The purpose of this article is to review evidence-based principles that could help optimize dentin bonding for indirect composite and porcelain restorations. More than 30 articles were reviewed, most of them addressing the specific situation of dentin bonding for indirect restorations. It appears that the combined results of this data plus clinical experience suggest the need for a revision in ...

AIM To evaluate whether objective data could be obtained regarding internal pressure conditions of a molar tooth with canals prepared but not filled exposed to reduced barometric pressures that could be experienced by aircrew. METHODOLOGY The root canals of five mandibular molars were prepared but not filled. Root apices were sealed with a resin-modified glass-ionomer liner and root surfaces ...

This study evaluated the effects of the light curing methods and resin composite composition on composite polymerization contraction behavior and resin composite adaptation to the cavity wall using μCT-3D visualization analysis and dye penetration test. Cylindrical cavities were restored using Clearfil tri-S Bond ND Quick adhesive and filled with Clearfil AP-X or Clearfil Photo Bright composite...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the regional bond strength of a dual-cure resin core material to root canal dentin using four self-etching primer/adhesive systems. Post spaces were prepared in extracted premolars, and their root canal dentin was treated with one of the following self-etching primer/adhesive systems: ED Primer II and Clearfil Photobond, photo-cure/dual-cure systems of ...

In the placental villus, cells attach to basement membrane via integrin alpha6beta4 and adhere both laterally and apically to their neighbours. The most prominent adhesive specialisation seen using the electron microscope is the desmosome, which connects cytotrophoblast cells (CTB) laterally and also contributes to the attachment of CTB to the overlying syncytium. However, numerous cadherins an...

The aim of this study was evaluate in vitro the influence of simplified adhesive systems (etch-and-rinse and self-etching) and 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) on the microshear bond strength (μ-SBS) of composite resins on primary molars and incisors. Forty primary molars and forty incisors vestibular enamel was treated with either the self-etching Clearfil SE Bond (CSE, Kuraray) or et...

This work deals with the influence of specific pressure during the press process on the radial and tangential penetration of urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesive into poplar, as well as on the shear strength of lap joints prepared at these different pressures. An epi-fluorescence microscope was used for measuring the adhesive penetration when investigating microtome slides (20-μm thick) cut from the...
