During polymerization of resin composites, shrinkage stresses compete with resin-dentin
bonds in a manner that can cause failure of the bond, depending upon the configuration of …

Objective. Due to polymerisation shrinkage of resin-based composites, a high configuration
factor in deep Class I cavities leads to a certain amount of stress when the material is …

Purpose: As polymerization shrinkage is compensated by flow of the composite, several
attempts have been performed for relief of the contraction stresses. The aim of this in vitro …

The current challenge in adhesive dentistry is to develop dentin bonding systems that will
reproducibly achieve high bond strengths similar to those obtained between resins and acid …

The local detail of the geometry of the adhesive interface can have a significant effect on the
measurement of dentin bond strengths and may be a contributory factor in the discrepancies …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect polymerization contraction
stress may have on bond durability. Methods: Bonding effectiveness was assessed by micro …

The relationship between the tensile bond strength (TBS) and three dentin characteristics:
remaining dentin thickness (RDT), Ca-concentration, and hardness, were investigated. Sixty …

Objectives. This study was conducted to determine the effect of the bonding area on the
micro-shear and micro-tensile bond strengths of four dentin adhesive systems (Scotchbond …

Purpose: The objective of this review article is to summarize the most recent concepts in
dentin bonding and, simultaneously, challenge some convictions that have not been backed …

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 …
