Microleakage is related to recurrent decay, inflammation of vital pulps, and reinfection of previously treated root canals. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the abilities of new adhesive cements and conventional nonadhesive controls to prevent microleakage under stainless steel crowns on primary anterior teeth. Standardized preparations were made, and stainless steel crowns were...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of two surface treatments, aging, and two resin cements on shear bond strength between dentin and yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal ceramic (Y-TZP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty human molars were embedded in acrylic resin and sectioned 3 mm below the occlusal plane. These teeth and 80 cylindrical Y-TZP specimens (height, 4 mm; diameter, 3.4 mm)...

PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate shear bond strength (SBS) between three dual-cured resin cements and silica coated zirconia, before and after thermocycling treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty specimens were cut in 15 × 2.75 mm discs using zirconia. After air blasting of 50 µm alumina, samples were prepared by tribochemical silica coating with Rocatec™ plus. The specimens were ...

This study evaluated: I) the effect of photo-activation through ceramics on the degree of conversion (DC) and on the Knoop hardness (KHN) of light- and dual-cured resin cements; and II) two different protocols for obtaining the spectra of uncured materials, to determine the DC of a dual-cured resin cement. Thin films of cements were photo-activated through ceramics [feldspathic porcelain (FP); ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the shear bond strength to a gold alloy of RMGICs combined with three metal priming agents. Gold alloy was primed with one of the following materials: Alloy Primer, Metal Primer II, or Metaltite. Non-treated group was considered as the control. Specimens were bonded with one of the following luting agents: Super-Bond C&B, Vitremer Luting Cement, Fu...

objectives : studies on the effect of coloring procedures on the bond strength of zirconia to resin cement are lacking in the literature. this study evaluated the effect of dipping of zirconia ceramic in different liquid color shades on the microtensile bond strength (mtbs) of zirconia ceramic to resin cement. materials and methods: this in vitro study was conducted on 100 microbar specimens di...

This study was conducted to enhance the tensile bond strengths of resin cements to zirconia ceramics. Fifty-six zirconia ceramic specimens (Cercon Base) and twenty-eight silica-based ceramic specimens (GN-1, GN-1 Ceramic Block) were air-abraded using alumina. Thereafter, the zirconia ceramic specimens were divided into two subgroups of 28 each according to the surface pretreatment; no pretreatm...

The continuous technological advance and increasing availability of new dental self adhesive resin cement in the market, coupled to the demands of daily clinical practice, have made the determine mechanical properties. This study evaluated the shear bond strength of ceramics cemented by three different dental self-adhesive resin cements. Shear bond strength was measured with an Instron servo hy...

UNLABELLED Indirect restorations in contact with free gingival margins or principally within the gingival sulcus, where the presence of organic acids produced by oral biofilm is higher, may present faster degradation of the resin-based cement pellicle. OBJECTIVES To investigate the degradation of four resin-based cements: Rely X ARC (R), Variolink II (V), Enforce (E) and All Cem (A), after im...

To evaluate the interactive influence of adhesive materials and surface treatments on bond strength of zirconium oxide ceramics, six types of adhesive resin cements (RelyX ARC (RA), Super-Bond C & B (SB), Linkmax (LM), Panavia Fluoro Cement (PF), Bistite II (BT), and Imperva Dual (ID)), three types of resin-reinforced glass ionomer cements (Xeno Cem Plus (XC), Vitremer Luting (VR), and Fuji Lut...
