One often alleges that laboratory bond-strength testing cannot predict clinical effectiveness
of adhesives. Major argument to sustain this claim is the wide variation in bond-strength …

Abstract 'Bronze teeth'reflect the mechanical properties of natural teeth to a certain extent.
Their mechanical properties resemble those of a tough metal, and the gradient of these …

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 …

Purpose: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the absence and presence
of smear layers on bonds made to dentin using a self-etching primer system, Clearfil SE …

Dental adhesives are usually tested in shear or tension even though neither of these
approaches measures the local stress triggering failure. Because the stress level varies …

Objectives In-vivo experimental techniques to understand the biomechanical behavior of a
restored tooth, under varying oral conditions, is very limited because of the invasive nature …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the interfacial fracture toughness (IFT) of
composite cement with dispersed filler (DF) versus polymer-infiltrated ceramic network …

OBJECTIVES: The all-in-one adhesives are simplified forms of two-step self-etching
adhesive systems that must be air dried to remove solvent and water before curing. It was …

OBJECTIVE: To assess interfacial fracture toughness of different adhesive approaches and
compare to a standard micro-tensile bond-strength (μTBS) test. METHODS: Chevron …

Purpose: The effect of glass-fiber reinforcement and water storage on the fracture toughness
(K< sub> IC) of polymer-based provisional crown and fixed partial denture (FPD) materials …
