Restorative possibilities using zirconia ceramics for single crowns

Braz. dent. j; 30 (5), 2019
Abstract Two clinical cases are presented to explore technical differences and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using veneered or monolithic zirconia to manufacture posterior single crowns. The first case describes the clinical steps in manufacturing a monolithic crown on a mandibular left s...

Effect of magnification during post space preparation on root cleanness and fiber post bond strength

Braz. dent. j; 30 (5), 2019
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of magnification during post space preparation on root cleanness and on fiber post bond strength. Methods: Thirty human central upper incisors with similar root canal in size and shape were selected, decoronated to 15 mm and endodontically filled....

Interfacial properties and bottom/top hardness ratio produced by bulk fill composites in dentin cavities

Braz. dent. j; 30 (5), 2019
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength, bottom/top hardness ratio, marginal adaptation, and interfacial nanoleakage of regular viscosity bulk fill composites (RVBFC) and regular viscosity traditional composites (RVTC). Two RVBFC (Filtek Bulk Fill and Aura Bulk Fill) and two RVTC...

The wear performance of glazed and polished full contour zirconia

Braz. dent. j; 30 (5), 2019
Abstract This study evaluated the influence of zirconia surface finishes on the wear of an enamel analogue. 40 zirconia discs were divided into four groups: control (without finish); glazed; polished; polished and glazed. All samples were subjected to wear against steatite antagonists. The specimens unde...

Bond stability of universal adhesives applied to dentin using etch-and-rinse or self-etch strategies

Braz. dent. j; 30 (5), 2019
Abstract This study evaluated the immediate and 6-month dentin bond strength of universal adhesives used in etch-and-rinse or self-etch bonding strategies. The adhesives tested were Ambar Universal, G-Bond, Single Bond Universal, Tetric N-Bond Universal, and Ybond Universal. Gold standard adhesives (Scot...

Characteristics of adhesive bonding with enamel deproteinization

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the bond characteristics of orthodontic metal brackets bonded to enamel surface using three adhesive systems. Methods: One hundred twenty premolars were selected and randomly divided into two equal groups of 60 teeth/ ea...

A comparative study of the biocompatibility of two root-end filling materials in rat connective tissue

Int. j. morphol; 37 (3), 2019
The aim of the present study was to examine the short-term biocompatibility of Endosequence Root Repair Material (ERRM) paste and white Mineral Trioxide Aggregate MTA by implanting them into polyethylene tubes in the subcutaneous connective tissue of rats. twenty five male Wistar rats, 3-4 months old, we...

Formulation and characterization of antibacterial orthodontic adhesive

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to formulate experimental orthodontic bracket adhesives and test their mechanical properties, fluoride release and antibacterial activity. Methods: Four experimental antibacterial orthodontic bracket adhesives were prepared with different composition...

Comparison of shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets bonded with a universal adhesive using different etching methods

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three enamel etching modes - laser-etch, self-etch and acid-etch (5, 10 and 15 s) - on bracket bonding, using a universal adhesive. Methods: Eighty-four maxillary premolars were randomly divided into seven groups (n=12) based on t...
