Laser-assisted cavity preparation and adhesion to erbium-lased tooth structure: part 1. Laser-assisted cavity preparation

J Adhes Dent. 2009 Dec;11(6):427-38. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a18136. ABSTRACT The use of the ruby laser (693.4 nm) was first described in 1960, and it was applied for hard tissue ablation in 1964. Different wavelengths [Nd:YAG (1.065 microm), CO2 (9.6 microm), Ho:YAG (2.12 microm)] were consequently explored. Due to massive thermal side […]

Adhesively luted, metal-free composite crowns after five years

J Adhes Dent. 2009 Dec;11(6):493-8. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a18144. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: The effect of location and preparation design of abutment teeth and of preparation design on the survival and complication rate of metal-free, adhesively luted composite crowns (Artglass, Heraeus Kulzer) and their clinical performance was investigated in this controlled, randomized, prospective clinical […]

Demineralization effects of hydrogen peroxide on bovine enamel and relation to shear bond strength of brackets

J Adhes Dent. 2009 Dec;11(6):461-7. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a18140. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To measure the demineralization capacity of 37% phosphoric acid and shear bond strength (SBS) of brackets attached on bovine enamel at different times after bleaching with 30% hydrogen peroxide. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four equally-sized pieces of each crown from 18 bovine […]

Effects of surface treatments on bond strength between porcelain and electroformed gold substrates

J Adhes Dent. 2009 Dec;11(6):485-91. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a18143. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To assess the effects in vitro of sandblasting with 50-microm and 110-microm aluminum oxide grits and application of Goldbonder on bond strengths between porcelain and electroformed pure gold. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty electroformed gold substrates and eight Ni-Cr alloy substrates were […]

Information resources and material selection in bonded restorations among Korean dentists

J Adhes Dent. 2009 Dec;11(6):439-46. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a18137. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To elucidate how dentists access knowledge sources when choosing adhesive agents for bonded restoration and whether these resources influenced the selection of materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A national survey was carried out involving dentists in South Korea. The questionnaire included the […]

Phosphoric acid/sodium hypochlorite mixture as dentin conditioner: a new approach

J Adhes Dent. 2009 Dec;11(6):455-60. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a18139. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of a phosphoric acid/sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) mixture as a dentin conditioner on shear bond strength, the resin/dentin interface, as well as the surface area and tubular diameter of dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty human molars were prepared […]

The effect of water storage, elapsed time and contaminants on the bond strength and interfacial polymerization of a nanohybrid composite

J Adhes Dent. 2009 Dec;11(6):469-78. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a18141. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To systematically characterize the effect of time lapse, water storage, and selected contaminants on the bond strength of a nanofilled dental composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Half-dumbbell-shaped samples were fabricated out of light-polymerizing composite resin. To function as substrates they were aged […]
