The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that both human and bovine sclerotic dentin have similar hardness properties, in addition to similar micromorphological characteristics. Sixteen teeth (8 human and 8 bovine) exhibiting exposed dentin in the incisal edge and showing characteristics typical of sclerosis were used. Vickers surface microhardness testing was conducted.

This study compared the fracture strength of dehydrated and rehydrated tooth fragments submitted to two different bonding techniques.
Materials And Methods: Sixty human central and lateral mandibular incisors were divided into six groups and sectioned 3 mm from the incisal edge, using a diamond disk.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the surface treatment and acid conditioning (AC) time of bovine sclerotic dentine on the micro-tensile bond strength (micro-TBS) to an etch and rinse adhesive system.
Materials And Method: Thirty-six bovine incisors were divided into six groups (n=6): G1 sound dentine submitted to AC for 15s; G2-G6 sclerotic dentine: G2-AC for 15s; G3-AC for 30s; G4-EDTA and AC for 15s; G5-diamond bur and AC for 15s; G6-diamond paste and AC for 15s. An adhesive system was applied to the treated dentine surfaces followed by a hybrid composite inserted in increments and light cured.
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the superficial morphology of bovine and human sclerotic dentine.
Design: For the morphological analysis, bovine (n = 3) and human (n = 3) incisors exhibiting exposed dentine were used. Dentine presented characteristics of sclerosis: brownish, smooth and shiny--the vitreous appearance.
