Adhesive systems are resin-based materials that reach their final mechanical properties
through a polymerization process. Previous literature correlated the failure of the adhesive …

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 …

Aim of the study was to compare the trimming and non‐trimming variants of the microtensile
technique with the 'micro'push‐out test in the ability to measure accurately the bond strength …

The term monoblock has become familiar in the endodontic literature with recent interest in
the application of dentin adhesive technology to endodontics. Endodontic monoblocks have …

The specific biomechanical alterations related to vitality loss or endodontic procedures are
confusing issues for the practitioner and have been controversially approached from a …

Cavity configuration factor (C-factor) is the ratio of the bonded surface area in a cavity to the
unbonded surface area. In a box-like class I cavity, there may be five times more bonded …

One of the recent trends in endodontics has been the development of bonded obturating
materials, in an effort to provide a more effective seal coronally and apically. Materials …

INTRODUCTION: Four generations of methacrylate resin–based sealers have been
available commercially. Three of these were introduced during the last 5 years when the …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the push-out bond strength and the sealing ability of five
adhesive cements routinely used for fiber-post bonding. METHODS: Fifty extracted single …

Abstract 'Adhesive'restorative dentistry originated with the work of Buonocore in 1955 in
bonding resin to etched enamel. Since then, adhesive materials and techniques have …
