CO2 laser improves 45S5 bioglass interaction with dentin.

J Dent Res. 2011 Feb; 90(2): 246-50Bakry AS, Takahashi H, Otsuki M, Sadr A, Yamashita K, Tagami J Bioglass 45S5 is a bioactive glass that can create a layer of calcium-phosphate crystals on mineralized hard tissues. In this study, 45S5 bioglass was mixed with phosphoric acid and irradiated with CO(2) laser and examined as a … Continue reading »

Effects of dentin characteristics on interfacial nanoleakage.

J Dent Res. 2007 Oct; 86(10): 1001-6 Yuan Y, Shimada Y, Ichinose S, Sadr A, Tagami J Water emanating from dentinal tubules during air-drying and light-curing of adhesives leads to entrapment of droplets at the resin-dentin interface and contributes to nanoleakage. This study tested the null hypothesis that characteristics of substrate dentin and type of … Continue reading »
