A commercially available three-step (etch-and-rinse) adhesive was modified by adding chlorhexidine (CHX)-loaded nanotubes (Halloysite®, HNT) at two concentrations (CHX10% and CHX20%). The experimenta...
Hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) reduces the durability of composite resin restorations on caries-affected dentin (CAD). The use of MMP inhibitors such as epiga...
Effect of cleaning protocols on bond strength of etch-and-rinse adhesive system to dentin.
This study aimed to evaluate the cleaning protocol of dentin impregnated with epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus) and the effects on the adhesive interface using 95% ethanol (E) or formamide solution (...
Sulforaphane, a promising phytochemical, has received much attention in recent decades as a potential anticarcinogenic compound. In this research work, a novel, specific and affordable method has been...
Surface modified mesoporous silica materials are important materials for heterogeneous catalysis and are attracting attention as potential drug carriers. The functionality of these materials relies on...
Immediate and Delayed Dentin Sealing Effect on Partial Crowns
Immediate Dentin Sealing as an adjunct to adhesive cementation of all ceramic restorations is proposed and executed in several studies, but there is very limited evidence to support its ef...
An in Vitro Evaluation of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy on Deciduous Carious Dentin
Despite of the decline of dental caries, this disease is still common in polarized groups affecting children. Therefore, the aim of this randomized blind in vivo study was to compare the a...
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs); activated by the application of adhesive systems on dentin cause degradation of the collagen proteins and loss of bond strength in adhesive restorations. ...

The purpose of this study is to determine whether spherical silica can achieve similar or greater extrinsic dental stain and plaque removal, in comparison to dentifrices containing higher ...
Dentin-bonding Agents
Cements that act through infiltration and polymerization within the dentinal matrix and are used for dental restoration. They can be adhesive resins themselves, adhesion-promoting monomers, or polymerization initiators that act in concert with other agents to form a dentin-bonding system.
Smear Layer
Adherent debris produced when cutting the enamel or dentin in cavity preparation. It is about 1 micron thick and its composition reflects the underlying dentin, although different quantities and qualities of smear layer can be produced by the various instrumentation techniques. Its function is presumed to be protective, as it lowers dentin permeability. However, it masks the underlying dentin and interferes with attempts to bond dental material to the dentin.
Dentin Dysplasia
An apparently hereditary disorder of dentin formation, marked by a normal appearance of coronal dentin associated with pulpal obliteration, faulty root formation, and a tendency for peripheral lesions without obvious cause. (From Dorland, 27th ed)
Silica Gel
A non-crystalline form of silicon oxide that has absorptive properties. It is commonly used as a desiccating agent and as a stationary phase for CHROMATOGRAPHY. The fully hydrated form of silica gel has distinct properties and is referred to as SILICIC ACID.
Dentin Sensitivity
Pain associated with exposed DENTIN surfaces of the teeth.
