Shear bond strength and quantitative microleakage of a multipurpose dental adhesive system resin bonded to dentin.

The shear bond strengths of a dental bonding system used in conjunction with a composite resin bonded to dentin were determined 1 minute after irradiation and after storage in saline at 37 degrees C for 24 hours, 1 week without and with temperature cycling, and 4 weeks without and with temperature cycling. The quantitative microleakage of class V preparations in cementum (dentin) restored with the system was determined by a spectrophotometric dye-recovery method. Excellent shear bond strengths ranging from 13.

Laboratory evaluation of the Gluma 3-step bonding system.

Purpose: To determine in vitro (1) the shear bond strengths (SBS) of the modified Gluma system to enamel and dentin; (2) the qualitative and the quantitative microleakage (ML) of Class V preparations on the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and in dentin, respectively, restored with the Gluma system; and (3) the effect of the system's components on enamel and dentin by scanning electron microscopy.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five extracted human maxillary permanent central incisors and 75 permanent first and second molars were embedded in brass tooth cups with cold-cure acrylic resin. The facial surfaces of the anterior and the occlusal surfaces of the molar teeth were ground wet on 180- followed by 600-grit silicon carbide paper.

Laboratory evaluation of the A.R.T. bonding system.

Purpose: To determine (1) the in vitro shear bond strengths of the A.R.T.

Laboratory evaluation of the XR-Bond Dentin/Enamel Bonding System.

The shear bond strengths of the XR-Bonding System used in conjunction with Herculite composite, to the dentine of forty extracted human permanent first and second molars were determined after the test specimens were stored in physiological saline at 37 degrees C for 48 hours, one week, two weeks and four weeks, respectively. A shear load was applied to the base of the bonded composite cylinders with a knife-edged rod at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/minute.

Laboratory evaluation of phosphate ester bonding agents.

Two dentin bonding agents that contain phosphorus esters, (Clearfil Photo Bond and Panavia), and a bonding agent for porcelain, (Clearfil Porcelain Bond), have been introduced for bonding to enamel, dentin, amalgam, cast metal alloys and porcelain. The shear bond strengths were determined to enamel (Procedure A), to dentin (Procedure B), to amalgam (Procedure C), of amalgam to dentin (Procedure D), to cast metal alloy (Procedure E) and to porcelain (Procedure F). Also the quantitative microleakage of Class V restorations in cementum (dentin) was evaluated (Procedure G).
