Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of a veneering composite to 2 differently treated fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) substrates and to a base metal alloy.
Materials And Methods: A veneering composite (SR Adoro) was bonded to the following substrates: (1) a nickel-chromium base metal alloy (control, group A), (2) an FRC substructure (Vectris) with a flat surface (group B), and (3) an FRC substructure (Vectris) with retentive rods 0.5 x 0.5 mm in cross section and 10 mm in length, positioned parallel to each other at a distance of 0.5 mm (group C). Thirty-nine specimens were fabricated and divided into 3 groups of equal size. All specimens were thermocycled for 5,000 cycles at 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C with dwell time of 30 seconds in each bath. Evaluation of shear bond strength was performed at a constant crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min according to ISO 10477.
Results: The mean values for the shear bond strength were 19.29 MPa for the control group (group A), 16.66 MPa for group B, and 16.74 MPa for group C. Despite a tendency to higher bond strength of group A specimens, no statistically significant difference was recorded between the groups (P > .05).
Conclusions: No statistically significant difference was found between the metal and FRC substructures. Retentive rods on the FRO substructure do not seem to increase the bond strength significantly.

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.
