Laser-assisted cavity preparation and adhesion to erbium-lased tooth structure: part 2. present-day adhesion to erbium-lased tooth structure in permanent teeth

J Adhes Dent. 2010 Apr;12(2):91-102. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a17523. ABSTRACT With the introduction of the Er:YAG laser, it has become possible to remove enamel and dentin more effectively and efficiently than with other lasers. Thermal damage is reduced, especially in conjunction with water spray. Since FDA (Federal Drug Administration) approval of the […]

Effect of additional acid etching on bond strength and structural reliability of adhesive systems applied to caries-affected dentin

J Adhes Dent. 2010 Apr;12(2):109-15. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a17529. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of additional acid etching on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and Weibull modulus (m) of two adhesive systems applied to caries-affected dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety human molars with coronal carious lesions were sectioned to produce flat […]
