this in-vitro study sought to assess the push-out bond strength of a total etch and 2 self-etch bonding systems to intracanal dentin of primary anterior teeth (pat).thirty-six primary anterior teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 5(th) generation (single bond 2), 6(th) generation (clearfil se) and 7(th) generation (single bond universal) bonding agents. the canal orifice was restored wi...

Background: Resin cements are widely used for cementation of FRC posts, but their bond strength can be influenced by cement type and cementation technique. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of type of resin cement and cementation technique on the bond strength of fiber posts. Methods: Forty five extracted mandibular premolars with a minimum roo...

statement of problem: following the increasing use of composites in restoring anterior and posterior teeth, problems due to its technique sensitivity have become a major concern. one of these problems is the possibility of contamination of dentin with saliva, blood and/or gingival fluid in different stages of bonding procedure, even with application of different methods of isolation. however, b...

objective: nowadays light-cured composites are used widely by orthodontists to bond brackets. as these composites require 20-40 seconds time per tooth to be light cured, more chair-time in needed compared to self-cured composites. in recent years, the argon laser and plasma arc lights have been introduced in dentistry to reduce this curing time. the purpose of this study was to compare bond str...

statement of problem: in some clinical situations, repair of composite restorations is treatment of choice. improving the bond strength between one new and old composite usually requires increased surface roughness to promote mechanical interlocking since chemical bonding might not be adequate. similarly, the treatment of a laboratory fabricated resin composite restoration involves the same pro...

o bjectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of salivary ph on the shear bond strength (sbs) of orthodontic brackets to tooth surface. materials and methods: eighty intact premolars were randomly divided into four groups of 20.  after bonding a bracket on each tooth, the groups one to four were stored in artificial saliva at a ph of 3.8, 4.8, 5.8, and 6.8, respectively for ...

objective: a clinical challenge of using zirconia frameworks is to achieve adequate bond with different substrates. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of bioglass and silica coating of zirconia substrates on microshear bond strength of resin cement to tetragonal zirconia. methods: this laboratory experimental study was conducted on zirconia discs. a total of 120 ytzp zirconia (zirkonzahn) ...

introduction: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of pretreatment with a neutral fluoride agent on shear bond strength (sbs) and microleakage of orthodontic brackets, and to investigate any significant relationship between sbs and microleakage. methods: forty intact premolars were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups. group 1 served as the control, while group 2 underwent treatment w...
