OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of adhesion technique using different contemporary adhesive systems on the cuspal movement in class II composite restorations in human premolar teeth. METHODS Human premolar teeth were prepared with class II cavities and then restored with composite and etch-and-rinse (Adper Scotchbond Multi Purpose and Adper Single Bond) or self-etch (Clearfil SE Bond an...

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...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of four self-etching adhesives placed over blood-contaminated/uncontaminated resected root apices without root-end preparation. Extracted maxillary incisors and canines were randomly divided into four groups of 10 teeth each. After canal preparation and resection of the apex, four self-etching adhesives (Clearfil SE Bond, One-Up Bond...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of Er:YAG laser irradiation on the bond strength to dentine of three single-step adhesives (AQ Bond Plus, G-Bond, and Clearfil Tri-S Bond), and one two-step self-etch adhesive (Clearfil Megabond) as a control. BACKGROUND DATA The vast majority of the numerous reports on resin bonding to Er:YAG-lased dentine have concluded that ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of endodontic irrigants on the tensile bond strength of an adhesive system used to cement glass fiber posts to dentin. STUDY DESIGN Fifty bovine roots were divided into 5 groups according to the solution used during instrumentation: G1, 0.9% NaCl (control); G2, 1.0% NaOCl; G3, 2.5% NaOCl; G4, 5.25% NaOCl; G5, 2% chlorhexidine gel +...

Background and Aims: Restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) is challenging due to the difficulty of adhesion of dental tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of three methods of surface treatments using diamond bur, Er: YAG laser and sandblasting on the microtensile bond strength of resin composite to the noncarious dentin in cervical lesions. Materials and ...

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 ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the microtensile bond strength of a single-step self-etch adhesive system (Clearfil tri-S Bond and One-Up Bond F Plus) to bovine dentin. Adhesive was applied to a flat dentin surface, and resin composite was bonded according to the manufacturers' instructions. After 24 h storage in distilled water at 37 degrees C, hourglass-shaped specimens were produced...
