J. appl. oral sci; 25 (5), 2017
Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the effects of dentin pretreatment and temperature on the bond strength of a universal adhesive system to dentin. Material and Methods: Ninety-six extracted non-carious human third molars were randomly divided into 12 groups (n=8) according to Scotchbond Universal Adhes...

Rubbing time and bonding performance of one-step adhesives to primary enamel and dentin

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (5), 2017
Abstract Objectives: This study investigated whether increasing the concentration of acidic monomers in one-step adhesives would allow reducing their application time without interfering with the bonding ability to primary enamel and dentin. Material and methods: Experimental one-step self-etch adhesiv...

Impact of inhalation therapy on the incidence of carious lesions in patients with asthma and COPD

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (5), 2017
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of carious lesions, the amount of salivary flow rate and pH value in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), using inhalation therapy.
