of adhesive restorations using a three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive (TSER), a one-step self-etching adhesive (OSSE), and a simplified ethanol-wet bonding technique (EWBT) prior to the application of a composite resin in non-carious cervical lesions. Ninety-three restorations (31 for each group) were placed in 17 patients by a single operator. No cavity preparation was performed. After 6 and 12 ...

The objective of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical performance of adhesive restorations using a three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive (TSER), a one-step self-etching adhesive (OSSE), and a simplified ethanol-wet bonding technique (EWBT) prior to the application of a composite resin in non-carious cervical lesions. Ninety-three restorations (31 for each group) were placed ...

This study evaluated the influence of the prolonged setting time of an ethanol-based adhesive system on the dentin bond strength and degree of conversion. Labial and lingual surfaces of fifteen human third molars were flattened until the dentin was exposed and randomly allocated to 3 groups (n = 10), according to the dwell time between the application of two consecutive layers of the adhesive s...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of adhesion technique using different contemporary adhesive systems on the cuspal movement in class II composite restorations in human premolar teeth. METHODS Human premolar teeth were prepared with class II cavities and then restored with composite and etch-and-rinse (Adper Scotchbond Multi Purpose and Adper Single Bond) or self-etch (Clearfil SE Bond an...

Multi-mode universal adhesives (UA) are indicated as either self-etch or etch-and-rinse adhesives, and manufacturers also recommend an alternative ‘selective enamel etch’ technique. Currently available laboratory data support phosphoric acid selective etching of enamel prior to use of UA to improve bond strength. In another way to improve adhesion to enamel of UA without the use of phosphoric a...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the effects of type I collagen degradation on the durability of three adhesive systems in the early phase of dentin bonding. METHODS Bonded dentin specimens were prepared using three different types of adhesive systems. Micro-tensile bond strength and degradation of collagen were tested before, and after 1 month or 4 months of aging in artificial ...

OBJECTIVES To assess the bond strength and the morphology of enamel after application of self-etching adhesive systems with different acidities. The tested hypothesis was that the performance of the self-etching adhesive systems does not vary for the studied parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS Composite resin (Filtek Z250) buildups were bonded to untreated (prophylaxis) and treated (bur-cut or S...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the bond strength of ceramic restorations luted using a self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX Unicem, 3M ESPE) under different dentin conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the experimental groups, ceramic restorations were luted to bovine incisors with RelyX Unicem under the following conditions: [Dry dentin]: surface was dried using air stream fo...

AIM The aim was to evaluate the effects of Oral-B (OB), Listerine (LN) and Rembrandt Plus (RM) mouthrinses on microleakage of composite resin restorations bonded with two adhesive systems after bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60 Cl V cavities were prepared on human premolars. The occlusal and gingival margins were placed 1 mm occlusal to and apical to C...

Background he need of delimiting the bonding area on microshear bond strength (µSBS) test remains an unclear issue. In addition, there are different types tube to perform resin composite cylinders µSBS test. The aim this study was evaluate influence adhesive delimitation and type used build up specimens for testing systems, enamel dentin. Methods 120 bovine incisors were ground achieve flat buc...
