background: casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (cpp-acp) is applied for remineralization of early caries lesions or tooth sensitivity conditions and may affect subsequent resin bonding. this in vitro study investigated the effect of cpp-acp on the shear bond strength of dental adhesives to enamel. materials and methods: sixty extracted human molar teeth were selected and randomly...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength to sound and caries-affected dentin using single bond and adper prompt-l-pop adhesives. materials and methods: sixteen extracted human molars with carious lesions extended halfway through dentin were ground to expose the caries affected and the surrounding normal dentin. the samples were divided into two groups of e...

The effects of oxygen-containing groups, particularly carboxylic and carbonyl groups, on the adsorption of dissolved aromatics on ash-free activated carbon have been studied. Adsorption isotherms for phenol, aniline, nitrobenzene, and benzoic acid were generated in both aqueous and cyclohexane media, using carbons with different amounts of surface oxygen groups. It was found that water adsorpti...

Introduction: The bonding process of the brackets to enamel has been a critical issue in orthodontic research. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of 3 light-cured adhesives (transbond XT, Z250, light bond). Materials &Methods: In this study sixty extracted human premolars were collected and randomly divided into 3 test groups. All teeth were etched by 37% phosp...

background: the aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of four one-step self-etch adhesives with different ph values to enamel and dentin. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 200 bovine permanent mandibular incisors were used. four one-step self-etch adhesives with different ph values were tested both on enamel and on dentin: adper™ easy bond self-etch adhesive (ph ...
