Objectives: To study the microtensile bond strengths and nanoleakage of low-shrinkage composite to dentin. The null hypotheses tested were (1) aging does not affect the bonding of low-shrinkage composite; (2) there is no difference in microtensile bond strengths and nanoleakage using different bonding strategies.

Methods: 32 extracted molars were assigned to one of four groups: LS System Adhesive (LS, 3M ESPE); dentin etched for 15s with phosphoric acid+LS System Adhesive (LSpa); Adper Single Bond Plus (SB, 3M ESPE); SB+LS Bond (SBLS). Occlusal dentin was exposed and restored with Filtek LS (3M ESPE). The samples were tested after 24h or after 20,000 thermocycles and 6 months of aging. Teeth were sectioned with a cross-section of 0.8+/-0.2mm(2) and fractured at a crosshead speed of 1mm/min. The data were submitted to ANOVA/Duncan's post hoc test, at p<0.05. Five slabs from each group were selected and immersed in 50wt% ammoniacal silver nitrate. Then, specimens were processed for SEM, the silver penetration was measured and data analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis at p<0.05.

Results: No statistically significant difference was found among the experimental groups for the factor dentin treatment (p=0.165) and aging (p=0.091). All experimental groups exhibit some degree of nanoleakage. There was no adhesion of Filtek LS applied directly over dentin surfaces treated with SB.

Significance: The new low-shrinkage resin composite showed compatibility only with its dedicated adhesive. Pre-etching did not improve the bond strengths to low-shrinkage resin composite. Some degree of nanoleakage was evident in all groups.

Background: Long-term durability of a restoration relies on the marginal integrity and its ability to withstand the occlusal forces. Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) exhibited superior properties in terms of fracture toughness, flexural strength, and wear resistance.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess and compare marginal adaptation and microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of posterior FRCs comparing with a condensable composite.

Objective: Chemicals used during canal disinfection and endodontic sealers have a deleterious effect on dentin bond strength. The aim of this study was to evaluate a novel clinical sequence to improve the resin-dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS) to endodontically treated teeth.

Materials And Methods: Twenty human molars were distributed in four experimental groups (n = 5, N = 20): C-control group without exposure to any endodontic chemical substances (2.

Tooth degradation develops easily over time from initial caries to deeper cavities. The quality and durability of restorations are crucial in a patients' life, and it is primarily determined by the mechanical properties of the restorations. Clinicians and engineers apply biomimetic science in dentistry to mimic the natural design of the teeth and emphasize careful material selection as well as bond strength between the tissue and artificial material.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) cavity disinfectant on interfacial microleakage and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive bonded to dentin in both self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) modes.

Methods: Class I cavities were prepared in the coronal dentin of extracted human teeth and assigned to two etching modes (SE or ER), then subdivided by disinfection with or without CHX (n = 5). Cavities were restored using Single Bond Universal Adhesive and Filtek Z350 XT composite.

This study investigated the effects of resin composites (RCs) containing surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler on the dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of HEMA-free and HEMA-containing universal adhesives (UAs). Water sorption (WS) and solubility (SL), degree of conversion (DC), and ion release were measured. The UAs BeautiBond Xtreme (BBX; 0% HEMA), Modified Adhesive-1 (E-BBX1; 5% HEMA), Modified Adhesive-2 (E-BBX2; 10% HEMA), and two 2-step self-etch adhesives (2-SEAs): FL-BOND II (FBII; with S-PRG filler) and silica-containing adhesive (E-FBII) were used.
