This study was a clinical trial of a one-step, total priming and bonding system, Xeno III. Thirty restorations were placed in minimally invasive V-shaped, Class V cervical cavities. Immediately after placement, baseline records were made after restorations were assessed using modified Ryge/USPHS criteria. Subsequently, restorations were evaluated at recall intervals up to 18 months. Additionall...

This in vitro study evaluated the bond strength of adhesive restorative materials to sound and eroded dentin. Thirty-six bovine incisors were embedded in acrylic resin and ground to obtain flat buccal dentin surfaces. Specimens were randomly allocated in 2 groups: sound dentin (immersion in artificial saliva) and eroded dentin (pH cycling model - 3× / cola drink for 7 days). Specimens were then...

In vitro tensile bond strengths of Photo Clearfil Bright (PB) and Clearfil Photo Posterior (CP) with Clearfil Photo Bond to human enamel and dentin were determined by a truncated cone bond test. Parameters tested were: four substrates (etched enamel; unetched dentin, D1; dentin conditioned with 10% polyacrylic acid, D2; and dentin etched with phosphoric acid, D3); two techniques (bonding agent ...

PURPOSE This study evaluated, in vitro, the capacity of a dentin bonding agent to improve the bond strength of orthodontic brackets using air abrasion enamel preparation. METHODS Each of the enamel surfaces received a different treatment prior to bonding procedures. Group 1 received acid-etched with 38% phosphoric acid for 30 seconds. Group 2 received acid-etched with 38% phosphoric acid for ...

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 ...

Different adhesive systems · used in cervical erosions without cavity preparation were evaluated. The material comprised three groups of patients who received a total of 146 restorations placed by the same operator (JK). Each patient within a group received the same number of restorations with two different types of materials. Type 1: a capsulated glass-ionomer cement (FujiCap 2). Type 2: no ac...

Direct application of dentin bonding agents onto the exposed pulp has been advocated, but in vivo studies indicate a lack of reparative dentin formation. Our objective was to investigate the role of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), a commonly used compound in dentin bonding agents, as a potential inhibitor of mineralization. Human pulp cells were exposed to different concentrations o...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate ascorbic acid (AS) and ferric chloride (FE) for bonding 4-META/MMA-TBB resin to dentin that had been treated with NaClO. An experimental dentin conditioner consisting of 10%AS and 5%Fe (10AS-5FE) and three controls (10AS-0FE, 0AS-5FE, and 0AS-0FE) were prepared. Ascorcic acid neutralizes NaClO. The flattened dentin surfaces were modified sequentially wi...

PURPOSE To evaluate the bond strength between human dentin and composites, using two light-activated single-bottle total-etch adhesive systems with different pHs combined with chemically activated and light-activated-composites. The tested hypothesis was that the dentin bond strength is not influenced by an adhesive system of low pH, combined with chemically activated or light-activated composi...

background: the use of electric current during application of etch-and-rinse adhesive systems has been recently introduced to decrease microleakage. this study investigated the effects of an electric field produced by an experimental device for the application of a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive on moist dentin surface. methods: sixty freshly extracted human premolars were used for this study...
