In vitro bond strengths of three resin adhesive systems were tested using 111 primary teeth. Ninety-six flat dentin surface specimens were divided into six groups consisting of 16 primed or 16 unprimed samples for each adhesive system. The remaining 15 tooth samples were divided into three groups of five to determine each adhesive system's bond strength to primary etched enamel. Resin buttons w...

Immediate Dentin Sealing or pre-hybridization implies the application of resin adhesive to freshly cut dentin after teeth preparation, before impression. has been suggested as an alternative delayed sealing (DDS), a technique in which is applied just final bonding indirect restorations. universal i.e used inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns and well documented clinically experimentally. Various typ...

Hybridized dentin permits dental treatments that were previously impossible with conventional techniques, opening new frontiers in modern adhesive dentistry. We have investigated the adhesive property of current bonding systems to caries-infected dentin by a microtensile bond strength test (µTBS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and suggested that bonding resin could infiltrate into ...

1. The following dental cements are listed in order of decreasing mean bonding strenghts on varnish-free dentin: polycarboxylate, zinc phosphate, EBA, Fynal, and CBA. 2. The application of either Copalite or Varnal decreased the dentinal bonding strength of polycarboxylate and zinc phosphate cements. There was no change for CBA cement. 3. The application of Copalite and Varnal increased the den...

OBJECTIVES Different surface treatments may affect bonding performance of adhesive systems to dentin. This study evaluated the influence of different methods of surface treatment on adhesion of bonding agents to dentin. METHODS Dentin surfaces abraded with #600-grit SiC paper were used as control. Three methods of surface treatment (sono-abrasion, air-abrasion and Er:YAG laser irradiation) we...

Background: To conserve the tooth structure, bonded restorations are popular nowadays. Bonding to enamel is predictable by acid-etch technique. However, bonding dentin remains a challenge. Aim: determine better agent between universal and total-etch agents based on shear bond strength using testing machine.
 Methodology: Eighteen human permanent mandibular molars were sectioned longitudina...

objective: the use of presently available dentin bonding systems has greatly reduced mi-croleakage; however, the ideal situation where the adhesive resin completely penetrates the demineralized dentin is not yet achieved. the purpose was to compare the microleak-age of fifth and sixth generation bonding agents at enamel and dentinal margins. materials and methods: class v cavities were prepared...

OBJECTIVES CAD-CAM system is popular because of high esthetic and short fabrication time. But, there is limited information available about the microtensile bonding of luting cements to CAD-CAM inlays and to dentin. The aim of this study was to examine the bond strength of CAD-CAM (Cerec 3) and pressed-ceramic (IPS Empress 2) inlays to dentin surface by microtensile testing using two luting cem...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the bonding performance of a new auto-adhesive cement (RelyX Unicem, 3M ESPE) to enamel and dentin, using a standard micro-tensile bond strength (microTBS) test set-up, and (2) to evaluate the interaction of this material with dentin by means of high-resolution electron microscopy. METHODS The microTBS of RelyX Unicem with and without...
