Since the early days of microbiology, more than a century ago, representatives of over 400
different microbial species have been isolated and fully characterized from human …

Literature data on adherence tests of dentin-bonding systems (DBS) may differ widely, even
for the same DBS. The problem of bond testing is that materials are seldom compared with a …

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to test the null hypothesis that there is no
relationship between the bonded surface area of dentin and the tensile strength of adhesive …

Tensile bond strength measurements are commonly used for the evaluation of dentin
adhesive systems. Most tests are performed using extracted non-carious human or bovine …

The long-term durability of bonds between adhesive resins and dentin is of significant
importance for the longevity of bonded restorations. We carried out an in vivo one-year study …

Objective. To determine the effect of dentin smear layers created by various abrasives on the
adhesion of a self-etching primer (SE) and total-etch (SB) bonding systems. Methods …

The adhesive luting of tooth-colored posterior restorations has long been considered an
unreliable clinical procedure. The physical and clinical properties of former base lining …

Purpose: This study examined the polymerization kinetics of acid-contaminated light-and
chemically-cured resins with the use of differential scanning calorimetry. Materials and …

Purpose: When restoring hypomineralized first permanent molars, placement of cavosurface
margins can be difficult to ascertain due to uncertainty of the bonding capability of the tooth …

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the method of light curing could
influence:(a) marginal sealing and resin composite adaptation to the cavity wall;(b) …
