Background: Variolink II is the only resin cement used for bonding IPS (Ivoclar Porcelain System) Empress 2 ceramic restorations. Alternative luting resin cements need to be investigated for their bonding effectiveness with the IPS Empress 2 ceramic.
Objectives: To determine the shear bond strength (SBS) and the effect of thermocycling, on the bonding effectiveness, of five resin cements to IPS Empress 2 ceramic.
Materials And Methods: The projecting surfaces of one hundred ceramic discs were ground wet on silicone carbide paper. The specimens were divided into 5 groups of 20. The resin cements were bonded to the prepared ceramic surfaces, in the form of a stub. The specimens were stored under distilled water at 37 degrees C in an oven for 24 hours. Ten specimens in each group were thermocycled for 300 cycles between 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C. All the specimens were stressed to failure in an Instron Materials Testing Machine.
Results: The results were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Statistically similar mean SBS values were grouped using the Bonferroni (Dunn) multiple comparison test. The means for the non-thermocycled group were: 26.21, 19.41, 17.69, 17.43, and 15.76. The means for the thermocycled group were: 22.90, 15.72, 14.34, 13.96 and 13.45. The differences between the means were highly significant (p < 0.0125).
Conclusions: The shear bond strength of Variolink II and Rely XARC to IPS Empress 2 ceramic was effective. Thermocycling had a significant effect on the mean SBS values of Calibra. Thermocycling had no significant effect on the mean SBS values of the other resin cements.

Short dentin etching with universal adhesives: effect on bond strength and gingival margin adaptation.
BMC Oral Health

Conservative Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Kafr Al Sheikh University, Kafr Al Sheikh, Egypt.
Background: Short dentin etching, a relatively recent technique, aims to improve resin-dentin bonding by preserving hydroxyapatite crystals within the collagen spaces. This study explores short dentin etching's potential in mitigating over-etching issues in deep proximal dentin/cementum margins, an aspect not previously investigated. This study evaluates the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and marginal adaptation of two universal adhesives using different etch-and-rinse strategies (15-second and 3-second etching) and self-etch strategies, both immediate and post-thermal cycling and mechanical loading.

HEMA-free versus HEMA-containing adhesive systems: a systematic review.
Syst Rev
January 2025
Conservative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Postal Code, 35516, Egypt.
Background: Hydrophilic monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)-free adhesive systems are gaining increasing popularity nowadays. Although the addition of HEMA to dental adhesives improves dentin wettability and resin diffusion into demineralized collagen fibrils, HEMA's high hydrophilicity can lead to hydrolytic degradation of the adhesive interface. Thus, HEMA-free adhesive systems have been developed.

To evaluate the effect of sulfinate salt on the bond performance of a two-step self-etch adhesive to an intracoronally bleached pulpal dentin surface. Intracoronally bleached bovine teeth were treated with or without sulfinate salt (sulfinate agent (SA): Clearfil DC activator) before 2-SEA (Clearfil SE Bond 2) application, while unbleached teeth served as the control (n = 5 teeth). Microtensile bond strength (µTBS) using the bonded surface area of 1 mm at the crosshead speed of 1 mm/min measurements after 24 h storage and thermocycles (TC), degree of conversion (DC) analyses by Raman spectroscopy (n = 3 teeth), ultrastructure of resin-dentin interface (n = 3 teeth), and intracoronally bleached pulp chamber dentin surface (n = 3 teeth) observations by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were subsequently performed.
