Background and Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate adhesion ability of resin-modified glass ionomer adhesive (Vitrebond) to ethanol-saturated dentin following two different surface conditioning regimes in term of microtensile bond

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the microleakage of occlusal resin composite and three glass ionomer/ resin composite techniques. Class I occlusal preparations were initiated on forty molar teeth. Teeth were randomly assigned to four groups of ten. Groups were restored as follow: 1) Solo Plus / Point 4 resin composite, 2) Fuji IX/ Fuji Bond LC/ Point 4, 3) Fuji IX/ Experimenta...

ARTICLE INFO Abstract Article History: Received 2 August 2015 Accepted 2 November 2015 Statement of Problem: There is no enough published data about the shear bond strength of resin modified glass ionomer adhesives on caries-affected primary tooth dentin excavated using minimally invasive systems. Objectives: To evaluate the shear bond strength of 2 different adhesives (one resin modified glass...

background: scuba diving is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pressure variations to which divers are exposed on the pull out strength of glass fiber post luted with different cements. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 120 extracted, single-rooted lower premolars were endodontically treated. they were randomly ...

Magnetic resonance micro-imaging was applied to study water diffusion into resin-modified glass ionomer cement restoration and to evaluate the effect of surface coating over restoration. Two cavities were prepared on the labial surface of extracted teeth and restored with resin-modified glass ionomer cement; one was protected with surface coating and the other was not. Immediately after restora...

background and aims. bleaching can considerably reduce shear bond strength (sbs) of orthodontic brackets bonded with composite adhesives. application of antioxidants is a method to reverse the negative effect of bleaching on composite-to-enamel bond. however, the efficacy of antioxidants in increasing the sbs of brackets bonded using resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (rmgic) has not been stud...

Objective: Removal of enamel superficial layer during microabrasion treatments may adversely affect sealing ability of the restorative materials. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of different periods of enamel microabrasion on the microleakage of class V glass-ionomer restorations. Methods: This in vitro experimental study was conducted on 96 Class V cavities which had been pr...
