OBJECTIVE To evaluate tensile bond strengths of 2 dentin bonding agents containing solvents on Nd:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG laser-etched dentin surface. METHOD AND MATERIALS Occlusal enamel of 146 molars was removed, and exposed surfaces were ground with a diamond bur to produce bur-cut dentin surfaces. Of those teeth, 120 were assigned to 3 groups of 40 samples in which dentin was conditioned with ...

Clearfil DC Bond (DC) is a new single-step, dual-cure bonding agent. In this study, the shear bond strengths of a core build-up composite to dentin used with four bonding systems [DC, Unifil Core Self-Etching Bond (UC), Clearfil SE Bond (SE) and Cleafil tri-S Bond (TS)] were measured. The bonding ability after 7 days of storage and in vitro durability following 20,000 thermocycles were also eva...

AIM The aim of this study is to assess the effect of 35% sodium ascorbate on microtensile bond strength of dentin immediately after bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 25 sound human 3rd molars were collected. Teeth were randomly divided into five groups for different treatments: Group I [bleaching + immediate bonding (i.e., restoration)], group II (bleachin...

in surrogate pregnancies genetic parents have little opportunity for early bonding with their infants either prenatally (in utero) or during the immediate postnatal period. procedures commonly used to induce lactation include both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods often in combination. studies reporting induced lactation are sparse due to the rarity of augmented lactation. here we repo...

Background: The old concept of total-etch/dry bonding has been superseded by total-etch/wet bonding, and later on by the self-etch systems. Manufacturers have introduced single bottle systems to be used in total-etch, self-etch, or selective-etch modes under both dry and moist conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate shear bond strengths of three different dental adhesives under dry an...

Background: The newly introduced self-adhering flowable resin-composites decrease the required time for application by incorporation of an acidic adhesive monomer, thus reducing the number of steps, but its bonding is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interfacial microscopic examination and chemical analysis at the resin-dentin interface of a self-adhering flowable resi...

Photoactivated bis-diazopyruvamide-N,N'-bis(3-diazopyruvoyl)-2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)bis-(ethylamine), (DPD)-was previously shown to bond materials containing type I collagen. However, tensile strength of bonded collagenous tissue ( approximately 78% water) was low compared with that of dehydrated collagenous gelatin ( approximately 14% water). Here we investigated the role of water in corneal tiss...

This study evaluated in vitro the shear bond strength of a resin-based pit-and-fissure sealant (Fluroshield - F) associated with either an ethanol-based (Adper Single Bond 2 - SB) or an acetone-based (Prime & Bond - PB) adhesive system under conditions of oil contamination. Mesial and distal enamel surfaces from 30 sound third molars were randomly assigned to 2 groups (n=30): I - no oil contami...
