An appropriate bond between glass‑ionomer and the superficial
resin materials is very important for the success of sandwich
technique. The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the
effect of three surface treatments of conventional glass‑ionomer on
its shear bond strength to giomer
This study aimed to compare the effects of different enamel
etching techniques for bracket bonding strength. The sample
consisted of eighty human premolars were randomly divided into
four equal groups. The enamel surfaces of the teeth were etched
with 35% orthophosphoric acid in Group 1 , air abraded with
50 μm aluminum oxide prior to acid etching in Group 2, Trans
bond Plus Self-etching Primer (TPSEP) in Group 3 , Er: YAG
laser in Group 4. After enamel etching procedures, brackets were
bonded with Trans bond XT , then shear bonding test was
performed using a testing machine (Tinius Olsen).
The filling material bonding to the wall of the root canal is so important with regard to decreasing the apical microscopic leakage. The aim of this study is to assess the ability of new resin root canal filling
materiales (Resilon) in bonding to th
e canal internal wall, bond strength, and to determined the nature of
bond failure, and compare this with two kinds of traditional root canal filling materials.
