The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (microTBS) to human dentin of an experimental bonding agent containing calcium phosphates experimentally developed for direct pulp capping. Different concentrations of four types of calcium phosphates were added to an experimental bonding monomer, and six experimental bonding agents were thus prepared. Clearfil SE Bond/Bon...

PURPOSE This study evaluated, in vitro, the capacity of a dentin bonding agent to improve the bond strength of orthodontic brackets using air abrasion enamel preparation. METHODS Each of the enamel surfaces received a different treatment prior to bonding procedures. Group 1 received acid-etched with 38% phosphoric acid for 30 seconds. Group 2 received acid-etched with 38% phosphoric acid for ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to compare the effect of fifth and seventh generation bonding agent on sealant success. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four school children aged six to nine years received sealants in four permanent molars in a split mouth design, such that each patient received sealant in the first permanent molar with fifth generation bonding agent in one arch and seventh ge...

OBJECTIVE Recurrent caries at the margins is a primary reason for restoration failure. The objectives of this study were to develop bonding agent with the double benefits of antibacterial and remineralizing capabilities, to investigate the effects of NACP filler level and solution pH on Ca and P ion release from adhesive, and to examine the antibacterial and dentin bond properties. METHODS Na...

AIM To find an alternative to popular orthodontic bonding agent composite resin and elimination of acid etching. To assess GC Fuji Ortho as an orthodontic bonding agent under different enamel conditions and evaluate the shear bond strength. Enamel surfaces intentionally contaminated with saliva, conditioned enamel using Fuji dentin conditioner and conventional 37% phosphoric acid/60 seconds. To...

OBJECTIVE To determine the fracture resistance of endodontically treated anterior teeth restored with a novel nonmetallic post in combination with self-etching adhesives. MATERIALS AND METHODS Extracted maxillary anterior teeth were sterilized with gamma irradiation, and each crown was severed 2 mm above the cementoenamel junction. Endodontic treatment was performed, and the teeth were divide...

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite is an attractive material for strengthening various civil infrastructures. The system that based on FRP composites consists of many elements. These are: (FRP), strengthened element (concrete, steel, wood, etc) and bonding agent. latter the most important elements which affect performance whole system. Different types agent are used service conditions. Ep...
