Effect of chlorhexidine application in a self-etching adhesive on the immediate resin-dentin bond strength

J Adhes Dent. 2010 Feb;12(1):27-31. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a17543. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate whether the application of chlorhexidine in a two-step self-etching adhesive has an adverse effect on the immediate resin-dentin bond strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Different amounts of 20 wt% chlorhexidine digluconate were added directly to the Clearfil SE Bond primer […]

Degree of conversion and antimicrobial activity of etch-and-rinse versus self-etching adhesives

J Adhes Dent. 2010 Feb;12(1):33-8. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a17535. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: This study was designed to compare the self-etching with the etch-and-rinse adhesives regarding the degree of conversion and antimicrobial activity against cariogenic bacteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The materials used were AdheSE (two-step self-etching), Adper Prompt L-Pop (self-etching, single-step) and Excite (etch-and-rinse) […]

Water sorption and solubility of four self-etching, self-adhesive resin luting agents

J Adhes Dent. 2010 Feb;12(1):39-43. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a17539. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the water sorption and water solubility of four self-etching, self-adhesive resin luting agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four self-etching, self-adhesive resin luting agents (RelyX Unicem, Maxcem, Biscem, Multilink Sprint) and one classic resin luting agent (Multilink Automix) as […]

Bonding strategies to pulp chamber dentin treated with different endodontic irrigants: microshear bond strength testing and SEM analysis

J Adhes Dent. 2010 Feb;12(1):63-70. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a17594. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of 6 irrigant regimens on the microshear bond strength of different adhesives to pulp chamber dentin and to determine their interfacial morphology by SEM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-three human molars were split into halves and ground to […]

Long-term provisional anterior tooth replacement using fiber-reinforced composite and avulsed tooth crowns as pontics

J Adhes Dent. 2010 Feb;12(1):71-5. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a17532. ABSTRACT The loss of anterior teeth due to trauma requires immediate attention for function and esthetics. While implant- supported or conventional fixed prostheses may be the treatments of choice for adults, relatively noninvasive and reversible provisional procedures for tooth replacement are necessary for […]
