Aim: The aims of this study were to evaluate the surface morphology and surface roughness of restorative materials containing glass ionomer, analyze Streptococcus mutans biofilm formation on the surface of materials, and ...

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the Vickers hardness numbers (VHNs) of two bulk-fill resin-based composites (BFRBC) and a conventional hybrid resin-based composite (RBC) through the layers of a 5mm thickness model ...

Objective: Enamel and dentin bond strengths of restorative glass carbomer material were determined by shear bond strength (SBS) test after different surface treatments in this study.Materials and methods: Flat enamel and ...

Literature regarding the influence of Er,Cr:YSGG laser pulse frequency with different output power levels on adhesion properties of adhesive resin to lased enamel is limited. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to ...

The objective of the present study was to examine nanofillers from two adhesives, Single Bond 2 and Prime & Bond NT along dentinal hybrid layers using energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) under ethanol-wet bonding ...

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare two different bond strength test methods (tensile and microtensile) in investing the influence of erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er, Cr: YSGG) ...

Available knowledge in the literature regarding the immediate bond strength of one-step, self-etch adhesives to enamel surfaces covered with thick layers is limited. Therefore, the immediate bond strength of six one-step, ...

Background: Different types of molds are being used to place resin composite and build composite buildup in shear bond strength test. However, a little information is available in the literature regarding their effects on ...

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the simplified ethanol-wet bonding technique and conventional water-wet bonding technique on short term nanoleakage within hybrid layers made with two ...

Objectives. The student’s perspectives of their restorative dentistry education would be an important source of information for evaluation of preclinical curriculum. Thus, the aim of the present research was to obtain ...
