SUMMARY Purpose: To evaluate the tooth-composite interaction (A) and shear bond strength (SBS; B) of self-adhering flowables. Methods and Materials: (A) Thirty-two human molars with one Class V cavity were restored with Vertise Flow (VF), Fusio Liquid Dentin (FLD), an experimental self-adhering flowable (EF), or Adper Prompt-L-Pop/Filtek Supreme XT Flowable (PLP). Teeth were prepared according to laboratory standard and stored in water (24 hours, 37°C). Microleakage (ML; percentage interface length at enamel [E]/dentin [D]) and tooth-composite interaction were investigated. (B) The buccal surface of 160 embedded human molars was abraded to expose an enamel/dentin area of diameter ≥3 mm. Composite specimens were produced on enamel/dentin with VF, FLD, EF, or PLP. Prior to loading, 80 samples were water stored (24 hours, 37°C) and 80 thermocycled (5°C-55°C, 1500 cycles). The SBS was measured, and failure modes were classified by scanning electron microscopy. Statistics: Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, and Fisher exact tests were performed (α=0.05). Results: (A) At enamel margins, EF and VF showed significantly lower ML than did FLD and PLP (pi≤0.009; 81%-89%); in dentin, lower values resulted with FLD and VF compared with PLP and EF (pi≤0.01; 77%-94%). Adhesive tags at E were consistently verifiable with EF and VF but irregularly with FLD and PLP. At D, tags were detectable with all systems. (B) In all groups, SBS decreased by up to 97% after thermocycling. It was generally diminished with self-adhering flowables (E: 50%-98%, D: 59%-98%; pi<0.02). More cohesive defects were observed with PLP (pi<0.009). Conclusion: Tooth-composite morphology and bond strength indicate that the clinical use of self-adhering flowables must be pursued cautiously.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste on shear bond strength and debonding failure modes of orthodontic brackets. Materials and Methods: Freshly extracted premolars were randomly divided into four groups (n =18) as follows: in groups 1 and 3, the enamel was treated with a solution of CPP-ACP dissolved in artificial saliva; groups 2 and 4 served as controls, and the enamel was treated with artificial saliva. After conventional acid etching, in groups 1 and 2, brackets were bonded using a light-cured bonding system (Blugloo); while in groups 3 and 4, brackets were bonded using a conventional bonding system (Unite Bonding Adhesive). Bonded specimens were subjected to thermal cycling for 1000 cycles before debonding procedures. After debonding, teeth and brackets were examined under a stereomicroscope at 10× magnification to determine whether any adhesive remained, in accordance with the adhesive remnant index. The acid-etched enamel surfaces were also observed using scanning electron microscopy after treatment with and without CPP-ACP paste. Results: The shear bond strengths of group 1 were significantly higher than those seen in group 2 (P < .01). There was no significant difference in the shear bond strengths of groups 3 and 4 (P > .05). Scanning electron microscopic observation showed that the pretreated enamel surface was rougher than that of the control surface after acid etching. Conclusion: The use of CPP-ACP can be considered as an alternative prophylactic application in orthodontic practice since it did not compromise bracket bond strength.

Aim: In this in vitro study, the effect of two adhesive systems applied to surfaces of different polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) composites on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a composite resin was compared. Methodology: Eighty PEEK specimens were divided into four groups (n=20): Unfilled PEEK (UF), carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK (CFR), glass-fiber-reinforced PEEK (GFR), and ceramic-reinforced PEEK (CR). Each group was further divided into two subgroups (n=10): Visio.link (VL) and Single Bond Universal (SB). The specimens with 8-mm diameter and 5-mm thickness were prepared. SBS was examined using a universal testing machine. Results were statistically analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance and Tukey’s post-hoc test. Failure modes were analyzed using a stereomicroscope at 20× magnification. Surface properties were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The surface properties of the specimens were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).  Results: Effect of different PEEK and adhesive systems on SBS was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). SBS values for CFR-VL and UF-VL groups were statistically more significant than those for CFR-SB and UF-SB groups (p=0.001). SBS values for the GFR-VL group were statistically more significant than that for the UF-VL group (p=0.001). SBS values for the CF-SB group were statistically more significant than those for CFR-SB and CFR-SB groups (p=0.001). Failure modes were examined using a stereomicroscope at 20× magnification, and adhesive and mixed failure modes were observed. Conclusion: PEEK composites with different contents and properties can be used in fixed prosthetic restorations. However, additional experimental and clinical studies are required to investigate different PEEK frameworks and composite veneers.   How to cite this article: Demirci F, Tekin S.

