The aims of the current study were to evaluate and compare bond strength of two conventional light cure adhesives and one reinforced glass ionomer cement. Thirty extracted human premolars were randomly divided into 3 groups. Premolar brackets were bonded to the tooth specimens in each group with their respective adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions. All specimens were stored in...

AIM To test the solubility of dual cure resin modified resin cement in a food simulating solution and the shear bond strength compared to conventional Glass ionomer cement. MATERIALS AND METHOD The materials tested were self-adhesive dual cure resin modified cement and Glass Ionomer (GIC). Twenty Teflon moulds were divided into two groups of tens. The first group was injected and packed with ...

The retention of both fluoride resins and resin-modified glass ionomer cements to dental tissues can be improved by the association of an adhesive system which promotes the bonding between the resin component and dentin, forming a hybrid layer. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate if the presence of the adhesive, being part of the hybrid layer composition, interfered with the fluor...

In this study, a newly developed S-PRG (surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer) filler-containing one-step adhesive, called SI (SI-IB551, Prototype), was evaluated regarding its fluoride release behavior. As a result, fluoride ion distribution in the tooth structures and acid resistance of cavity margins were also evaluated. In addition, Absolute (a fluoride-releasing one-step adhesive; AB) was eval...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate cuspal flexure in posterior primary teeth following restoration with three different materials. Twelve primary second molars were obtained. A precision strain gage was attached to the buccal surface of each tooth and balanced at zero. The teeth were mounted and then loaded with a 10 kg force; the strain appearing on the strain gage indicator was recorde...

In this clinical study, we evaluated the 3-year clinical performance of a resin composite containing a surface-prereacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler (Beautifil II; Shofu Inc., Kyoto, Japan) placed with a single-step self-etch adhesive (BeautiBond; Shofu Inc.) in posterior restorations. Using modified US Public Health Service criteria, two experienced investigators performed clinical evaluatio...

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the bond stability and change in interfacial ultra-structure a conventional glass-ionomer cement bonded dentin, with without pre-treatment using polyalkenoic acid conditioner. Methods occlusal dentin surfaces six teeth were ground flat. Glass-ionomer either or conditioning. sectioned into 1-mm2 stick-shaped specimens. specimens obtai...

AIM This study evaluated and compared the role of newer dental adhesives to bond composite resin to the resin modified glass ionomer (RMGIC) liner. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six specimens were prepared on acrylic blocks, with wells prepared in it by drilling holes, to retain the RMGIC. The specimens were randomly divided into three groups of 12 specimens each. In group I, a thin layer of a...
