resin- dentin interface hydrolysis is one of the greatest problems in restorative dentistry, because of collagenolytic and proteolytic activity of dentin enzymes. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of chx 2% and naocl 5% as rewetting agent on resin-dentin micro tensile bond strength.methods: 45 extracted, human caries-free third molar teeth were collected. after exposing of superfi...

objective: this study evaluated the effect of saliva contamination during bonding procedures without removing saliva on shear dentin bond strength of three adhesive generations when rubber dam isolation is not feasible. materials and methods: flat superficial dentin surfaces of seventy-two extracted human molars were randomly divided into three groups (a: scotch bond mp plus (sbmp), b: single b...

objective: the aim of this study was to compare the microtensile bond strengths (μ tbs) of three core materials with one lithium disilicate reinforced ceramic using two resin cements. methods: three core materials (nulite f® (biodental technologies), filtek z250® (3m-espe), prettau-anterior® (zirkonzhan, germany)) were prepared as blocks (10×10×4 mm3) according to the manufacturer’s instruction...

Objectives: Treatment of chipped or fractured porcelain with composite resin is considered as an economic treatment for minor fractures in ceramics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different ceramic surface treatments on bond strength of methacrylate-based and silorane-based composite resin to IPS Empress 2. Methods: Sixty IPS Empress 2 ceramic discs were fabrica...

objective: optimal dentin bonding is not always obtained in clinical practice due to func-tional forces. these forces may provide stresses throughout the tooth and restorative sys-tem, which in turn may affect the adhesive bond. this experimental study evaluated the effect of load cycling on bond strength of self-etch systems. materials and methods: one third of the coronal portions of 48 intac...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of an antimicrobial and fluoride-releasing self-etch primer (clearfil protect bond) and compare it with transbond plus self-etch primer and conventional acid etching and priming system. materials and methods: forty-eight extracted human premolars were divided randomly to three groups. in group 1, the teeth were bonded wit...