Aim: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of resin cements, flowable composites, and a preheated composite in luting glass-ceramic to dentin. Materials and Methods: In total, 108 noncaries human third molar teeth embedded in acrylic blocks, grinded from the occlusal surfaces until dentin was exposed, and divided into 9 randomized groups ( n = 12). In total, 108 ceramic samples prepared in disc shape (3mm × 3mm) from IPS e. max CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent) blocks. Four adhesive resin cements: Variolink Esthetic DC (Ivoclar Vivadent), G-CEM LinkForce (GC), Panavia V5 (Kuraray Noritake), Maxcem Elite Chroma (Kerr), and three flowable composites: G-ænial Universal Flo (GC), Herculite XRV Ultra Flow (Kerr), Vertise Flow (Kerr), and one preheated composite: Enamel Plus HRI (Micerium) luted to the prepared occlusal surfaces of the teeth with total-etch, self-etch, and self-adhesive protocols. Then samples were thermocyled (5,000 cycles, 5–55°C, dwell time 20 s). SBS test was performed in a universal testing machine (at 0.5 mm/min). Failure modes were examined under a stereomicroscope at ×25 magnification. Data were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn–Bonferroni tests ( α = 0.05). Results: There were statistically significant differences among material types ( P < .05). Highest SBS values found in G-ænial Universal Flo (15.43 ± 5.67), and the lowest values obtained in Maxcem Elite Choroma (SA) (1.25 ± 1.47). There were no significant differences between self-etch (Panavia V5, Maxcem Elite Choroma [SE]) and self-adhesive (Maxcem Elite Choroma [SA], Vertise Flow) protocols ( P > .05). Conclusion: Flowable composites can be alternatives to resin cements when bonded with total-etch procedures. Bond strength of self-etch and self-adhesive applications is still to be developed.

Introduction. Pit and fissure sealing is a effective procedure in preventing caries, as proven in numerous clinical trials. Materials used for this technique are usually resin-based fissure sealants, but some studies suggested using flowable composites as well. The latest generations of these materials include self-adhesive flowable composites and bulk fill composites. Retention of these materials is one of the main factors that contribute to caries prevention. Therefore, shear bond strength tests that determine the material’s ability to bond with the enamel may help determine their clinical effectiveness. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the shear bond strength to the enamel of the following materials: Helioseal F (Ivoclar Vivadent), Vertise Flow (Kerr), and SDR (Dentsply Sirona) with XP Bond (Dentsply Sirona). Material and methods. 15 permanent third molars extracted for orthodontic reasons with prepared flat enamel surfaces were randomly divided into three groups. Tested materials ? Helioseal F, Vertise Flow and SDR with XP Bond were polymerised on these surfaces, using a mould. Samples were immersed in distilled water, kept at 37°C for 24 h, and then installed in an Instron testing machine. The machine stopped at sample fracture and the load was recorded. Shear bond strengths were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed. Also, samples were assessed using an optical microscope to assess sample failure type. Results. 35 samples, including 11 Helioseal F, 12 Vertise Flow, and 12 SDR were analysed. SDR with XP bond had the highest shear bond strength ? 23.70 (± 6.35) MPa; Vertise Flow ? 20.10 (± 3.95) MPa, and Helioseal F the lowest ? 15.93 (± 3.17) MPa. There was a statistically significant difference between flowable composites (SDR and Vertise Flow) and resin-based fissure sealant (Helioseal F). There were 18 cohesive sample fractures within the enamel, 14 adhesive fractures and 4 mixed. Conclusions. The shear bond strength of SDR with XP Bond and Vertise Flow is statistically significantly higher than that of Helioseal F. However, it is also crucial to clinically assess the effectiveness of these materials.

