Background: Macro-bond strength tests resulted in cohesive failures and overestimation of
bond strengths. To reduce the flaws, micro-bond strength tests were introduced. They are …

Background: The rapid developments in the field of adhesive dental materials have led to
improvements in many aspects of clinical dentistry. Adhesive bond strength plays an …

Statement of problem Few studies have investigated the differences among various post-
and-core systems under mastication simulation. Comparing these systems while simulating …

Objectives Application of matrix metalloproteinases inhibitors has been suggested to
improve the durability of resin–dentin bonding. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the …

Background Despite of the rapid development in the field of dental adhesives, the issue of
reduction in dentin bond durability has still not been resolved. The activity of dentinal …

Background: Different studies have shown the uncertain effects of thermal cycling (TC) and
mechanical load cycling (MC) on the dentin microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of …

To evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on the marginal misfit and retentive
strength between Y-TZP crowns and an epoxy resin. Forty (40) epoxy resin (G10) abutments …

Background: Applying silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is recommended to arrest and prevent
dental caries. However, it may jeopardize the bond of the restorative materials to the tooth …

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the thermal aging effect on microhardness
and surface roughness of fluoride containing restorative materials. Material and Methods: In …

In this paper, a review of the test methods for bond strength of glass fiber posts to dentin is
presented. The main variables that influence the bond strength tests are related to substrate …
