One-year water sorption and solubility of "all-in-one" adhesives.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the water sorption and solubility of different adhesives. Adper Easy Bond, Adper Single Bond Plus, Bond Force, Clearfil SE Bond (bonding resin only), and Xeno IV were the materials evaluated. Ten disks of each adhesive were made in Teflon molds and evaporation of any volatile components was allowed.

Two-year bond strengths of "all-in-one" adhesives to dentine.

Objectives: To test the long-term in vitro bonding performance of "all-in-one" self-etch adhesives to dentine.

Methods: Adper Prompt (3M ESPE), Bond Force (Tokuyama), Brush & Bond (Parkell), iBond Self Etch (Heraeus Kulzer), OptiBond All-In-One (Kerr), and Xeno IV (Dentsply Caulk) were tested. The two-step self-etch adhesive Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray) served as the control.

Dentin bonding of an etch-and-rinse adhesive using self- and light-cured composites.

Purpose: To evaluate the dentin shear bond strength (SBS) of a new two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system (MPa Direct) using self- and light-cured composites.

Methods: The dentin of 160 bovine teeth was ground to 600 grit. Self- (Bisfil 2B) or light-cured (Filtek Supreme Plus) composite was bonded to dentin using MPa Direct, Adper Single Bond Plus, One-Step Plus, OptiBond Solo Plus, or Prime & Bond NT.
