The continuous technological advance and increasing availability of new dental self adhesive resin cement in the market, coupled to the demands of daily clinical practice, have made the determine mechanical properties. This study evaluated the shear bond strength of ceramics cemented by three different dental self-adhesive resin cements. Shear bond strength was measured with an Instron servo hy...

statement of problem: in order to increase the performance of glass ionomer cement, it is reinforced with metal powders, short fibers, bioceramics and other materials. fluoroapatite (ca10 (po4 )6 f2 ) is found in dental enamel and is usually used in dental materials due to its good chemical and physical properties. objectives: in this study, the effects of the addition of synthesized fluoroapat...

Although the adhesion phenomenon is crucial in achieving and maintaining a composite building on dental structure, this phenomenon is not completely understood. On the other hand, adhesion is dependent on the interface quality (the interface between enamel and adhesive). In this study, the authors approached the subject of the influence of adhesive clinical application on the composite-enamel i...

PURPOSE Manufacturers commonly provide information on the physical properties of dental materials, but information on their antibacterial properties is often missing. This study determined the antibacterial properties of four currently used orthodontic band cements against three different strains of Streptococcus mutans. METHODS The cements utilized were Durelon, Ketac, Mizzy Zinc Phosphate, ...

PURPOSE This study investigated the effects of luting cement type and thickness on the stress distribution within all-ceramic crowns using finite element analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS An all-ceramic crown restoration of the mandibular right first molar was prepared according to standard dental processes and scanned using micro-computed tomography. Eight 3D FE models were then developed that...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which affects the healing ability of the pulp and periodontium. The aim of the present study was to assess the histopathologic response of dental pulp to pulp capping using MTA or CEM cement in diabetic rats. Thirty two Wistar male rats aged between 8 and 10 weeks (weight: 200-250g) were divided into two groups of diabetic (n=16) and healthy (n=16) animals...

AIM To evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of two cements with a similar chemical composition to mineral trioxide aggregate and to attempt to improve their properties by producing a composite material. METHODOLOGY Two cement types were used: a mixture of calcium sulpho-aluminate cement and Portland cement (CSA) and calcium fluoro-aluminate cement (CFA) in conjunction with an admix...

BACKGROUND The selection of the appropriate luting cement is a key factor for achieving a strong bond between prepared teeth and dental restorations. AIM To evaluate the shear bond strength of Zinc phosphate cement Elite, glass ionomer cement Fuji I, resin-modified glass ionomer cement Fuji Plus and resin luting cement Panavia-F to Turkom-Cera all-ceramic material. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tur...
