Purpose: The retention forces of a newly developed compomer cement (Dyract Cem), a glass ionomer cement (Ketac Cem Aplicap), and a resin cement (F21) were examined.

Material And Methods: Cemented cast gold crowns were removed along the path of insertion with a Zwick universal testing device. The impact of both a cured and a noncured additional bonding layer that were applied to the inner surface of the crowns was examined across the Dyract Cem group.

Results: The mean adhesive strength was measured at 2.36 +/- 0.69 N/mm2 in the Ketac Cem group, at 0.60 +/- 0.28 N/mm2 in the F21 group, and at 1.85 +/- 0.94 N/mm2 in the Dyract Cem group, respectively. The application of an additional bonding layer to the inner surface of the crowns did not significantly improve the retentive strength of Dyract Cem; the respective mean strengths were observed at 1.46 +/-0.33 N/mm2 for the uncured and at 1.70 +/- 0.76 N/mm2 for the cured bonding layers.

Conclusions: Dyract Cem and Ketac Cem showed significantly higher retentive strengths than F21 (p < 0.001, Wilcoxon test, 5% level). No significant difference was found in bond strength between Ketac Cem and Dyract Cem.

Introduction And Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of fluoride-releasing adhesives to inhibit enamel demineralization surrounding orthodontic brackets.

Methods: Two groups of 40 sound human premolars were sectioned mesio-distally. The halves were varnished, and orthodontic brackets were bonded with different adhesive materials.

Effectiveness of bonding fiber posts to root canals and composite core build-ups.

Eur J Oral Sci

October 2009

Department of Operative Dentistry and Periodontology, University of Ulm, Ulm, Germany.

This study investigated the effects of fiber posts, silanization, and luting agents on the interfacial strength to root dentin and composite cores. Root canals of 120 crownless human teeth were instrumented. Three different posts (opaque and translucent), with and without silane treatment, were bonded using etch-and-rinse, self-etch, and self-adhesive luting agents.

Statement Of Problem: In contrast to gold crowns, in vitro determination of the retentive strength of all-ceramic crowns is more difficult because components allowing connection to testing apparatus are not as easily integrated into the all-ceramic material. Nevertheless, retentive strength data are crucial for obtaining information about the potential clinical performance of luting cements for all-ceramic restorations. Therefore, a new in vitro model was necessary to evaluate the retentive strength of all-ceramic crowns.

Bond strength of a new universal self-adhesive resin luting cement to dentin and enamel.

Clin Oral Investig

September 2005

Department of Operative Dentistry and Periodontology, Dental School, University of Regensburg, Franz Josef Strauss Allee 11, 93042 Regensburg, Germany.

The objective of this study was to assess the bonding performance of a new universal self-adhesive cement RelyX Unicem (RXU) to dentin and enamel compared to four currently used luting systems, using a shear bond strength test with and without thermocycling. Median bond strengths were determined after 24 h storage, and after thermocycling (6,000 cycles, 5-55 degrees C) for RXU and compared to Syntac/Variolink II (SynC/V) as a standard for luting conventional ceramics, ED-Primer II/Panavia F2.0 (EDII/PF2), Prime and Bond NT/Dyract Cem Plus (PBNT/DyCP), and a glass ionomer cement, Ketac Cem (KetC), as a standard for luting high-strength ceramic and metal-based restorations.

Marginal adaptation in dentin of a self-adhesive universal resin cement compared with well-tried systems.

Dent Mater

February 2004

Department of Prosthodontics, University of Regensburg, Franz-Josef-Strayss-Allee 11, 93053 Regensburg, Germany.

Objectives: This study compares the marginal adaptation of a new self-adhesive universal resin cement with only one application step, to the marginal adaptation of established cements and their corresponding adhesive systems.

Methods: All-ceramic crowns were inserted on human molars using a new self-adhesive universal resin cement without and with one pre-treatment step, a resin cement with a smear-layer removing and a compomer cement with a smear-layer dissolving adhesive system. After simulation of five years oral stress, the marginal adaptation was evaluated by dye penetration and scanning electronic microscope analysis using the replica technique.
