Clinical Relevance Degradation of dentin hybrid layers in Class I resin composite restorations is minimal over six months but lessened by the application 2% chlorhexidine digluconate after etching.
Higher 24-hour resin-dentin bond strengths are created when ethanol is used to replace water during wet bonding. This in vitro study examined if ethanol-wet-bonding can increase the durability of bonds over longer times. Five increasingly hydrophilic experimental resin blends were bonded acid-etched dentin saturated with or ethanol. Following composite build-ups, teeth reduced into beams for microtensile strength evaluation, and water-aging at 37°C 3, 6, 12 months before additional...
Clinical Relevance Extensive degradation of dentin hybrid layers formed with an acetone-based adhesive beneath Class I resin composite restorations was evident after one year unless the teeth received application 2% chlorhexidine digluconate etching.
Clinical Relevance The results of this double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial have direct relevance to practice and provide evidence that the addition low levels potassium nitrate and/or fluoride significantly reduce postoperative sensitivity relative products do not contain either agent.
It is uncertain whether single-phase self-etching adhesives form bonds to enamel as reliable those of etch-and-rinse adhesives. This study compared the microtensile bond strengths ground three adhesive systems, a primer system and an etchand-rinse system. Human was flat with 320-grit silicone carbide paper. The iBond (Heraeus Kulzer), Prompt L-Pop (3M ESPE) Xeno III (Caulk/Dentsply), Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray) Scotchbond Multipur-pose (3M/ESPE) were applied directed, followed by core same...
Clinical Relevance Adhesives with self-etching primers, which were evaluated in this study, produced immediate dentin and enamel bond strengths equivalent to the etch-and-rinse product, although they less etching of surface than phosphoric acid.
Clinical Relevance No difference was observed between two adhesives. Instructions for self-etching resins should be more specific restoration of non-carious Class V lesions, especially regarding air-drying to remove residual solvent.
Clinical Relevance The selection of light curing unit (quartz-tungsten-halogen or blue light-emitting diode), composite classification and shade have an influence on the amount residual yellow after photocuring and, in some combinations, color difference may be visually detectable.
