BACKGROUND When partial coverage restorations (veneers, inlays, onlays…) must be cemented to dentin, bond strength may not reach the same predictable values as to enamel. The purpose of this study was: 1. To compare, with a shear bond test, the bond strength to dentin of a total-etch and a self-etching bonding agent. 2. To determine whether creating microretention improves the bond strength to ...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of thermo-cycling and curing mode of composites (light and chemical curing) on dentin bond strength of one all-in-one and an one-bottle bonding systems. Methods and Materials: Occlusal enamels of eighty caries-free third molars were ground with a model trimmer to create flat surfaces in superficial dentin for bonding, and random...

This study evaluated the effect of organic solvent (acetone or ethanol) on the microtensile bond strengths (MTBS) of an adhesive system applied to dry and moist dentin. Sixteen extracted human third molars were ground to expose a flat occlusal dentin surface and acid etched for 20 seconds (20% phosphoric acid gel, Gluma Etch 20 Gel, Heraeus/Kulzer). After rinsing the acid etchant, an ethanol-ba...

objective: the purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of adding nanofiller particles to a dentin bonding agent on resin-dentin bond strength. materials and methods: fifty-four human intact premolar teeth were divided in to 6 groups of nine. the teeth were ground on occlusal surfaces and polished with 320 and then 600 grit silicon carbide papers. an experimental bonding system based ...

To evaluate the effect of a dentin adhesive on sclerotic dentin, contraction gap width and shear bond strength were measured. Dentin cavity wall was pretreated with an experimental dentin bonding system with and without a dentin primer, or with a commercial dentin bonding system. In the experimental dentin bonding groups, contraction gap width of sclerotic dentin was significantly smaller than ...

Optimal strategies for the application of an adhesive differ between enamel and dentin because differences in their composition. The development systems has mainly focused on bonding dentin, rather than enamel, by etching with phosphoric acid (PA). Dental technologies continue to rapidly advance, various have been developed since study Buonocore 1955. He introduced acid-etch technique. Then, et...

The mechanism responsible for sodium-hypochlorite-induced reduction in dentin bond strength and its reversal with reducing agents is unknown. This study examined the relationship between nanoleakage and reversal of compromised bonding to oxidized dentin. Acid-etched dentin was completely depleted of demineralized collagen matrix when sodium hypochlorite was used. Specimens were bonded with two ...

Introduction:One-bottle light-cured adhesives systems have variable pH. In addition to ease of use, universal adhesives can be used in various restorations and different substrates. Due to the lack of studies, the purpose of this study was to compare the enamel and dentin micro-leakage of self-cure and light cure composite restorations using a universal bonding system. Materials & Methods:The ...
