Objectives: To evaluate and compare the outcomes of shear (S) and microtensile (μT) bond strength tests of CAD/CAM fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) to dentin. Aging with either fatigue or thermocycling were conducted for comparison with baseline microtensile group.

Methods: CAD/CAM FRC (Trinia, Bicon LLC, Boston, USA) blocks were milled to 3-mm diameter cylinders for shear and to blocks (5×5×5mm) for μT. Sixty extracted human molars were flattened to obtain dentin surfaces and randomly divided in four groups (n=15): (1) SC: samples tested in shear 24h after bonding; (2) μTC: samples tested in μT 24h after bonding); (3) μTF: samples submitted to mechanical fatigue prior to μT test, and; (4) μTT: thermocycling prior to μT test. Bonding system was applied onto the FRC material (Cera-Resin Bond, CRB, Shofu Dental, Kyoto, Japan). A conventional three-step adhesive system (All-bond 3, Bisco, Schaumburg, USA) was use with a self-cure resin cement (C&B resin cement, Bisco, Schaumburg, USA). Bond strength tests were conducted at 0.75mm/min and data analyzed using Weibull distribution (p<0.05).

Results: Weibull contour plots showed a significantly lower characteristic strength (η) and Weibull modulus (m) for SC (η=6.9MPa and m=1.4) compared to μTC (η=20.9MPa and m=4.5). Fatigued and thermocycled μT groups presented significantly reduced characteristic strength (η=3.1MPa and η=4.1MPa, respectively) compared to μTC. Weibull modulus was significantly reduced only for SC and μTF groups compared μTC. Failure predominantly occurred at the cement/FRC interface.

Significance: FRC bonded to dentin samples presented lower Weibull modulus and characteristic bond strength when immediately tested in shear compared to microtensile. Aging through thermocycling or mechanical fatigue significantly reduced the characteristic strength in microtensile testing, with the majority of failures emerging between restoration material and cement interface.

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.

The aim of the study is to assess the impact of mechanical surface treatments on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to three-dimensional (3D) printed and milled CAD/CAM provisional materials. Sixty cylindrical samples were fabricated for each provisional material. Samples were treated with one of the following surface treatments: aluminum oxide airborne particle abrasion, diamond bur rotary instrument roughening, and phosphoric acid etching (control).

Objectives This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength of three resin cements (light-cured resin cement, pre-heated composite resin, and dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement) when bonding to lithium disilicate discs. Materials and methods Thirty-six discs made of lithium disilicate were fabricated and etched with 9.5% (HF), and 36 human premolars were collected and immersed in the acrylic molds, then randomly divided into three equal groups (n = 12): Group 1: light-cured resin cement, Group 2: pre-heated resin composite, and Group 3: dual-cured resin cement.
