Characterization of the Organic Matrix of Mature Human Tooth Enamel: Structure, Macromolecular Composition and Effect of Radiotherapy
(2014-09-30)Mature human tooth enamel contains a small amount of organic matrix locally concentrated within its innermost region, which is tougher and more crack resistant than the outer bulk phase. Although the enamel organic matrix ... -
Clinical Acceptability of Digital Indirect Bonding Compared to Direct Bonding by Varying Orthodontic Experience: Pilot Study
(2023)This pilot study was a two-factor, in-vitro pilot study comparing the clinical acceptability of orthodontic bracket placement between digital indirect and direct bonding techniques and between participants with three levels ... -
Effect of Delayed Polymerization Time and Bracket Manipulation on Orthodontic Bracket Bonding
(2014)This study examined the effect of bracket manipulation in combination with delayed polymerization times on orthodontic bracket shear bond strength and degree of resin composite conversion. Orthodontics brackets were bonded ... -
Effects of Alpha-Tocopherol Antioxidant on the Bonding Properties of Resin Adhesive to Dentin Bleached with Sodium Perborate
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)Previous reports have shown diminished capacity for bonding after bleaching teeth. Reversal of the bond strengths back to pre-bleached levels can be obtained with application of 10% alpha-tocopherol in a 2-hour time ... -
Effects Of Delayed Polymerization Time and Bracket Manipulation on Orthodontic Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Adhesive
(2015)This study examined the effect of varying delayed polymerization times in combination with bracket manipulation on shear bond strength (SBS), degree of conversion (DC), and adhesive remnant index (ARI) score when using a ... -
Effects of Flavonoids on Collagen Biostability, Remineralization and Long Term Durability of Natural and Denatured Dentin
(2022)Collagen biostability in the resin dentin interface determines the longevity of dental composite restorations. Maintaining this biostability becomes even more challenging in the altered and denatured substrate of caries ... -
Effects of fluoride varnish application and phosphate buffered saline solution with or without demineralizing conditions prior to bracket bonding on subsequent enamel-bracket shear bond strength
(2020)This study examined the effect of sodium fluoride varnish (V) and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution with or without demineralization (DM) prior to bracket bonding on subsequent enamel-bracket shear bond strength ... -
Influence of Orthodontic Bracket Bonding Protocol on Zirconia Ceramics and Resulting Bond Strength, Adhesive Remnant, and Debonded-Polished Zirconia Surface Roughness
Objective: This study evaluated the effect of primer protocol for metal orthodontic brackets bonded to zirconia ceramic and resulting shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and debonded and polished ...
