Effect of erosive challenges on deciduous teeth undergoing restorative procedures with different adhesive protocols - an in vitro study

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of erosive challenges on the tooth- restoration interface of deciduous teeth treated with different adhesive protocols. Material and Methods: Deciduous molars were cut mesiodistally, then embedded, abraded and polished (n=80). Samples were randomly divided acc...

Immediate effects of temporary bite-raising with light-cured orthodontic band cement on the electromyographic response of masticatory muscles

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective: To assess the immediate effects of temporary bite-raising using light-cured orthodontic band cement on the superficial masseter and anterior temporalis electromyography (EMG) activity in healthy adults. Materials and Methods: Surface EMG signals were recorded bilaterally from the su...

Effect of filler size and filler loading on wear of experimental flowable resin composites

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract The relationship between wear resistance and filler size or filler loading was clarified for the universal resin composite; however, their relationship in flowable resin composites has not been clarified. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of filler size and fil...

Clinical wear of approximal glass ionomer restorations protected with a nanofilled self-adhesive light-cured protective coating

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract High viscous glass ionomer cement (GIC) has gained popularity as a restorative material; however, high wear is pointed as one of the major drawbacks of this material. Protective surface coatings were developed to protect GIC from water contamination with the additional advantage of occluding any...

Influence of Surface Sealants on Microleakage in Composite Restorations

ABSTRACT: Polymerization shrinkage of composites can generate stress that results in the formation of microgaps at the resin-enamel interface and marginal leakage. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the influence of surface sealants on microleakage in composite restorations. Enamel-dentin occlus...

Influence of curing protocol and ceramic composition on the degree of conversion of resin cement

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (6), 2017
Abstract Due to increasing of aesthetic demand, ceramic crowns are widely used in different situations. However, to obtain long-term prognosis of restorations, a good conversion of resin cement is necessary. Objective: To evaluate the degree of conversion (DC) of one light-cure and two dual-cure resin c...

Ultramorphology of pre-treated adhesive interfaces between self-adhesive resin cement and tooth structures

Introduction: Convencional resin cements can be used in combination with a total-etch system in a conventional mode or as self-adhesive resin cements. The latter are less technique sensitive and able to bond to dental tissues without previous treatment or adhesive layer and requires only a single step to...

Dentin pretreatment and adhesive temperature as affecting factors on bond strength of a universal adhesive system

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...

Influence of elastic modulus of intraradicular posts on the fracture load of roots restored with full crowns

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the fracture load and displacement of roots restored with posts of different elastic modulus. Material and method: Thirty-six replicas of epoxy resin mixed with glass microfibers were made from an endodontically-treated human premolar root prepared to a length of...

Cytotoxicity of three light-cured resin cements on 3T3 fibroblasts

Introduction: Light-cured resin cements are the first choice for the cementation of laminate veneers. Ideally, they should be biocompatible and offer minimum risks to patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, the cytotoxicity of three resin cements: Variolink II, Ivoclar Viva...
