Background: Macro-bond strength tests resulted in cohesive failures and overestimation of
bond strengths. To reduce the flaws, micro-bond strength tests were introduced. They are …

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this paper is to undertake a literature search collecting all dentin
bond, strength data obtained for six adhesives with four tests (shear, microshear, tensile 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 …

The objective of this paper is to critically review the literature regarding the mechanics,
geometry, load application and other testing parameters of “micro” shear and tensile …

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 …

OBJECTIVES: Bond strength between adhesive systems and the tooth structure is
influenced by a large number of variables, which makes the comparison among studies …

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to describe all of the various modifications of the
microtensile bond test in one paper, so that investigators can select the modification that …

Dental adhesive systems should provide a variety of capabilities, such as bonding of
artificial materials to dentin and enamel, sealing of dentinal tubules, reduction of post …

Objectives: This study examined the effect of one-bottle adhesives with different acidities on
bonding to chemical-cured and light-cured resin composites. Methods: Twenty-four non …

Background: The rapid developments in the field of adhesive dental materials have led to
improvements in many aspects of clinical dentistry. Adhesive bond strength plays an …
