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 »
The viscoelastic behavior of dental adhesives: a nanoindentation study.
Dent Mater. 2009 Jan; 25(1): 13-9Sadr A, Shimada Y, Lu H, Tagami J In order to predict the long-term performance of dental adhesives, it is necessary to understand their mechanical properties. The objective of this study was to use a new nanoindentation technique to characterize the in-plane linear viscoelastic properties of dental adhesive layers.The dental … Continue reading »
