the efficacy of correctly applied fissure sealants has been revealed in the prevention of caries. saliva and moisture contamination of the etched enamel surface before sealant placement can decrease the bonding strength of the sealant to the enamel. the aim of this study was to test the new bonding agents containing nano-fillers in order to reduce the negative effect of saliva contamination on ...

Introduction: This study evaluated microleakage of flowable and conventional composite in primary molar class II restorations using self-etch and total-etch bonding agents. Methods: Class II standard cavities were prepared on proximal surface of 48 primary molars. These cavities were restored using GrandioFlow and Grandio composites and Futurabond DC and Solobo...

BACKGROUND Newer dentin bonding agents were developed to improve the quality of composite restoration and to reduce time consumption in its application. The aim of the present study was to evaluate tensile bond strength of 6(th), 7(th) and 8(th) generation bonding agents by in vitro method. MATERIALS AND METHODS Selected 60 permanent teeth were assigned into 20 in each group (Group I: 6(th) g...

background: the current study evaluated the micro‑shear bond strengths of a new low‑shrinkage composite resin to dentin. materials and methods: in this in‑vitro study, 70 extracted premolars were assigned to one of seven groups ( n = 10): group 1: optibond solo plus (opt; kerr); group 2: se bond (se; kuraray); group 3: silorane system adhesive (ssa; 3m espe); group 4: optibond solo plus + ls bo...

objective: considering the fact that several bonding agents are available in market, clinical evaluations are required to find the durability of the sealants after using bonding agents. the purpose of this study was to compare the durability of the fissure sealant after applying two kinds of dentin bonding materials, adhese and excite. materials and methods: in this clinical study sample group ...

Background and Aim: Microleakage is a drawback of composite restorations and it is more noticeable in dentinal walls. Despite advances in dentin bonding agents, no adhesive can completely eliminate microleakage and provide a hermetic seal. This study aimed to compare microleakage of three resin bonding agents namely a universal adhesive, two-step self-etch system and two-step total-etch system....
