introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of mta-based sealer (mta fillapex), eugenol-based sealer (dorifill) and an epoxy resin sealer (ah plus) on the bond strength of fiber posts cemented with a self-etch adhesive. materials and methods: the root canals of 72 maxillary incisors were prepared using the step-back technique after removing/cutting off the crowns. th...

objective: the aim of this in vitrostudy was to evaluate the effect of the type of solvent in silane solution on microtensile bond strength of fiber posts to composite resin cores af-ter application of 24% hydrogen peroxide. materials and methods: eighteen white fiber posts, immersed in 24% hydrogen peroxide were divided into three groups (n=6). in the group a post surfaces were silanized with ...

statement of the problem: porcelain laminate veneer is an esthetic restoration used as an alternative to full veneer crowns and requires minimal tooth preparation. in restoration with porcelain laminate veneers, both the longevity of the laminate and conservation of the sound tooth structure are imperative. purpose: the present study aimed to investigate the shear bond strength of porcelain lam...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of metallic orthodontic brackets to feldspathic ceramic with different etching times, bonding materials and with or without silane application. Cylinders of feldspathic ceramic were etched with 10% hydrofluoric acid for 20 or 60 s. For each etching time, half of the cylinders received two layers of silane. Metallic brackets were bonded...

PURPOSE The bond strength of soft denture liner to a recently introduced denture base resin after thermocycling has not been compared to traditional denture base materials. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of thermocycling on the tensile bond strength of soft denture liners to two chemically different denture base resins, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and urethane dim...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of acidic primers on adhesive bonding to sintered aluminum oxide (alumina). Alumina disks were primed with one of the following materials: Acryl Bond, All Bond 2 Primer B, Alloy Primer, Estenia Opaque Primer, Eye Sight Opaque Primer, M.L. Primer, MR. Bond, and Super-Bond Liquid. Specimens were then bonded with an acrylic resin initiated with...

AIM To compare the effect of different chemical solvents on glass fiber reinforced posts and to study the effect of these solvents on the shear bond strength of glass fiber reinforced post to core material. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three chemical solvents, i.e. silane coupling agent, 6% H2O2 and 37% phosphoric acid on the shear bond strength of ...

background and aims. the aim of the present study was to compare the effect of surface treatment with er; cr:yssg, nd:yag, and co2 lasers on repair shear bond strength of a silorane-based composite resin. materials and methods. sixty eight cylindrical samples of a silorane-based composite resin (filtek silorane) were prepared and randomly divided into 4 groups as follows: group 1: without surfa...

Introduction: Retention of fiber reinforced composite posts depends on the bond strength between post and cement, and cement and root dentin. The aim of this study is to evaluate the bond strength of one type of fiber post to radicular dentin with different adhesive cements. Materials and Methods: Crowns of 44 caries-free, human premolar were removed 2 mm below the CEJ and the roots were endod...
