Introduction: Due to undeniable effect of surface treatment on restoration bond strength, this study was conducted to measure and compare the shear bond strength of hybrid ionomer and compomer using the three different methods of surface conditioning. Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, 72 samples were prepared from hybrid ionomer (Vitremer-3M) and compomer (Compoglass-Vivadent) re...

This research evaluated the influence of temporary cements (eugenol-containing [EC] or eugenol-free [EF]) on the tensile strength of Ni-Cr copings fixed with self-adhesive resin cement to the metal coronal substrate. Thirty-six temporary crowns were divided into 4 groups (n=9) according to the temporary cements: Provy, Dentsply (eugenol-containing), Temp Cem, Vigodent (eugenol-containing), Rely...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The bond strength between restorative material and tooth structure is so important for conduction of durable restoration. Considering the recent attention to low shrinkage composite resins, evaluation of micro tensile bond strength of these materials would be valuable. OBJECTIVES To compare the microtensile bond strength of silorane composite resin (Filtek P90) with the c...

Preeious metal alloys bondcd by the adhesive r'esin were thermocycled O, 1,OOO, 2,OOO, or 4,OOO times in water between 4 and 60°C , and tensile bend strengths were measurecl. Debonded metal surfaces after the tensile test were analyzed based on an area of cohcsive failure. Three-way ANOVA revealed that all the three parameters adherend, adhesive rnonemer, and nurnber of thermal cycles exhibited...

objective:   the aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength between metal brackets and non-glazed ceramic with three different surface treatment methods. materials and methods: forty-two non-glazed ceramic disks were assigned into three groups. group i and ii specimens were etched with 9.5% hydrofluoric acid. subsequently in group i, silane and adhesive were applied and in group ii, bo...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of three adhesive systems: Excite™, Adper Prompt L-Pop™ and AdheSE One™ to varying degrees of fluorotic enamel using micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) tests. Human enamel was classified according to the Thylstrup and Fejerskov Index. The interface resin-enamel was observed using stereoscopic and electron microscopy. The Excite™, achieved ...

In order to determine the quantitative relationship between sheet strength and lignin coverage at the fiber surface, CTMP was blended with softwood bleached kraft pulp (BKP), refined softwood BKP, and hardwood BKP. The morphology of the fibers, fibers properties, fiber surface components and relative bonded area of sheets were investigated. Multi-linear regression equations of tensile strength ...
