Influence of Natural Dentin Biomodification Agent on Push-Out Bond Strength and Nanoleakage of Self-Adhesive Resin Cement Luting of Glass-Fiber Posts.

Objective: To evaluate the plant-derived compound lignin (LIG) as a pretreatment of intraradicular dentin in combination with EDTA on push-out bond strength (PBS) and nanoleakage of the glass fiber posts (GFPs) cemented using adhesive resin cement.

Material And Methods: Twenty-eight human incisor roots were prepared for GFP cementation and divided based on dentin pretreatment: (1) CONTROL: no pretreatment, (2) EDTA: 17% EDTA for 3 min, (3) EDTA-LIG: 17% EDTA and 2% lignin for 3 min, (4) EDTA-PAC: 17% EDTA and 2% lignin for 3 min. The GFPs were cemented using the self-adhesive resin cement Multilink Speed.

Impact of silanization of different bioactive glasses in simplified adhesives on degree of conversion, dentin bonding and collagen remineralization.

Objective: To analyze simplified adhesive containing pure or silanized bioglass 45S5 (with calcium) or Sr-45S5 (strontium-substituted) fillers applied on dentin and to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (µTBS), interface nanoleakage, degree of conversion of adhesive, collagen degradation and remineralization.

Methods: Ambar Universal adhesive (FGM) was doped with 10 wt% bioactive glasses to form following groups: Control (no bioglass), 45S5 (conventional bioglass 45S5), Sr-45S5 (Sr-substituted bioglass 45S5), Sil-45S5 (silanized bioglass 45S5) and Sil-Sr-45S5 (silanized bioglass Sr-45S5). Adhesives were applied after dentin acid-etching using phosphoric acid at extracted human molars.

Collagen Cross-Linking Lignin Improves the Bonding Performance of Etch-and-Rinse Adhesives to Dentin.

To evaluate the biomodification ability of lignin used as pre-treatment in human dentin before the application of an etch-and-rinse adhesive. Experimental hydroethanolic solutions with different cross-linking agents were used: 6.5% proanthocyanidins (PAC, from grape-seed extract); 2% cardanol (CARD, from cashew-nut shell liquid); lignin (LIG, from eucalyptus) at 1, 2 or 4% concentrations.

Dental Pulp Autotransplantation: A New Modality of Endodontic Regenerative Therapy-Follow-Up of 3 Clinical Cases.

The aim of this study was to develop a novel method of endodontic therapy, which we refer to as dental pulp autotransplantation. Three patients (2 males and 1 female) were selected for endodontic treatment of a uniradicular premolar and extraction of a third molar (without odontosection). Electric assessment of pulp vitality and computed tomographic imaging were undertaken followed by endodontic access and instrumentation using triantibiotic solution for irrigation in the host tooth.

Intraradicular Dentin Biomodification with Natural Agents for Bonding Glass-fiber Posts.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of pretreatment with different crosslinking agents on glass-fiber-post adhesive luting.

Materials And Methods: Single-rooted human teeth (n = 20) were randomly assigned to four groups: proanthocyanidins (PA) from grape-seed extract, cardol and cardanol (separated from cashew nut-shell liquid) and negative control (hydroethanolic solution). The solutions were applied on 37% phosphoric acid-etched dentin for 60 s.

Dentin bonding and physicochemical properties of adhesives incorporated with epigallocatechin-3-gallate.

The aim was to assess dentin adhesion and physicochemical properties of experimental etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesives doped with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a well-known collagen crosslinker obtained from green tea (Camellia sinensis). Experimental adhesives were prepared without (0 wt%), with 0.1 or 0.

Micro-Raman Vibrational Identification of 10-MDP Bond to Zirconia and Shear Bond Strength Analysis.

So far, there is no report regarding the micro-Raman vibrational fingerprint of the bonds between 10-methacryloyloxy-decyl dihydrogen phosphate (10-MDP) and zirconia ceramics. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the Raman vibrational peaks related to the bonds of 10-MDP with zirconia, as well as the influence on microshear bond strength. Micro-Raman spectroscopy was employed to assess the vibrational peak of 10-MDP binding to zirconia.
