Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity and 1-year dentin bond stability of solvated etch-and-rinse dental adhesives based on tetrahydrofuran (THF), acetone, or ethanol, containing water or not.

Materials And Methods: Seven primers were prepared using the following solvents: THF, acetone, ethanol, water, THF/water, acetone/water, and ethanol/water. Bovine dentin was used, and specimens for microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test were prepared. Specimens were tested after storage in distilled water for 24 h or 1 year. Cytotoxicity of the solvents was evaluated in 3T3/NIH mouse fibroblasts using a colorimetric 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay after exposure for 24 h.

Results: No significant differences were detected among solvents after storage for 24 h, except for the water-based group, which showed the lowest μTBS values. After storage for 1 year, the THF-based adhesive system resulted in more stable bonds. Yet, THF showed an intermediate cytotoxicity when compared with the other solvents, being less toxic than phosphate monomer and similar to 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate.

Conclusion: THF seems to be a suitable solvent for adhesive systems.

Clinical Relevance: THF is a promising solvent that can be used to improve dentin bond stability.

Purpose: This study investigated the bond strength between short fiber-reinforced resin composite (SFC) and dentin following air abrasion with various types of abrasive particles.

Methods: A total of 120 human molars were prepared for a shear bond strength (SBS) test of the resin composite. The teeth were divided into 12 groups (n = 10/group) based on the air abrasion particle used.

Background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has gained popularity for its caries-arresting properties, yet its tendency to cause esthetic concerns due to black-staining limits its widespread acceptance.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of Activa BioActive and Giomer restorative material with different protocols of SDF pretreatment on carious dentin.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-two extracted teeth were decoronated at the cementoenamel junction, sectioned 1 mm into dentin, mounted in acrylic resin and randomly divided into four ( = 8) control and six ( = 10) experimental groups.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the fracture strength of 1 mm-thick CAD/CAM occlusal veneers made from lithium disilicate (LD) and resin nanoceramics (RNC) to assess their viability in dental restoration.
  • Using a novel testing protocol, the RNC group demonstrated a significantly higher load-bearing capacity compared to the LD group, indicating better durability under stress.
  • Both materials experienced similar crack patterns during testing, emphasizing the importance of understanding mechanical properties for ensuring the longevity of dental restorations.

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.
