The evaluation of the performance of adhesive systems in enamel and dentin of primay teeth is justified by the differences in composition and micromorphology of these compared to permanent teeth. The difficulty of obtaining ...

This study is formatted into two parts: the aim of the first study was to evaluate a new approach (Sol-gel approach) to obtain an alternative material for air-abrasion (silica-coated with different concentrations aluminum ...

This study in vitro proposed to evaluate the influence of silica-based film coated on the Y-TZP surface on the durability bond strength (BS) between ceramic and resin cement. Eighty Y-TZP blocks (5x5x4 mm) were obtained, ...

The root canal preparation for placement of endodontical posts, more than in coronary preparations, produces smear layer rich in remains of dentine, filling materials and microorganisms, which may decrease the penetration ...

This study evaluated the effect of different surface treatments on the biaxial flexure strength and reliability of a ceramic Y-TZP by using Weibull analysis. In addition, the influence of these methods on the bond strength ...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of air-drying time on degree of evaporation of solvent (DE), microtensile resin-dentin bond strength (μTBS) and degree of conversion (DC) of adhesive systems. Methods: ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength to enamel and dentin of a self-adhesive resin cement applied with different cementation strategies, using a conventional resin cement as control. Material ...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different concentrations and etching times with hydrofluoric acid on the bond strength to resin cements and on the mechanical behavior of feldspathic, leucite-reinforced ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dentin pretreatment with chlorhexidine and sodium hypochlorite in the bond strength of adhesive systems. Seventy-two sound human third molars were divided in 12 groups ...

Recently, a new category of adhesive systems has been proposed to perform restorative procedures. These adhesives, named as universal have been released in the market with the purpose to decrease the technique sensitivity, ...
