Aim: To compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of a solvent free self-etch adhesive with solvent containing adhesives. Methods: Forty-five human teeth were sectioned longitudinally to expose superficial dentin and substrates polished with 600-grit SiC paper. The adhesive area was isolated with a cylindrical Teflon mold 3x4 mm. Fifteen specimens were prepared for each material. Were evaluated a s...

recently, self-etching fissure sealants have been introduced to reduce technical sensitivity; however, their efficacy should be assessed. the aim of this study was to assess of the microshear bond strength of self-etching and conventional fissure sealants.thirty non-carious third molars were randomly divided into three groups (n=10). microcylinders of concise fissure sealant were bonded to prep...

OBJECTIVE In recent years, newly developed solvent-free dental adhesives have been introduced. The aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal integrity of a new one-step solvent-free self-etch adhesive and to compare it with a commonly used two-step self-etch adhesive as the gold standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS Class V cavities (2×4×1.5 mm) were prepared on the buccal aspects of 28 human ...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the sealing ability of different types of restorative-adhesive combinations on deciduous molars in vitro. METHODS Facial and lingual Class V cavities were prepared in 120 primary teeth. They were randomly divided into 8 groups of N= 15, in which different adhesives were used (XE=Xeno III; LP=Adper Prompt L Pop; IB=I Bond; SB=Scotch Bond 1; EP=Etch & Prime 3.0; AS=...
