Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) bound to dentin have been thought to contribute to the progressive degradation of collagen fibrils in hybrid layers. Inhibition of host-derived MMPs may slow the degradation over…
Objectives : To evaluate the tensile bond strength (TBS) of resin cements to bovine dentin resin-coated with all-in-one adhesive systems. Materials and methods : Each of the dual-cure resin cements;…
Objectives : This study investigated the bonding efficacy of Adper™ Easy Bond (EB, 3 M ESPE), a 7th generation adhesive, when used in total-etch (5th generation) mode on either moist…
Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the compatibility between 4 dentin adhesives and 4 resin luting cements by means of uTBS test and SEM analysis for dentin–resin interface….
Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength of some current adhesive systems on root surface dentin after 24 h of storage in distilled…
Objectives : This study investigated the effects of various human saliva contamination and decontamination protocols on the shear bond strengths (SBS) of three adhesives on bovine superficial dentin. Materials and…
Objectives : To evaluate the fatigue resistance of adhesives bonded to dentin, in comparison to their micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS). Materials and methods : The bonding effectiveness of three adhesives…
Objectives : In this study the addition of polymerization promoters to experimental self-etching primers on the bond stability of two-step adhesives to dentin was investigated. Materials and methods : A…
Objectives : Degradation of hybrid layers (HL) within resin-infiltrated dentin has shown to result from multiple degradation factors, including the collagenolytic activity of specific matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Inhibition of host-derived…
Objectives : Both adhesive and collagen degradation have been regarded as major causes of resin–dentin bonds failures. Complete infiltration of hydrophobic resins facilitated by ethanol, and the presence of MMPs…
