Effect of resin coating on dentin bonding of resin cement in Class II cavities.

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of resin coating on the regional microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of a resin cement to the dentin walls of Class II cavities. Twenty mesio-occlusal cavities were prepared in human molars. In 10 cavities, a resin coating consisting of a self-etching primer bonding system, Clearfil SE Bond, and a low-viscosity microfilled resin, Protect Liner F, was applied.

Retrospective study of the 10-year clinical performance of direct resin composite restorations placed with the acid-etch technique.

Objective: To assess the 10-year clinical performance of resin composite restorations placed using the acid-etch technique.

Method And Materials: Clinical evaluation of 58 resin composite restorations was performed by 9 operators of the Operative Dentistry Clinic of the Dental Hospital, Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Conservative preparations had been made and a total-etch adhesive system used for the resin composite restorations, which were placed in 1992 in the Operative Dentistry Clinic.

Retrospective study of five-year clinical performance of direct composite restorations using a self-etching primer adhesive system.

This study was conducted to assess the five-year clinical performance of composite restorations using a self-etching primer adhesive system, Clearfil Liner Bond II. Restorations were rated using the following scale: A--Good; B--Clinically acceptable; C--Clinically unacceptable; or D--Already replaced. The ratings were analyzed using Freedman's test (p=0.

Effects of smear layer and surface moisture on dentin bond strength of a waterless all-in-one adhesive.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of a waterless all-in-one adhesive system, Absolute, to dentin. Eighteen human molars were either ground with 600-grit SiC paper or cut with a diamond bur. The following dentin bonding procedures were then performed: dentin surface was kept moist; dentin surface was dried; or dentin surface was dried but equivalent amount of water was added to the adhesive (1:1 by volume).

Microtensile bond strength of a filled vs unfilled adhesive to dentin using self-etch and total-etch technique.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a filled adhesive (One-Step Plus; Bisco) versus an unfilled adhesive (One-Step; Bisco) on the microtensile bond strength (muTBS) to dentin using total-etch (Uni-etch; Bisco) and self-etch (Tyrian SPE; Bisco) techniques.

Methods: Twenty extracted human third molars were ground flat to expose occlusal dentin. After the dentin surfaces were polished with 600-grit SiC paper, the teeth were randomly assigned to four groups according to the bonding agent and technique being used.

Microtensile bond strength of dual-cure resin cement to root canal dentin with different curing strategies.

The purpose of this study was to measure the bond strength of dual-cure resin cement at different regions of root canal dentin using three kinds of curing method. Thirty-six extracted bovine teeth were used. Each root was sectioned vertically into halves.

The resin-coating technique. Effect of a single-step bonding system on dentin bond strengths.

Purpose: An experimental single-step bonding system, RZ-II, has been developed as a resin coating material for crown preparation. The purpose of this study was to compare the dentin microtensile bond strengths (MTBSs) of RZ-II in direct and indirect use.

Materials And Methods: Human molar dentin was used.

The durability of a fluoride-releasing resin adhesive system to dentin.

The durability of a fluoride-free (SE Bond) and a fluoride-containing (KBF) self-etching primer/ adhesive system were compared by measuring the microtensile bond strengths (microTBS) of these adhesive systems to human dentin in vitro. After bonding, the restored teeth were serially sectioned into multiple slabs that were trimmed to a 1 mm2 cross-sectional area at the bonded interface. For the three and six month specimens, half were fully covered with nail varnish (SE+, KBF+), while the other half were incubated at 37 degrees C in water without any protective varnish (SE-, KBF-).

The in vitro dentin bond strengths of two adhesive systems in class I cavities of human molars.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro dentin bond strengths of two dentin bonding systems in Class I cavities following fatigue load cycling (FLC) with thermal cycling (TC).

Materials And Methods: Class I cavities were prepared in 12 human molars and restored with either Clearfil SE Bond (SE) and Clearfil AP-X resin composite (AP-X) or Single Bond (SB)/AP-X according to the manufacturers' instructions. After water storage for 1 week, untreated controls and test samples were subjected to 50,000 FLC with TC from 5 degrees C to 55 degrees C for 625 cycles and stored in water for 1 week.
