Objectives Efforts towards achieving durable resin–dentin bonds have been made for
decades, including the understanding of the mechanisms underlying hybrid layer (HL) …

The quality of dental care and modern achievements in dental science depend strongly on
understanding the properties of teeth and the basic principles and mechanisms involved in …

Objective: The restoration of endodontically treated teeth has long been guided by empirical
rather than biomechanical concepts. Part I of this literature review presented up-to-date …

Bacteria have long been recognized as the primary etiological factor in the development of
pulp and periapical lesions. Successful root canal therapy depends on thorough …

Marine organisms harbor numerous bioactive substances that can be utilized in the
pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Scientific research on various applications of …

The stabilization of dentin collagen with biocompatible crosslinking agents may be of clinical
importance to improve dentin bond strength. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect …

Data have accumulated to show that various types of collagen crosslinking are implicated in
the health of individuals, as well as in a number of disease states, such as osteoporosis …

It is thought that increasing the strength of the dentin matrix using crosslinking agents may
improve both the strength and the durability of resin–dentin bonds. The purpose of this study …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) bound to dentin matrices are activated during adhesive
bonding procedures and are thought to contribute to the progressive degradation of resin …

Grape seed extract (GSE) contains proanthocyanidins (PA), which has been reported to
strengthen collagen-based tissues by increasing collagen cross-links. We used an in vitro …
