Objective: To evaluate the influence of the type of cement on the fracture resistance of full-contour resin nanoceramic crowns cemented over preparations with knife-edge margins. Methods: A right lower premolar typodont model was prepared with a 1.5-mm axial reduction, a 2.0-mm occlusal reduction, and a knife-edge v...

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of the surface treatment and adhesive system on the shear bond strength and the failure mode of orthodontic brackets bonded to polymethylmethacrylate surfaces. Methods: Ninety metal brackets (n=15) were bonded to aged discs of polymethylmethacrylate SR Ivocron subjected to three ...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 6-month clinical performance of Adhese Universal applied with two different application strategies (self-etch vs. etch-andrinse technique) when restoring non-carious cervical lesions. Methods: Twenty-six patients participated in this study. Restorations of 11...

Objectives: To evaluate the immediate and water-aged microtensile bond strength of a universal adhesive to dentin, using the self-etch approach with and without an additional hydrophobic resin layer. Methods: Flat dentin surfaces were prepared from twelve non-carious human molars and were randomly divided into two g...

Objective: To evaluate the influence and effectiveness of the salivary decontamination protocol after polymerization of a universal adhesive on dentin adhesive strength, after 24 hours and 6 months of ageing. Methods: Fifty intact molars were sectioned in order to obtain two slices of dentin from each tooth. In all...
