Effects of sodium copper- and sodium iron-chlorophyllin primers on resin bonding to dentin.

This study evaluated the effects of two chlorophyll derivatives, sodium copper chlorophyllin (Cu-Chl) and sodium iron chlorophyllin (Fe-Chl), on the bond strength between a self-curing luting agent (4-META/MMA-TBB resin) and dentin. Five aqueous primers containing 35% 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate with 0.007% Cu-Chl, 0.

Effects of tetrabutylammonium dihydrogen trifluoride etchant on bond strengths of resin composites with Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr alloys.

Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating the effects of surface treatments with tetrabutylammonium dihydrogen trifluoride (TDTF) on the bond strengths of indirect resin composites with titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) and cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys.

Methods: Disk-shaped Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr alloy specimens were air-abraded with alumina, treated with an etchant (MEP) containing TDTF for 10 s (MEP10) or 30 s (MEP30), and rinsed with water. Subsequently, a primer containing 6-methacryloyloxyhexyl phosphonoacetate was applied to the surfaces, and the specimens were veneered with a light-curing indirect resin composite.

Eight-year clinical evaluation of two types of resin composite in non-carious cervical lesions.

Objectives: In this clinical study, the 8-year clinical performances of a flowable resin composite was compared with that of a conventional resin composite.

Materials And Methods: Ninety non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) in 19 participants were involved in this trial. NCCLs were restored with a flowable composite (Clearfil Flow FX: FX, Kuraray Noritake, Japan) or a conventional resin composite (Clearfil AP-X: AP) in conjunction with a one-step self-etch adhesive (Clearfil S3 Bond).

Effects of two methyl methacrylate-tributylborane-based luting agents with a silane-phosphate primer on bonding of four different CAD/CAM resin composite materials.

Purpose: This study compared the bond strengths of four adhesive systems and four different resin composite block materials: Gradia Block (GR), Shofu Block HC (SH), Estelite Block (ES), and KZR-CAD HR2 (KZ).

Methods: A primer (PZ-AB) containing a silane (γ-MPTS) with 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) was applied to ground surfaces of the resin composite block specimens, and the specimens were then bonded to stainless-steel rods using two methyl methacrylate-tributylborane (MMA-TBB)-based luting agents (SB and MT), designated as the PZ-AB/SB and PZ-AB/MT adhesive systems, respectively. The SB resin contained 4-methacryloyloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride (4-META), whereas the MT resin did not.

Influence of composition and powder/water ratio on adhesion strength and initial viscosity of powder-type denture adhesives based on CMC-Na and PVM-MA.

We evaluated the influence of the composition and powder/water (P/W) ratio of powder-type denture adhesives (DA) based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) and poly(methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride) (PVM-MA) on the strength of adhesion to acrylic resin and initial viscosity. Twenty types of DA were prepared by mixing CMC-Na and PVM-MA at various weight ratios with distilled water in P/W ratios ranging from 0.125 to 0.

Bioactive glass coating on zirconia by vacuum sol-dipping method.

In order to the preparation of biodegradable, bioactive and strongly adhered coating layer to the bioinert zirconia substrate, a bioactive glass (BG) was successfully coated on the zirconia plates. To achieve this goal, the zirconia plates dipped into the 45S5 BG sol in the vacuum chamber (vacuum sol-dipping method) followed by sintering to fabricate a strongly adhered BG coating on the zirconia plates. The parameters such as surface morphology and BG coating coverage ability on the zirconia plates have been assessed before and after coating with 45S5 BG.

Effect of tetrabutylammonium dihydrogen trifluoride treatment on durability of resin-titanium bond strengths.

This study investigated the effect of titanium surface treatment with tetrabutylammonium dihydrogen trifluoride (TDTF) on the bond between the titanium and resins for dental applications. Commercially pure titanium (cpTi) specimens were air-abraded with alumina particles, surface-treated with an etchant containing TDTF (Monobond Etch & Prime; ETCH) for 10 s (ETCH10) or 30 s (ETCH30), rinsed with water, treated with a phosphoric monomer-based primer, and bonded to an indirect resin composite. Non-ETCH-treated specimens (no-ETCH) were prepared as a control.

Effects of air abrasion and glow-discharge plasma treatment on bonding resin cement to ceria-stabilized zirconia/alumina nanocomposite.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of air abrasion and plasma treatment on the bond strength between resin and ceriastabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals/alumina (Ce-TZP/AlO). Ce-TZP/AlO specimens were ground with #1000 silicon-carbide paper, air abraded with alumina, and then exposed to glow-discharge plasma (Abrasion/Plasma). Specimens without air abrasion and/or plasma exposure were also prepared as controls (Abrasion/No plasma, No abrasion/Plasma, and No abrasion/No plasma).

Surface modification with alumina blasting and H2SO4-HCl etching for bonding two resin-composite veneers to titanium.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an experimental surface treatment with alumina blasting and acid etching on the bond strengths between each of two resin composites and commercially pure titanium. The titanium surface was blasted with alumina and then etched with 45wt% H2SO4 and 15wt% HCl (H2SO4-HCl). A light- and heat-curing resin composite (Estenia) and a light-curing resin composite (Ceramage) were used with adjunctive metal primers.

Effects of sandblasting, H2SO4/HCl etching, and phosphate primer application on bond strength of veneering resin composite to commercially pure titanium grade 4.

This study investigated the effects of surface treatments on the bond strength of a resin composite to a commercially pure titanium. The bonding surfaces of all titanium specimens were ground with 1,000-grit silicon carbide paper and then subjected to one or more of these surface treatments: sandblasting with alumina (sand), etching with 45wt% H2SO4 and 15wt% HCl (SH-etchant) at 70°C for 10 min, and/or phosphate primer (MDP-primer) application. Specimens not subjected to any surface treatment were used as controls.
