We have investigated the effectiveness and safety of a newly developed biological adhesive for repair of meniscal tear. The adhesive was composed of disuccinimidyl tartrate (DST) as a crosslinker and human serum albumin (HSA) as a hardener. To determine adequate concentration, bonding strength was measured using a tensiometer 5 min after applying the adhesive on the avascular zone tear of porci...

o bjectives: the objective of this study was to assess the effect of new bonding techniques on enamel surface. materials and methods: sixty upper central incisors were randomly divided into two equal groups. in the first group, metal brackets were bonded using trans- bondxt and, in the second group, the same brackets were bonded with maxcemelite. the shear bond strength (sbs) of both agents to ...

The effects of different bonding parameters, such as temperature, pressure, curing time, bonding temperature ramp and post-processing, on the electrical performance and the adhesive strengths of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) interconnection are investigated. The test results show that the contact resistances change slightly, but the adhesive strengths increase with the bonding temperature i...

In this paper, an experimental study concerning the effect of surface morphology on mechanical properties of adhesive bonding behaviour of continuous carbon fibres reinforced PEEK was performed. Surface morphology of PEEK composite was varied by sandblasting process. 3D morphological parameters were calculated from interferometry measurements. Surface wettability behaviour was studied by depose...

Light-cured adhesive systems have been widely used in dental clinical practice. Bonding to dentin remains poorly understood and unreliable. Previous studies have shown that quality of hybrid layer (HL: interface between adhesive layer and dentin) is very important to the reliability of whole bonding. Raman spectroscopic studies of the adhesive distribution in HL indicate that monomers do not co...

BACKGROUND Prompt-L-Pop is a sixth generation bonding system contains methacrylated phosphoric acid esters that combine an acidic component for etching the enamel and a primer, is an all-in-one adhesive. This study was undertaken to compare the bonding strength of brackets to enamel with traditional bonding technique and the new Prompt-L-Pop system using the same composite resin. MATERIALS AN...

OBJECTIVE Recurrent caries at the margins is a primary reason for restoration failure. The objectives of this study were to develop bonding agent with the double benefits of antibacterial and remineralizing capabilities, to investigate the effects of NACP filler level and solution pH on Ca and P ion release from adhesive, and to examine the antibacterial and dentin bond properties. METHODS Na...

Background and Aim: Microleakage is a drawback of composite restorations and it is more noticeable in dentinal walls. Despite advances in dentin bonding agents, no adhesive can completely eliminate microleakage and provide a hermetic seal. This study aimed to compare microleakage of three resin bonding agents namely a universal adhesive, two-step self-etch system and two-step total-etch system....
