Repair bond strength of a new self-adhesive composite resin to three different resin-matrix ceramic CAD-CAM materials.

This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength of two flowable composite resins to resin-matrix ceramic CAD-CAM materials.Fifty-four plates obtained from Lava Ultimate (LU), Cerasmart (CS), and Vita Enamic (VE) CAD-CAM blocks were assigned to nine groups: N0: Nova Compo SF (NCSF), N1: Silane/Single Bond Universal (SBU)/NCSF, N2: SBU/NCSF, N3: Silane/G-Premio Bond (GPB)/NCSF, N4: GPB/NCSF, G1: Silane/SBU/G-aenial Universal Injectable Composite (GUIC), G2: SBU/GUIC, G3: Silane/GPB/GUIC, G4: GPB/GUIC. After the repair procedures, shear bond strength values were analyzed.

Comparative evaluation of resin infiltration and fluoride varnish treatment for moderate to high caries risk adults: A randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the arresting effect of micro-invasive (resin infiltration) and non-invasive (fluoride varnish) treatment options on non-cavitated proximal lesions in individuals with moderate to high risk of caries. In addition, the study evaluated the effect of repeated dental examinations and oral hygiene motivation on daily flossing, brushing frequency, dietary habits, and gingival status.

Methods: The study was a randomized, controlled, prospective, and parallel-designed clinical trial.

Effects of different storage media on dentin moisture, microhardness, and bond strength of resin composite.

Background: In in vitro studies, it is desirable that the storage solutions in which dental samples kept between extraction and experiment should prevent dehydration and have antimicrobial properties. However, it should be taken into consideration that these solutions may have some effects that directly change test results on physical and mechanical properties of laboratory samples.

Aims: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different storage media on dentin moisture, microhardness, and microshear bond strength of resin composite to dentin.

A 3-year randomized clinical trial evaluating two different bonded posterior restorations: Amalgam versus resin composite.

Objective: To compare the performance and postoperative sensitivity of a posterior resin composite with that of bonded amalgam in 40 (n = 20) large sized cavities and to evaluate whether resin composite could be an alternative for bonded amalgam.

Materials And Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial. Twenty patients in need of at least two posterior restorations were recruited.

Effect of storage solutions on microhardness of crown enamel and dentin.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine alterations in microhardness of crown dentin and enamel, after 2 and 12-month storage in de-ionized water, 0.2% glutaraldehyde, Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS), 0.1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) or 0.
