Background and Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of repeated bonding by self-etching primers (SEPs) and a conventional phosphoric acid-etchant on shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and enamel morphology at different debonding time points. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 120 premolars were randomly divided into six groups of 20. In the first t...

different techniques have been introduced for the removal of ceramic brackets. since the early 1990s, lasers have been used experimentally for debonding ceramic brackets. the goal of this study is to give a comprehensive literature review on laser-aided ceramic bracket debonding. pubmed and google scholar databases were used to identify dental articles with the following combination of key word...

Background and Aim: Fractured metal-ceramic restorations may be repaired with composite in some cases to postpone the fabrication of a new restoration. Knowledge about the bond strength can help predict the success rate of this treatment modality. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of two types of mechanical surface treatment of metal along with the use of different adhesive systems...

adequate bond strength between glass ionomer cements and composite resin is necessary for the success of the sandwich technique.this study assessed the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin to glass-ionomer cements (gic) using self-etch adhesives with different ph values.one hundred specimens (6×4×2 mm) were made using fuji ii and fuji ii lc gics and treated with different adhesives as f...

The lap shear strength of chromic acid anodized, primed, Ti-6Al-4V alloy bonded with a high performance FM-5 polyimide adhesive has been investigated as a function of thermal treatment for selected times at various temperatures in air. The research findings indicate that the lap shear strength decreases with the increase in duration of the thermal treatment at constant temperature and with the ...

objective: ceramics have advantages such as optimal esthetics and biocompatibility. however, in the oral environment, they are subjected to high levels of stress due to masticatory forces, saliva, thermal changes and alterations of ph, which increase their risk of fracture. since replacement of these restorations is costly and time-consuming, composite resin is often used for intraoral repair o...

External bonding of carbon fiber sheets has become a popular technique for strengthening concrete structures all over the world. Epoxy adhesive, which is used to bond the carbon fiber sheets and concrete, deteriorates rapidly when being exposed to high temperatures. This paper presents a high-temperature-resistant modified magnesia-phosphate cement (MPC) with the compressive strength that does ...

Modeling the tensile strength of paper has been a topic of interest over the last few decades. Fibre properties and fibre network properties are the two main sets of inputs required for any such analytical model. Out of these, the most difficult quantity to measure is the “Fibre-Fibre Shear Bond Strength”. No reliable method exists for the measurement of this quantity. This paper reports a simp...

introduction: resin cements are generally preferred for cementation of zirconia ceramics. resin bonding of zirconia ceramics cannot be done with the same methods of traditional ceramics because zirconia is a silica-free material. in recent years, many methods have been reported in the literature to provide the resin bonding of zirconia ceramics. the purpose of this in vitro study is to evaluate...

o bjectives: bond strength of composite resin to enamel and dentin of primary teeth is lower than that to permanent teeth; therefore, it may compromise the ad- hesive bonding. new methods, such as laser application have been recently intro- duced for tooth preparation. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of tooth preparation with bur and er:yag laser on shear bond strength of c...
