Objectives The bonding interface of glass ceramics and resin luting cements plays an
important role in the long-term durability of ceramic restorations. The purpose of this …

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 …

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 …

The objective of this paper is to critically review the literature regarding the mechanics,
geometry, load application and other testing parameters of “micro” shear and tensile …

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to describe all of the various modifications of the
microtensile bond test in one paper, so that investigators can select the modification that …

Purpose: The objective of this study was to test the following hypotheses:(1) hydrofluoric
acid (HF)–treated ceramic surfaces produce the highest tensile bond strength to resin …

Objective. To use fractographic principles to classify the mode of failure of resin composite
bonded to ceramic specimens after microtensile testing. Methods. A leucite-based ceramic …

The availability of new scientific information about the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of
carious lesions and the introduction of new adhesive restorative materials have substantially …

Purpose: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the absence and presence
of smear layers on bonds made to dentin using a self-etching primer system, Clearfil SE …

Abstract< b> Purpose:</b> The objective of this in vitro study employing the microtensile test
was to test the hypothesis that the tensile bond strength of hot-pressed ceramics to …
