This in vitro study evaluated the bond strength of adhesive restorative materials to sound and eroded dentin. Thirty-six bovine incisors were embedded in acrylic resin and ground to obtain flat buccal dentin surfaces. Specimens were randomly allocated in 2 groups: sound dentin (immersion in artificial saliva) and eroded dentin (pH cycling model - 3× / cola drink for 7 days). Specimens were then...

introduction: when aesthetics is compromised, dental ceramics are excellent materials for dental restorations; owing to their optical properties and biocompatibility, zirconia ceramics are particularly interesting. self-adhesive resin cements are the most suitable for bonding to zirconia ceramics, but traditional adhesive chemistry is ineffective and surface treatments are required to improve t...

Comparative studies on resin-dentin bond strength and failure mode were performed between the conventional tensile test and the microtensile test with non-trimming small specimens, 1 x 1 mm in cross-section, for two brands of dentin bonding systems. The fracture surface of the conventional large specimen showed a catastrophic cohesive failure in dentin at its center and a lesser adhesive failur...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine bonding properties of two types of fibre-reinforced composite (FRC) posts cemented into root canals of molars. Serrated titanium posts served as reference. METHODS Prefabricated carbon/graphite FRC posts with cross-linked polymer matrix and individually formed glass FRC posts with interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) polymer matrix were compa...

In this paper, the adhesive behaviour of different polyurethane glues was studied and compared. The study inspired by real conditions in production car windows, it is divided into several parts, which deal with three types adhesives. first type a standard one-component adhesive, cures air humidity. second addition curing accelerator. And third two-component adhesive. Adhesive blocks defined dim...

This study compared the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of three all-in-one adhesive systems and a two-step system using two types of burs to prepare the dentin surfaces. Flat coronal surfaces of 24 extracted human molars were produced using either regular-grit or superfine-grit diamond burs. Resin composite was then bonded to equal numbers of these surfaces using one of the four adhesives: C...

Adhesive resins for precious metals were prepared by adding an adhesion promoting monomer to MMA-PMMA/TBBO resin. Precious metal alloys bonded by the adhesive resin were thermocycled 0, 1,000, 2,000, or 4,000 times in water between 4 and 60 degrees C, and tensile bond strengths were measured. Debonded metal surfaces after the tensile test were analyzed based on an area of cohesive failure. Thre...

BACKGROUND Chip-off fracture of veneering porcelain has been described as the most frequent reason for the failure of zirconia-based fixed partial dentures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of two commercial zirconia core ceramics to their corresponding veneering ceramics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Zirconia disks with 7-mm diameter and 3-mm height were prepa...

Background and Aim: Debonding is the most commonly encountered failure in teeth restored with fiber posts that mainly occurs at the weakest interface (dentin-cement interface). Thus, reinforcement of this interface is mandatory. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different root dentin surface treatments after post space preparation on bond strength of fiber posts cemented with ...

statement of problem: following the increasing use of composites in restoring anterior and posterior teeth, problems due to its technique sensitivity have become a major concern. one of these problems is the possibility of contamination of dentin with saliva, blood and/or gingival fluid in different stages of bonding procedure, even with application of different methods of isolation. however, b...
