Purpose: Air-polishing is routinely used for professional tooth cleaning. Therefore, the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of different air-polishing powders on dentin bonding.
Materials And Methods: Dentin bond strengths of a resin composite (Clearfil AP-X) bonded with different classes of adhesives (4-step etch-and-rinse: Syntac; 3-step etch-and-rinse: OptiBond FL; 2-step etch-and-rinse: Single Bond Plus; 2-step self-etching: AdheSE, Clearfil SE Bond, Clearfil Protect Bond, One Coat Self-Etch Bond; all-in-one/mix: Xeno III; all-in-one/no mix: Clearfil S3 Bond, G-Bond) were measured on flattened dentin surfaces. In test groups, specimens were air polished with Prophypearls (calcium carbonate) or ClinPro Prophypowder (glycine) prior to bonding. Microtensile bond strengths were evaluated after 24 h of storage at 37 degrees C in water. Surfaces and resin-dentin interfaces were observed by SEM, TEM, and CLSM.
Results: Mean bond strengths varied from 18 to 73 MPa in control groups. Calcium carbonate air polishing generally caused significantly reduced dentin bond strengths (p < 0.05). TEM exhibited severe nanoleakage after calcium carbonate air polishing. Glycine did not affect dentin bonding performance of the adhesives under investigation.
Conclusion: Calcium carbonate air polishing should be avoided when dentin-bonded restorations are applied. Glycine powder is an alternative.

Statement Of Problem: The optimal zirconia pretreatment, contingent upon the type of cement used, warrants further research.
Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the influence of various surface pretreatments on the bonding efficacy of cement to zirconia.
Material And Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for in vitro studies related to bonding with zirconia up to April 2024, supplemented by a manual search.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a chlorhexidine digluconate solution (CHX) applied as an antiproteolytic agent for controlling erosive tooth wear or as part of the adhesive treatment on long-term bond strength to eroded dentin. Dentin specimens were abraded with a 600-grit silicon carbide (SiC) paper for 1 min (sound dentin - S), subsequently treated with 2% CHX for 1 min (with excess removed, followed by a 6-hour rest), and eroded by exposure to Coca-Cola for 5 min, three times a day, for 5 days (CHX-treated and eroded dentin - CHXE), or only eroded (eroded dentin - E). The specimens were acid-etched (15 s), rinsed (30 s), dried (15 s), and rehydrated with 1.

Background: This study aimed to assess the influence of different pretreatment protocols and antioxidants application on the shear bond strength (SBS) of universal adhesive to sound (SoD) and caries-induced dentin (CID).
Methods: One hundred and twenty posterior teeth had their occlusal enamel removed, then the specimens were divided into two main groups according to dentin substrates; SoD and CID, three subgroups according to pretreatments protocols control (no pretreatment), NaOCl-treated, and Er, Cr:YSGG-treated and two divisions according to antioxidant application (with and without sodium ascorbate (SA) application). All-Bond Universal (ABU) universal adhesives was applied in self-etch (SE) mode then resin composite discs were built.

Cadmium (Cd) isotopes have recently emerged as novel tracers of Cd sources and geochemical processes. Widespread clay minerals play a key role in Cd migration due to their strong adsorption capacity, but the mechanism of Cd isotope fractionation during adsorption onto clay minerals is poorly understood. Here, we experimentally investigated the adsorption mechanisms of Cd on montmorillonite (2:1) and kaolinite (1:1) by using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy.

The biocompatible autonomous self-healing hydrogels have great potential in biomedical applications. However, the fairly weak tensile strength of the hydrogels seriously hinders their application. Here, we introduced chitosan (CS) into the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-tannic acid (TA) hydrogel and investigated the effects of the CS content, as CS can not only form reversible H bonds with PVA and TA but also form reversible electrostatic interactions with TA.
