adequate bond strength between glass ionomer cements and composite resin is necessary for the success of the sandwich technique.this study assessed the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin to glass-ionomer cements (gic) using self-etch adhesives with different ph values.one hundred specimens (6×4×2 mm) were made using fuji ii and fuji ii lc gics and treated with different adhesives as f...

background and aims: we aimed to assess the bond strength of composite resin to three pulp capping biomaterials; proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (pmta), root mta (rmta) and calcium enriched mixture (cem), using three bonding systems [a total etch (single bond) and two self-etch systems (protect bond and se bond)]. materials and methods: ninety acrylic moulds containing a 6×2 mm hole were div...

This investigation was aimed at studying the effect of test methods on bond strength between concrete substrate and repair material. Four test methods with cementations or modified-cementations repair materials, and two surface roughnesses were studied. The methods used were pull-off, slant shear, splitting prism and a new direct shear named Bi-Surface shear test. While the coefficient of varia...

INTRODUCTION Various bulk-fill materials depending on their composition, viscosity, and flow ability have different physical and mechanical properties. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine and compare the shear bond strength and microleakage properties of activa restorative with other bulk-fill restorative materials surefil (SDR), Biodentine, ever X posterior. MATERIALS AND METHODS...

abstract statement of problem: bleaching systems with different concentrations and applications are widely used to improve the visual appearance of the teeth, but one of the complications of these materials is reduction of bond strength for immediately bonding to the bleached enamel. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of using different modified hydrogen peroxide bl...

OBJECTIVE Bond failure of brackets during orthodontic treatment is a common problem; which results in treatment interference, increased treatment time and prolonged clinical time for rebonding of failed brackets. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Coca-Cola and a non-alcoholic beer on the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index (ARI) of orthodontic metal brackets in...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: According to the effect of the adhesive and substrate type on the bond strength, examination of the adhesive is required in all aspects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of different adhesive systems to normal dentin (ND) and caries affected dentin (CAD) in permanent teeth. METHODS: Thirty extracted molars with small occlusal caries were selected...

Introduction: Effect of zinc oxide-eugenol (ZO-E) on bond strength of composite is equivocal. The aim of the present study was to determine if ZO-E affects shear bond strength. Methods: For the purposes of the study, extracted human molar teeth were ground so thatcomposite rods could be bonded to dentine. In group 1, dentine was not exposed to ZO-E. In group 2,...
