The aims of this study were to evaluate the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elastic modulus (E) of adhesives, and primer/adhesive mixtures after aging for 6 months in water or oil; and to compare silver uptake patterns under the TEM. A one-step self-etching adhesive (One-up Bond F: OB), two two-step self-etching primers (SE Bond: SE and Protect Bond: CP), and two etch-and-rinse systems (Sin...

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...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of washing water temperature on the micro‑shear bond strength (μsbs) of composite resin to dentin using a two‑step etch‑and‑rinse system and a two‑step self‑etching system. materials and methods: in this in vitro study , the intact dentins of buccal and lingual surfaces of healthy third molars were exposed. dentin surfaces were ri...

This controlled clinical trial evaluated the 2-year clinical performance of a one-bottle etch-and-rinse adhesive and resin composite system (Excite/Tetric Ceram) compared to a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) (Vitremer/3M) in non-carious cervical lesions. Seventy cervical restorations (35 resin composite - RC- restorations and 35 RMGIC restorations) were placed by a single operator i...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate comparatively the shear bond strength (SBS) of etch-and-rinse (Adper Scotch Bond Multi Purpose--ASBMP and Adper Single Bond 2--ASB2) and self-etching (AdheSe--AD and Adper Prompt--AP) adhesive systems after short- and long-term water storage. Eighty bovine teeth were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n=20, 10 teeth for 24 h and 10 for 6 months). After surf...
