OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article was to review the fluoride release and recharge
capabilities, and antibacterial properties, of fluoride-releasing dental restoratives, and …

Bonding to tooth tissue can be achieved through an “etch&rinse,”“self-etch” or “glass-
ionomer” approach. In this paper, the basic bonding mechanism to enamel and dentin of …

Aim To evaluate the adhesive bond integrity (shear bond strength-SBS) of composite resin
bonded to carious dentin using chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), Er, Cr: YSGG laser (ECYL) …

Microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test was introduced in 1994. Since then, it has been
utilized profoundly across many bond strength testing laboratories, making it currently one of …

The wetness of dentin surfaces, the presence of pulpal pressure, and the thickness of dentin
are extremely important variables during bonding procedures, especially when testing bond …

Results from clinical studies suggest that more than half of the 166 million dental
restorations that were placed in the United States in 2005 were replacements for failed …

Objectives Remineralization of demineralized dentin is important for improving dentin
bonding stability and controlling primary and secondary caries. Nevertheless, conventional …

In dentin bonding, contemporary dental adhesive systems rely on formation of the hybrid
layer, a biocomposite containing dentin collagen and polymerized resin adhesive. They are …

Objectives: The objectives of this paper are to review the structure of dentine as it pertains to
adhesive bonding and to describe the importance of resin permeation into dentinal tubules …
