Purpose: To evaluate the effect of different hydrofluoric (HF) acid concentrations in the contact angle and in the durability of bond strength between feldspathic ceramic and resin cement, as well as the impact on the ...

With the increasing demand of the population for dental bleaching and concomitant evolution of adhesive systems, has increasingly sought to know more about the relationship between bleaching and esthetic restorations. ...

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 ...

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, ...

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, ...

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the simulation of cariogenic challenge on bond strength of adhesive systems to sound and demineralized enamel of primary and permanent teeth. ...

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 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 ...

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: ...

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 ...
