Objective Endogenous dentin collagenolytic enzymes, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)
and cysteine cathepsins, are responsible for the time-dependent hydrolysis of collagen …

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 …

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 …

Dental zirconia can no longer be considered un-bondable to tooth tissue. In literature, an
increasing number of papers indeed report on the bonding effectiveness of different luting …

Purpose To establish the fracture toughness (K1C) and flexural bond strength of
commercially available denture teeth to heat cured, CAD/CAM and 3D printed denture …

The following aims were set for this systematic literature review:(a) to make an inventory of
existing methods to achieve bondable surfaces on oxide ceramics and (b) to evaluate which …

Bond-strength testing is the method most used for the assessment of bonding effectiveness
to enamel and dentin. We aimed to disclose general trends in adhesive performance by …

Objectives This study aimed to systematically review the literature to compare the bond
strength values achieved from human and bovine teeth of in vitro studies. Data and source …

Statement of problem Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) can be used as a framework material for
fixed dental prostheses. However, information about the durable bond to veneering resins is …

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 …
