Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of cross-head speed on debonding force of orthodontic brackets.
Methods: One hundred and twenty extracted permanent bovine mandibular incisors were randomly divided into 4 groups of 30 specimens each. Teeth were bonded with stainless steel orthodontic brackets. Enamel surfaces were etched with 37% phosphoric acid for 30 seconds and bonded with a composite adhesive. Debonding force measurements were performed with a universal testing machine Zwicki Z 2.5 (Zwick, Germany). Cross-head speeds of the four groups were: 0.1 mm s-1 (group A), 0.5 mm s-1 (group B), 1.0 mm s-1 (group C), 5.0 mm s-1 (group D).
Results: Mean debonding force measurements were as follows: 215.35 (39.09) N (group A), 231.79 (48.62) N (group B), 236.64 (39.26) N (group C), 224.95 (34.67) N (group D). Analysis of variance indicated that there were no significant differences in debonding forces between the groups investigated. The adhesive remnant index showed a median value of 2.0 for all groups.
Significance: Cross-head speed variation between 0.1 and 5 mm min-1 does not seem to influence debonding force measurements or failure mode of brackets bonded to enamel with a composite adhesive.

Background: Rehabilitation of endodontically treated teeth with large coronal destruction is still a clinical challenge. No established guidelines specify where a conventional crown with fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post-and-resin core or an endocrown (EC) is indicated and which material or pulpal extension should be used.
Objective: To provide evidence for restoring severely damaged maxillary first molar (MFM) by comparing the fracture and debonding resistance after being restored with the ceramic EC and the conventional zirconia crown and FRC post-and-resin core.
Surface Activation and Characterization of Basalt Fiber by Plasma Treatment and Its Interfacial Adhesion with Epoxy.

The weakness of the fiber-matrix interface restricts the practical application of basalt fiber (BF) as a reinforcing material. In order to improve the interfacial adhesion between the BF and epoxy matrix, surface activation of the BF was carried out using low-pressure O and H-Ar plasma under various conditions. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS), evaluated by a micro-droplet de-bonding test, was adopted to demonstrate the bonding effects at the BF/epoxy interphase.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the effect of two enzymatic chemo-mechanical caries removal agents with conventional caries removal using rotatory instruments on the adhesion of composite resin to dentin of permanent teeth.
Methods: The sample comprised 30 permanent molars with caries lesions extending to the dentin, randomly distributed into three groups (n = 10 each): 1-Caries removal with rotary instruments (control group); 2-Caries removal with Papacárie Duo (F&A Laboratório Farmacêutico, São Paulo, Brazil); 3-Caries removal with Brix 3000™ (Brix S.R.

Article Synopsis
- Incorporating nanoparticles into injectable hydrogels can strengthen their mechanical properties, but differences between the nanoparticles and the polymer matrix can create stress issues that may lead to failures.
- The study introduces boronic acid/boronate ester dynamic covalent bonds to help alleviate these stress concentrations, resulting in better integration between the nanoparticles and polymer matrix.
- The modified hydrogels, featuring boronic acid-treated nanoparticles, displayed improved viscoelasticity, stiffness, and resistance to deformation, along with clinically viable injectability and recovery characteristics.
