background: the use of electric current during application of etch-and-rinse adhesive systems has been recently introduced to decrease microleakage. this study investigated the effects of an electric field produced by an experimental device for the application of a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive on moist dentin surface. methods: sixty freshly extracted human premolars were used for this study...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The bond strength between restorative material and tooth structure is so important for conduction of durable restoration. Considering the recent attention to low shrinkage composite resins, evaluation of micro tensile bond strength of these materials would be valuable. OBJECTIVES To compare the microtensile bond strength of silorane composite resin (Filtek P90) with the c...

This literature review article addresses the types and the main components of different etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesive systems available in the market, and relates them to their function, possible chemical interactions and influence of handling characteristics. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images are presented to characterize the interface between adhesives and dentin. Adhesive sys...

PURPOSE To evaluate the in vitro microtensile bond strength (microTBS) of etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesive systems to demineralized dentin after the use of a papain-based chemomechanical method. METHODS 36 demineralized human dentin slabs were randomly distributed into two groups according to the method of caries removal: (1). Mechanical removal with manual excavators; (2) Chemomechanica...

statement of problem: despite the increasing demand for tooth-colored restorations in dentistry, polymerization shrinkage and marginal microleakage still remains a problem. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate microleakage in three different resin composites, p90, z250 and z250 xt, in class v cavity of permanent human premolars. materials and methods: standardized class ...

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate marginal sealing ability of newly introduced Dyad Flow flowable composite and compare to total-etch and self-etch adhesive system at the coronal and apical margins of class V resin composite restorations. Material and Methods A standard class V cavity (3 mm mesiodistal width, 3 mm occlusogingival height and 1.5 mm axial depth) was prepared on t...

objective: in this study, the effect of bur cutting efficacy was evaluated on microleakage of class v composite restorations with two adhesive systems. materials and methods: class v cavities were produced on sound extracted human teeth, which had been assigned randomly to one of six groups (n=15) as follows: groups 1 and 6 were prepared using used rough diamond bur; group 2 and 5 were prepared...

background: esthetic demands among patients have led to the introduction of tooth-colored restorations. composite resins bond to enamel applying acid etch technique. total etch adhesion systems are still considered as golden standard among bonding systems. however, clinicians have tendency towards using adhesive systems with a simplified application procedure. the aim of the present study is to...

BACKGROUND This study was carried out to evaluate the nanoleakage of two types of nanofilled adhesive systems in Class V composite resin restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Totally 60 human premolars were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 30). Standardized round Class V cavities (enamel and dentin margins) were prepared. A total-etch (N-Bond total etch) (Ivoclar Vivadent) and self-etching ...
