To evaluate the effect of a dentin adhesive on sclerotie dentin, contraetion gap width and shear bond strength were measured, Dent{n cavity wall was pretreated with an experimental dentin bonding system w{th 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 signifieantly smaller than ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of nanocomposite resin to superficial dentin and deep dentin using two different dentin bonding systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS All teeth were sectioned at various levels (superficial dentin: Dentin within 0.5-1 mm of dentinoenamel junction; deep dentin: Dentin within 0.5 mm of the highest pulp horn) using a Carborundu...

The aim of this study was to investigate the diffusion of red-stained experimental GM primer and blue-stained dentin bonding agent into EDTA-conditioned dentin and the effect of GM priming on contraction gap formation. After GM priming at 0, 35, 70, or 100 vol%, marginal adaptation was evaluated by measuring the wall-to-wall contraction gap width of a light-activated resin composite (Palfique E...

This in vitro study evaluated the effects of simplified ethanol-wet bonding technique on dentin bonding durability of two etchand-rinse adhesives to bovine dentin. Sixteen freshly extracted bovine incisors were divided into four groups according to bonding technique (water-wet or ethanol-wet bonding) and adhesive (Single Bond 2 or Prime & Bond NT). After etching and rinsing, dentin surfaces wer...

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 ...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this article is to review evidence-based principles that could help optimize dentin bonding for indirect composite and porcelain restorations. More than 30 articles were reviewed, most of them addressing the specific situation of dentin bonding for indirect restorations. It appears that the combined results of this data plus clinical experience suggest the need for a r...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been studied extensively, and MMP inhibitors have been used as dental pretreatment agents prior to dentin bonding because they reduce collagen fiber degradation and improve bonding strength. However, morphologic characteristics of the collagen network after etching and of the post-adhesive dentin hybrid layers (DHL) after MMP inhibitors pretreatment have no...
