J Endod. 2011 Feb; 37(2): 228-30Nassar M, Awawdeh L, Jamleh A, Sadr A, Tagami J This in vitro study assessed the adhesion of Epiphany self-etch (SE) root canal sealer to dentin treated with different irrigation regimens.Flat dentin surfaces were obtained from human third molar teeth; smear layer was created on each sample. Five groups of … Continue reading »
The role of functional monomers in bonding to enamel: acid-base resistant zone and bonding performance.
J Dent. 2010 Sep; 38(9): 722-30 Li N, Nikaido T, Takagaki T, Sadr A, Makishi P, Chen J, Tagami J To investigate the effects of two functional monomers on caries-inhibition potential and bond strength of two-step self-etching adhesive systems to enamel.Clearfil SE Bond and similar experimental formulations different in the functional monomer were used. Four … Continue reading »
Micro-shear bond strength of current one-step adhesives to cementum and dentin.
Am J Dent. 2009 Oct; 22(5): 259-63Okada H, Sadr A, Shimada Y, Tagami J To investigate the bonding performance of current one-step adhesives to human cementum and compare the results with those of two-step adhesives.Four commercially available adhesives were investigated: two one-step adhesives (Clearfil Tri-S Bond and G-Bond), and two two-step adhesives: a self-etch adhesive … Continue reading »
Effect of caries-affected dentin hardness on the shear bond strength of current adhesives.
J Adhes Dent. 2008 Dec; 10(6): 431-40Wei S, Sadr A, Shimada Y, Tagami J The aim of this study was to evaluate the microshear bond strength of three current adhesives to normal and caries-affected dentin, and to examine the correlation between dentin nanoindentation hardness and bond strength.Nanoindentation hardness of dentin and microshear bond strength of … Continue reading »
Effects of solvent drying time on micro-shear bond strength and mechanical properties of two self-etching adhesive systems.
Dent Mater. 2007 Sep; 23(9): 1114-9 Sadr A, Shimada Y, Tagami J The all-in-one adhesives are simplified forms of two-step self-etching adhesive systems that must be air dried to remove solvent and water before curing. It was investigated whether those two systems perform equally well and if their performance is affected by air-drying of the … Continue reading »
Effects of storage time and temperature on the properties of two self-etching systems.
J Dent. 2007 Mar; 35(3): 218-25Sadr A, Ghasemi A, Shimada Y, Tagami J To evaluate the micro-shear bond strength to enamel and dentin, pH and hardness of two self-etching adhesives over a period of 60 weeks storage at different temperatures.Two self-etching systems, an all-in-one adhesive, Clearfil Tri-S Bond (TS) and a two-step adhesive, Clearfil SE … Continue reading »
