statement of the problem: monomer viscosity and solvent evaporation can be affected by the adhesive system temperature. higher temperature can elevate the vapor pressure in solution and penetration of adhesive in smear layer. bonding mechanism may be influenced by the adhesive temperature. purpose: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of pre-heating on shear bond strength of etch-and-rinse a...

OBJECTIVES Effect of a dentin adhesive system containing antibacterial monomer-MDPB (Clearfil Protect Bond) on the shear bond strength of all-ceramic-IPS Empress 2 restorations luted with three different dual-polymerizing systems (Variolink 2, RelyX ARC and Panavia F 2.0) to dentin was investigated. METHODS One hundred and eight all-ceramic discs (2 x 3mm; IPS Empress 2) were fabricated and u...

The adhesive monomer, Clearfil New Bond, was used to enhance the bond strength between orthodontic brackets and primary molars, premolars, and NiCr crowns. Twenty specimens of each had this dental adhesive applied according to the manufacturer's instructions in addition to a chemically cured composite material. The remaining specimens (20 each) were bonded without the adhesive monomer. Shear bo...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of different bonding strategies on the microtensile bond strength to deep and superficial permanent dentin. METHODS Forty-eight teeth were randomly flattened according to the dentin depth: superficial dentin (SD) and deep dentin (DD). Subsequently, three adhesive systems were applied (n=8): an etch-and-rinse (Adper Single Bond 2 - SB), a "mild" two-step self-...

Introduction: In recent dentin adhesive systems etching of enamel/dentin are achieved simultaneously. The objective was to evaluate the microleakage of composite restorations using Single Bond2 (5th generation), Clearfil S3 Bond and G Bond (7th generation). Methods: Class V cavities were prepared on  45 extracted intact premolars with gingival margins at the cementoenamel junction and they were...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of refrigeration at 4 degrees C and post-refrigeration times (immediate, 5, 10, 15, or 20 min) on the viscosity and conversion kinetics of adhesive bonding resins. METHODS Scotchbond Dual-Cure (3M ESPE) and Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray) were tested. Control samples were kept at 25 degrees C for 24 h. At each post-refrigeration time, the temperature was ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability of the resin-coat technique used in cavity preparation to protect dentin before impression taking and final cementation and its effect on the tensile bond strength of indirect restorations after thermal and load cycling. METHODS Occlusal enamel was removed from 25 third molars to expose flat dentin. Teeth were divided into 5 groups (n=5): G1, receiving no den...

Background and aims. Use of porcelain as inlays, laminates and metal-ceramic and all-ceramic crowns is common in modern dentistry. The high cost of ceramic restorations, time limitations and difficulty of removing these restorations result in delays in replacing fractured restorations; therefore, their repair is indicated. The aim of the present study was to compare the shear bond strengths of ...

It was the aim of the current in vitro study to test the erosion-preventive potential of an experimental surface sealant (K-0184) and currently marketed self-etch adhesive systems under abrasive conditions. Ninety-six dentine specimens were randomly allocated to eight groups (n=12): (1) positive control (no treatment), (2) K-0184, (3) Shield Force Plus, (4) Xeno Select, (5) Scotchbond Universal...