BACKGROUND: The increased strength of zirconia has resulted in its widespread application in clinical dentistry. Nevertheless, the fracture of veneering porcelains remains one of the key reasons of failure. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare and analyze the influence of surface conditioning methods on the core-veneer bond strength of zirconia restorations. METHODS: Thirty specimens of zirconia core with sizes 10 × 5 × 5 mm were layered with porcelain of sizes 5 × 3 × 3 mm. On the basis of different surface conditioning methods, four groups were made: Group I: abrasion with airborne alumina particles of 110 μm size, Group II: sandblasting with silica coated alumina particles of 50 μm in size, Group III (modified group): alteration with a coating of zirconia powder prior to sintering, and Group IV (control group): metal core specimens. The shear force of all specimens was tested using a universal testing machine with a 0.5 mm/min crosshead speed. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post hoc pair wise comparison (p= 0.05) were performed to analyze the shear bond strength. A scanning electron microscope was used to assess the fractured specimens. RESULTS: A statistically significant difference was noted between the groups. The mean value of shear bond strength was 40.25 MPa for Group I, 41.93 MPa for Group II, 48.08 MPa for Group III and 47.01 MPa for Group IV. CONCLUSIONS: The modified zirconia group and control group demonstrated a significantly higher mean bond strength than that of Group I, where airborne particle abrasion was used. The scanning electron microscope showed that cohesive fracture in the porcelain veneers was the main problem of failure in altered zirconia. The modified zirconia specimens in Group III demonstrated significantly improved values of shear bond strength.

ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate and compare shear bond strength (SBS) and debonding characters of the Transbond XT (BisGMA-based composite), Esthet-X flow (flowable composite), Filtek Z-350 (flowable composite). Materials and methods A total of 90 human premolars were divided into group I, Transbond XT (n = 30); group II, Esthet-X flow (n = 30) and group III, Filtek Z-350 (n = 30), the preadjusted edgewise stainless steel premolar brackets were bonded to evaluate the shear bond and debonding properties. Results The results of the statistical analysis comparing the three groups indicated no statistically significant differences between the groups. In general, the SBS with groups I and III exhibited similar bond strength with 11.58 ± 1.3 MPa and 11.07 ± 1.0 MPa respectively. Groups III exhibited least bond strength of 10.7 ± 2 MPa. In modified adhesive remnant index (ARI) the majority of bond failures occurred at enamel-adhesive interface or cohesive type failure in all the three groups. Groups II and III showed increased frequency of score 2, 4 and 5 compared to group I which showed increased frequency of score 0 and 1. Conclusion When considering the SBS and ARI scores obtained, flowable composites can be effectively applied to orthodontic bracket bonding.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro the shear bond strength to enamel, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and contraction stress of one orthodontic composite and two flowable composites. Orthodontic brackets were bonded to 45 human maxillary premolars with the composites Transbond XT, Filtek Z-350 flow and Opallis flow and tested for shear bond strength. For measurement of flexural strength and flexural modulus, specimens were fabricated and tested under flexion. For the contraction stress test, cylindrical specimens were tested and an extensometer determined the height of the specimens. The data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). The shear bond strength values were significantly lower (p<0.05) for the flowable composites compared with the orthodontic composite. For the flexural strength, no statistically significant difference was found among the composites (p>0.05) while the flexural modulus was significantly higher (p<0.05) for Transbond XT than for Filtek Z-350 flow and Opallis flow. The orthodontic composite presented significantly lower contraction stress values than the flowable composites (p<0.05). The light-activated orthodontic composite material presented higher flexural modulus and shear bond strength and lower contraction stress than both flowable composites.

Abstract Objective: To test the bonding characteristics of four flowable composites for orthodontic bracket bonding. Materials and Methods: Metal brackets were bonded to acid-etched human enamel using four flowable composites (Grandio Flow, GF; UniFil Flow, UF; UniFil LoFlo Plus, UL; and DenFil Flow, DF), an orthodontic bonding system (Transbond XT, TX), and a restorative composite (Filtek Z250, FZ). After 24 hours of storage in water at 37°C, a shear bond strength (SBS) test was performed. After debonding, the adhesive remnant index (ARI) was assessed. In addition, the flow and flexural strength of the materials were examined. Results: The SBS for the flowable composites ranged between 7.2 and 8.3 MPa, and TX showed a significantly higher value (mean 10.9 MPa). The flowable composites also demonstrated a significantly superior flowability, yet inferior flexural strength (except for DF) than TX and FZ. Two flowable composites (GF and UL) produced significantly higher ARI scores than TX and FZ, which represented a larger resin remnant on the enamel surfaces after debonding. Conclusion: When considering the SBS and ARI scores obtained in this study, flowable composites with no intermediate bonding resin could be conveniently applied for orthodontic bracket bonding.
