Abstract 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…
Abstract Dental adhesives are usually tested in shear or tension even though neither of these approaches measures the local stress triggering failure. Because the stress level varies extensively over the…
Abstract 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 adhesion tests, and…
Abstract The wetness of dentin surfaces, the presence of pulpal pressure, and the thickness of dentin are extremely important variables during bonding procedures, especially when testing bond strength of adhesive…
Abstract Objectives Bond strength between adhesive systems and the tooth structure is influenced by a large number of variables, which makes the comparison among studies virtually impossible. Also, failure often…
Abstract Introduction Resin bonding can be compared to making a sandwich with the tooth on one side and the restoration on the other, a layer of bonding resin is applied…
Abstract Objective Adhesion or cohesion includes an adherend, adhesive, and intervening interface. Adhesive joints may include one or more interfaces. Adhesion science focuses on understanding the materials properties associated with…
The Academy of Dental Materials held its annual meeting in Portland, Oregon, USA, on October 29–31, 2009. The full title of the meeting was Adhesion in Dentistry – Analyzing Bond…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of liner and base materials to reduce the stress resulting from polymerization shrinkage. The null hypothesis tested was…
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was the interfacial characterization and the determination of bond strength of commercially available low fusing dental porcelain for Ti. Methods Eight materials were…
