the effect of nanoparticle diamond incorporated in an experimental dental adhesive formulation is valuated by examining the mechanical properties and shear bond strength of the system. diamond nanoparticles were incorporated into the dentin adhesive system in different concentrations of 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 weight percentages. the suspensions were ultrasonicated to facilitate the nan...

nano materials have been widely used in laboratory and industrial scales in order to improve various properties of concrete and concrete mixture. the mainstream practice of the researches in this field is to add metallic nano-particles into the concrete mixture. the present research focuses on adding micro-nano air bubbles (mnab) into water before mixing it with aggregate and cement mixtures. i...

restorations were assessed using modified RygefUSPHS criteria, Subsequently, restorations were evuluated at recall intervals up to 18 months. Additionally, the measurement of tensile bond strength and the FE-SEM observation of resin-tooth interface were performed in vitro. At 18 months, all restorations were classified as clinically satisfactery and assignecl with an Alpha rating. Tensile bond ...

The objective of this paper is to critically review the literature regarding the mechanics, geometry, load application and other testing parameters of "micro" shear and tensile adhesion tests, and to outline their advantages and limitations. The testing of multiple specimens from a single tooth conserves teeth and allows research designs not possible using conventional 'macro' methods. Specimen...

To study the adhesion of epoxy resin based endodontic sealers by determining the tensile bond strength and evaluating the effect of smear layer removal on the adhesion of the endodontic sealers. Root canals of freshly extracted mandibular first premolar teeth with single root canal, were instrumented by using rotary instrument The roots were prepared for adhesion by splitting them and embedding...

In this research, the influence of adding micro- and nano- sized calcium carbonate powders to nylon-66 was investigated. Mechanical properties of micro and nano- composites, including tensile strength, elongation, and Young’s modulus, before and after ageing, were determined and analyzed. For this purpose, micro- and nano-sized CaCO3 particles were used as fillers to prepare micro-composites (c...

as it is seen, by passing the evolutionary process of banding of orthodontic attachments to the bonding ones, orthodontics have witnessed many developments, such as application of new adhesives, optimized base designs, new bracket materials, curing methods and more efficient primers. the studies often address the morphological, micro-leakage, and shear bond tests to evaluate bond efficacy. amon...

This study examined the effects of 3 mol % yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP) ceramic surface treatments on the tensile bond strength and surface characteristics of enamel. To measure the tensile bond strength, the 3Y-TZP and tooth specimens were manufactured in a mini-dumbbell shape and divided into four groups based on the type of 3Y-TZP surface treatment: polishing (P...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sealer application and thermal cycling on the bond strength between tissue conditioners and acrylic resin, and to observe the type of bond failure. Two hundred eighty-eight specimens (10x16x3 mm) were made of an acrylic resin (Lucitone 500, Dentsply) using a metal muffle. Specimens were divided into four groups according to the tissue conditio...
