Bond strength and adhesive remnant index of experimental brackets bonded with self-adhesive resin cement

ABSTRACT: Aim: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) of experimental brackets bonded with self-adhesive resin cement. Ninety bovine teeth were randomly distributed (n = 15) according to the groups: G1 - metal brackets bonded with Transbond™ XT; G2 - APC metal b...

The effect of silver nanoparticles on composite shear bond strength to dentin with different adhesion protocols

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (4), 2017
Abstract In Dentistry, restorative materials and oral bacteria are believed to be responsible for restoration failure. To make long-lasting restorations, antibacterial agents should be made. Inorganic nanoparticles and their nano composites are applied as good antibacterial agents. Objective The purpos...

Mechanical properties, water sorption characteristics, and compound release of grape seed extract-incorporated resins

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (4), 2017
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the effect of grape seed extract (GSE) incorporation on the mechanical properties, water sorption, solubility, and GSE release from the experimental adhesive resins. Material and Methods An experimental comonomer mixture, consisting of 40% Bis-GMA, 30% Bis MP, ...

Bacterial endotoxin adhesion to different types of orthodontic adhesives

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (4), 2017
Abstract Bacterial endotoxin (LPS) adhesion to orthodontic brackets is a known contributing factor to inflammation of the adjacent gingival tissues. Objective The aim of this study was to assess whether LPS adheres to orthodontic adhesive systems, comparing two commercial brands. Material and Methods ...

Resistência de união de diferentes cimentos resinosos a cerâmica à base de dissilicato de lítio

Introdução: O sucesso de restaurações indiretas depende de uma adequada união entre o cimento e o substrato dental. Portanto, a seleção e o conhecimento das características dos agentes cimentantes são importantes para a retenção da restauração indireta. Objetivo: Avaliar a resistência de u...

Long-term bond strength of a self-adhesive resin cement to intraradicular dentin pretreated with chlorhexidine and ethanol

Introduction: Self-adhesive resin cements do not require prior preparation of the tooth surface, therefore dentin pretreatments may influence long-term bond strength. Objective: To evaluate the influence of 100% ethanol (ET) and 2% chlorhexidine (CL) treatment of intraradicular dentin on the long-term b...

Influence of resin-modified glass ionomer and topical fluoride on levels of Streptococcus mutans in saliva and biofilm adjacent to metallic brackets

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (2), 2017
Abstract Decalcification of enamel during fixed orthodontic appliance treatment remains a problem. White spot lesions are observed in nearly 50% of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The use of fluoride-containing orthodontic materials has shown inconclusive results on their ability to reduce dec...

Enhanced bioactive properties of BiodentineTM modified with bioactive glass nanoparticles

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (2), 2017
Abstract Objective To prepare nanocomposite cements based on the incorporation of bioactive glass nanoparticles (nBGs) into BiodentineTM (BD, Septodent, Saint-Maur-des-Fosses Cedex, France) and to assess their bioactive properties. Material and Methods nBGs were synthesised by the sol-gel method. BD ...

Effect of different composite core materials on fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with FRC posts

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (2), 2017
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber reinforced composite posts, using three resin composite core build-up materials, (Clearfil Photo Core (CPC), MultiCore Flow (MCF), and LuxaCore Z-Dual (LCZ)), and a nanohybrid composite, ...

Influence of Resin Cements on Color Stability of Different Ceramic Systems

Braz. dent. j; 28 (2), 2017
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate color stability of two dental ceramics cemented with two resin cements, assessing the color difference (ΔE00) by the measurement of L*, a*, b*, c* and h* of transmittance. The combination of two ceramic system (feldspathic and lithium disilicate) an...
