Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the reaction products formed by application of three tooth etchants to hydroxyapatite.
Methods: Tooth etchants with three different compositions, designed for application to teeth before dental adhesive - " K-etchant GEL" (containing phosphoric acid), "Enamel Conditioner" (containing organic acids), and "Multi Etchant" (containing acidic monomer) - were applied to hydroxyapatite plates.
Results: Atomic force microscopy measurements revealed that Multi Etchant formed nano-sized particles on the hydroxyapatite. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer analyses of the powdered hydroxyapatite indicated that Enamel Conditioner produced calcium tartrate whereas K-etchant GEL generated monetite. These results indicated that each etchant reacted with hydroxyapatite in a different way.
Conclusion: Not only differences among the etching ability of etchants, but also differences in the reaction compounds they produce may influence bonding performance in clinical practice.

Statement Of The Problem: One of the most important factors in the clinical longevity of composite resin restorations is proper adhesion, which is achieved using phosphoric acid. Different phosphoric acid products might affect the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin to enamel.
Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the micro-shear bond strength of composite resin to sound enamel using six different brands of acid-etch agents.

Aim: As an emerging yet underexplored innovation in dentistry, self-adhesive flowable composites (SAFCs) represent a promising and enduring advancement in the dental material technology. Our study aims to evaluate the shear bond strength of two SAFCs and the bonding of conventional flowable composite (CFC) to permanent dentin.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six teeth were embedded in acrylic blocks, with the occlusal third removed to expose the underlying dentin.

This study evaluated the influence of phosphoric acid and primer on enamel bonding performance using Panavia V5. Ground bovine enamels were assigned: using K-etchant syringe and Tooth Primer (CT), using K-etchant syringe (PA), using Tooth Primer (TP), neither K-etchant syringe nor Tooth Primer was used (NC). The micro-tensile bond strength values of CT and PA were significantly higher than TP.

Background: Glycolic acid (GA) has been tested as enamel and dentin etchant, and final irrigant for smear layer removal. This study evaluated the effects of GA and ultrasonic activation (US) on smear layer removal, dentin penetration, dentin structure and bond strength of the root dentin filling material.
Material And Methods: The root canals of 210 teeth were distributed into four test groups: smear layer removal (N=50), dentin penetration (N=50), dentin structure (N=10) and bond strength (N=100).

Background: Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) present themselves as smooth saucer lesions with variable height and depth. Treatment of choice for these lesions should be aimed at conservative management by restoring the teeth. The present study aims to evaluate the micro-tensile bond strength in NCCLs after various surface pre-treatments.
