Dent Mater. 2011 Jun 12; Bakhsh TA, Sadr A, Shimada Y, Tagami J, Sumi Y OBJECTIVES: Regardless of the cause, gap formation at the tooth-restoration interface may result in treatment failure; non-destructive assessment and monitoring of these defects are important. The aim of this in vitro study is to assess the tooth-restoration interface using a … Continue reading »
Effect of double-application of three single-step self-etch adhesives on dentin bonding and mechanical properties of resin-dentin area.
Oper Dent. 2009 Nov-Dec; 34(6): 716-24Wei S, Shimada Y, Sadr A, Tagami J This study investigated whether double-application influences the bond strength of single-step self-etch adhesives and the mechanical properties of the resin-dentin area.Three single-step self-etch adhesives (EXL-683, experimental, 3M ESPE; Clearfil Tri-S Bond, Kuraray Medical; G BOND, GC) were applied on dentin surfaces by … Continue reading »
Effect of Er:YAG laser treatment on the microstructure of the dentin/adhesive interface after acid-base challenge.
J Adhes Dent. 2007 Dec; 9(6): 513-20 Bakry AS, Sadr A, Inoue G, Otsuki M, Tagami J The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Er:YAG laser ablation on the microstructure of the dentin/adhesive interface after acid-base challenge in vitro.Thirty-two extracted third molars were used. One pair of disk-shaped specimens was obtained … Continue reading »
