The aim of this paper was to review in vitro and in situ studies that directly compared the use
of bovine teeth as a substitute for human teeth in dental experiments. A PubMed search was …

There is increasing reliance on laboratory testing of new products. The clinical significance
of many such studies can be questioned. To function clinically, bond strength must develop …

Conventional adhesive systems use 3 different agents (an enamel conditioner, a primer
solution, and an adhesive resin) during the bonding of orthodontic brackets to enamel. A …

Bovine enamel is commonly used in enamel bonding studies, therefore, a familiarity with
some aspects of bovine enamel bonding are important in order to evaluate the studies …

Literature data on adherence tests of dentin-bonding systems (DBS) may differ widely, even
for the same DBS. The problem of bond testing is that materials are seldom compared with a …

A unique characteristic of some new etching systems is that they combine the conditioning
and priming agents into a single acidic primer solution. The purpose of this study was to …

This study assessed the effect of water and saliva contamination on the shear bond strength
and bond failure site of 3 different orthodontic primers (Transbond XT, Transbond Moisture …

Intraoral repairs often involve bonding composite to fractured porcelain. Newer adhesive
systems, currently referred to as multipurpose systems, include materials with recommended …

Objective: To evaluate the influence of different cross-head speeds on shear bond strength
test on the dentin surface. Methods: One hundred and twenty extracted bovine incisors were …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strengths of a composite resin
(Transbond XT; 3M/Unitek, Monrovia, Calif) and a resin-modified glass ionomer (Fuji Ortho …
