Objectives: This study evaluated the relationship between microtensile bond strength (microTBS) and occurrence of nanoleakage at the resin-dentin interface using the same specimens.
Methods: Resin-dentin-bonded micro-specimens (sticks with a size of 300 microm x 300 microm x 8mm) were prepared using one of two material combinations (group I: Syntac classic/Tetric Ceram Cavifil: n=57; group II: Prime & Bond NT/Spectrum TPH: n=52). After immersion of the micro-specimens in 0.1% rhodamine-B solution for 1h, nanoleakage was imaged nondestructively using a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Then the specimens were subjected to a microTBS test.
Results: For the influence of nanoleakage on microTBS with the Syntac classic/Tetric Ceram Cavifil group, the nonparametric Spearman correlation was 0.033 at p=0.805. For the Prime & Bond NT/Spectrum TPH group, the nonparametric Spearman correlation was 0.077 at p=0.584.
Significance: The degree of nanoleakage had no influence on microtensile bond strength for the Syntac classic/Tetric Ceram Cavifil or for the Prime & Bond NT/Spectrum TPH group.

Recently, photoactivated riboflavin (RF) treatments have been approved to improve resin-dentin bonding by enhancing dentinal collagen crosslinking. This study aimed to evaluate whether RF activated by blue light (BL, 450 nm) strengthens the collagen matrix, increases resistance to enzymatic degradation, and improves adhesion as effectively as ultraviolet A (UVA, 375 nm) activation. Six groups were examined: control (no treatment); RF0.

This study aimed to investigate the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of composite-based (Cerasmart), polymer-infiltrated (Vita Enamic), and feldspathic (Cerec) CAD/CAM blocks luted to dentin using a dual-cure resin cement (LinkForce), as well as micro-hybrid (G-aenial) and flowable composites (G-aenial Universal Flo), and evaluate the microhardness (HV) of luting materials through the CAD/CAM blocks. Cerasmart, Enamic, and Cerec were luted to dentin using three luting materials; LinkForce, G-aenial, and Universal Flo (n = 5). For HV, 117 disk-shaped specimens from LinkForce, G-aenial, and Universal Flo (n = 13) were polymerized through 3 mm thick CAD/CAM.

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.

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.

Bioactive fillers in dental adhesives are designed to release beneficial ions, such as calcium and phosphate, to help in remineralization process, and preventing secondary caries. Their incorporation also aims to improve the longevity of dental restorations. Herein, CaP nanoparticles were synthesized through a water-in-oil emulsion method using Tween80 as a surfactant and methacrylic acid (MAA).
