mixture of a tetracycl...
