conclusion both adhesive systems showed good biological compatibility. background to investigate pulp response to the application of two types adhesive systems (total-etch and self-etch) in human premolar teeth. materials and methods cavities limited to enamel walls in all margins with 2.5 mm depth were prepared on buccal surfaces of thirty three human premolars. the cavities were treated with ...

The aim of this study was to compare the bond strength of translucent fiber posts to root dentin, cemented with 4 adhesion strategies. Forty eight (48) sound human central incisors were decoronated and divided into 4 groups: Etch-and-rinse group, two-step self-etch group, one-step self-etch group, and self-adhesive resin cement group. The adhesion between the post and root canal walls was asses...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of dentin pretreatment and temperature on the bond strength of a universal adhesive system to dentin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-six extracted non-carious human third molars were randomly divided into 12 groups (n=8) according to Scotchbond Universal Adhesive (SbU) applied in self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) mode, adhesive temperature (20°C or 37°C) a...

Restorative dentistry is mainly based on good adhesion between restorative materials and dental substrates; while adhesion to enamel is generally reliable, adhesion to dentin is less predictable (1) because of the presence of dentinal tubulis and the perfusion of liquids from it. Adhesion to dentin requires demineralization of peritubular and intertubular dentin to replace the demineralized lay...

AIM To evaluate the bond strength of one etch-and-rinse adhesive system and one resin-modified glass ionomer cement to sound and eroded enamel. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight bovine incisors were embedded in acrylic resin and ground to obtain flat buccal enamel surfaces. Half of the specimens were submitted to erosion challenge with pH-cycling model (3x/cola drink for 7 days) to induce ero...

objective: this study evaluated the influence of storage time on micro-shear bond strength of two self-etching materials to enamel and dentin. materials and methods: human third molar teeth were sectioned to 1.5 mm thick beams and randomly divided into 2 groups. in group i, se bond and in group ii, tri-s bond was used to bond a composite rod (ap-x) to each treated surface. specimens were prepar...

statement of the problem: monomer viscosity and solvent evaporation can be affected by the adhesive system temperature. higher temperature can elevate the vapor pressure in solution and penetration of adhesive in smear layer. bonding mechanism may be influenced by the adhesive temperature. purpose: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of pre-heating on shear bond strength of etch-and-rinse a...

BACKGROUND To compare the shear bond strength of brackets with and without enamel etching. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, 60 sound premolars were randomly divided into four different groups: 1- TXE group: Enamel etching+Transbond XT adhesive+ Transbond XT composite. 2- TXS group: Transbond plus self-etch adhesive+ Transbond XT composite. 3- PQ1E group: Enamel etching+ PQ1 adhesive+ Trans...

OBJECTIVE To compare postoperative sensitivity following composite restoration placed in supra gingival class-V cavities using self etch adhesive and total etch adhesive. STUDY DESIGN A randomized clinical trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Operative Dentistry Department of Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Rawalpindi, from July to December 2009. METHODOLOGY A total of 70 patients havi...
