The limited durability of resin-dentin bonds severely compromises the lifetime of tooth-
colored restorations. Bond degradation occurs via hydrolysis of suboptimally polymerized …

OBJECTIVE: Most of current dental adhesive systems show favorable immediate results in
terms of retention and sealing of bonded interface, thereby counteracting polymerization …

Objective Multi-mode universal adhesives offer clinicians the choice of using the etch-and-
rinse technique, selective enamel etch technique or self-etch technique to bond to tooth …

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this paper is to undertake a literature search collecting all dentin
bond, strength data obtained for six adhesives with four tests (shear, microshear, tensile and …

Microorganisms and their by‐products are considered to be the major cause of pulp and
periradicular pathosis. Hence, a major objective in root canal treatment is to disinfect the …

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the water sorption, solubility and kinetics of water
diffusion in commercial and experimental resins that are formulated to be used as dentin …

Host-derived proteases have been reported to degrade the collagen matrix of incompletely-
resin-infiltrated dentin. This study tested the hypothesis that interfacial degradation of resin …

Bacteria have long been recognized as the primary etiological factor in the development of
pulp and periapical lesions. Successful root canal therapy depends on thorough …

Loss of hybrid layer integrity compromises resin-dentin bond stability. Matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs) may be partially responsible for hybrid layer degradation. Since …

Resin–dentin bond strength durability testing has been extensively used to evaluate the
effectiveness of adhesive systems and the applicability of new strategies to improve that …
