Background: To date there is not a material considered ideal for the lased dentin. Objective: To compare the bond strength to human lased dentin of self-etch and etch-and-rinse adhesive systems, a self-adhesive resin composite and a glass-ionomer cement. Methods: Forty human molars were sectioned to obtain a 2 mm-thick slab of mid-coronal dentin. The occlusal surface of each slab was polished b...

To evaluate the interactive influence of adhesive materials and surface treatments on bond strength of zirconium oxide ceramics, six types of adhesive resin cements (RelyX ARC (RA), Super-Bond C & B (SB), Linkmax (LM), Panavia Fluoro Cement (PF), Bistite II (BT), and Imperva Dual (ID)), three types of resin-reinforced glass ionomer cements (Xeno Cem Plus (XC), Vitremer Luting (VR), and Fuji Lut...

Adhesive bond strengths of glass ionomer and polycarboxylate cements to human enamel and dentine were measured in vitro on untreated surfaces and on surfaces treated with cement liquid or polyacrylic acid, ferric oxalate, and ferric chloride. The bond strengths of two cements to enamel and dentine were increased by as much as 183 per cent by the use of surface treatments of polyacrylic acid and...

Since luting cement is used for fixing cast restorations to their abutments, the cement surface at the junction between cast and tooth is exposed to oral environment. The conventional cement so far used does not adhere to the tooth and is slightly soluble into saliva and gingival fluid1,2). Consequently, the microleakage and subsequent recurrent caries seem to develop at this junction. Recently...

BACKGROUND The use of resin-modified glass Ionomer cement in sandwich technique is widely practiced with the advent of various newer generation of composites the bond between resin-modified glass Ionomer and these resins should be validated. This study is done to evaluate the interfacial microgaps between different types of liners and dentin, liners and composite (Filtek p60 [FLp60]) using scan...

Different adhesive systems · used in cervical erosions without cavity preparation were evaluated. The material comprised three groups of patients who received a total of 146 restorations placed by the same operator (JK). Each patient within a group received the same number of restorations with two different types of materials. Type 1: a capsulated glass-ionomer cement (FujiCap 2). Type 2: no ac...

This study examined the effect of varying delayed polymerization times in combination with bracket manipulation on shear bond strength (SBS), degree of conversion (DC), and adhesive remnant index (ARI) score when using a resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) adhesive. Specimens were divided into three groups of clinically relevant delay times (0.5, 2, and 4-min) to simulate the delay that frequen...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether an amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)-containing adhesive has an acceptable level of shear bond strength to be used as an orthodontic adhesive. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty extracted premolars were randomly divided into three groups for orthodontic bonding. Group 1 used a composite resin adhesive (Transbond XT), group 2 was bonded with an ACP-containing adhesive (...

One of the critical goals of adhesive dentistry is to restore the peripheral seal of dentine that is interrupted when enamel is lost as a result of developmental sequelae, trauma, caries or operative intervention such as preparatory excision. For coronal lesions the exposed strata may be bounded by dentine, enamel or both. Manufacturers continue to work vigorously on resin formulations that wil...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This experimental study in a rabbit model aimed to investigate the use of glass ionomer cement as a tissue adhesive on the dorsal L-strut. STUDY DESIGN Sixteen adult male New Zealand White rabbits were used. The rabbits were equally divided into two groups as the control and the study groups. METHODS The nasal septum was exposed through a superior approach. A graft was...
