Background: This study aimed to evaluate the color matching, light transmittance, and reflectance characteristics of the novel flowable resin composite OCF-001 (OCF). Methods: Fifty-four resin composite molds were made with simulated class I cavities of A2, A3, and A4 shades by filling the rubber mold interspace with Estelite Sigma Quick (ESQ), Gracefil Putty (GP) and Filtek Supremme Ultra (FSU). After applying the adhesive, three different flowable resin composites (n = 6), OCF, Gracefil LoFlo (GLF), and Supreme Ultra Flowable (SUF), were used to fill the cavities. A colorimeter was used to measure the color parameters (CIEDE2000). The color measurements were taken immediately and after 28 days. Data were analyzed using the nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis (α = 0.05) and Wilcoxon tests. The light transmittance and reflection characteristics were measured with a black background using a spectrophotometer under D65 illumination. Results: The ΔE
00 , and ΔC of OCF was lower than other tested materials in A2 and A3 shades both immediately and after 28 days. OCF showed the highest transmittance characteristic, and a relatively stable reflectance curve in all the wavelengths. Conclusions: OCF showed better shade matching with the surrounding shades of A2 and A3, a relative uniform reflectance and higher light transmission properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Purpose: To compare the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of two all-in-one adhesive systems and one experimental two-step self-etching adhesive system to two types of bur-cut dentin. Materials and Methods: Using one of the three adhesives, Xeno CF Bond (Xeno), Prompt L-Pop (PL), or the experimental two-step system ABF (ABF), resin composite was bonded to flat buccal and root dentin surfaces of eight extracted human premolars. These surfaces were produced using either regular-grit or superfine-grit diamond burs. After storage overnight in 37°C water, the bonded specimens were sectioned into six or seven slices approximately 0.7 mm thick perpendicular to the bonded surface. They were then subjected to microtensile testing. The surfaces of the fractured specimens were observed microscopically to determine the failure mode. In addition, to observe the effect of conditioning, the two types of bur-cut dentin surfaces were conditioned with the adhesives, rinsed with acetone, and observed with SEM. Results: When Xeno and PL were bonded to dentin cut with a regular-grit diamond bur, MTBS values were lower than to superfine bur-cut dentin, and failures occurred adhesively at the interface, whereas the experimental two-step adhesive showed no significant difference in microtensile bond strength between two differently cut surfaces. Conclusion: The all-in-one adhesives tested here improved bond strengths when bonded to superfine bur-cut dentin as a substrate, whereas the experimental two-step adhesive system showed unchanged bonding to both regular and superfine bur-cut dentin surfaces.

Purpose: The objective of this work was to evaluate the in vivo long-term durability of bond strength and morphological appearance of interfaces between dentin and two adhesive systems. Materials and Methods: Class V cavities were prepared on the facial surfaces of 6 intact teeth of a monkey, and restored with Unifil Bond/Unifil F and Fuji Bond LC/Clearfil AP-X. One year later, 10 other teeth were restored with the same materials and the monkey was sacrificed after 24 hours. For in vitro examination, 6 more teeth were extracted from the monkey, restored in a similar manner with the two materials, and stored in 37°C water for 1 day. All specimens were subjected to the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test. The debonded surfaces of specimens were morphologically observed with the FE-SEM. Results: There were no statistically significant differences among the mean μTBS obtained for Unifil Bond/Unifil F under the three conditions (1 day and 1 year in vivo, and 1 day in vitro), and most specimens showed cohesive failure within resin composite (Unifil F). However, FE-SEM observations showed that resinous material within the hybrid layer made by Unifil Bond seemed to increase in porosity after 1 year. For Fuji Bond LC/Clearfil AP-X, μTBS at 1 day in vitro was significantly higher than that at 1 year in vivo, and bond strengths in vivo tended to decrease over time, although a statistically significant difference was not observed. From FE-SEM observations, most specimens showed cohesive failure within the adhesive (Fuji Bond LC). Conclusion: Bond strengths of the two adhesive systems tended to decrease for 1 year in vivo.

Purpose: To examine the bond strength of Cerec 2 inlays both to dentin surface by microtensile testing and to cavity walls by cavity adaptation in Class II restorations, using three luting materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS: VitaMark II disc was bonded to the coronal dentin surface with Clapearl DC (Clearfil DC)/Linerbond IIΣ (Linerbond 2V), AP-X/Linerbond IIΣ or Fluorocement (Panavia F)/ED Primer. After 24-hr storage in water, microtensile bond strengths (MTB) were measured. Additionally, Cerec inlays were luted to the MO cavities prepared in molars with the same materials. After thermocycling (x2000), the restorations were sectioned mesio-distally. Gap formation was microscopically examined along the cavity walls. Results: There was no significant difference in MTB among the materials (Clapearl DC: 20.89 ± 4.58 MPa, AP-X: 24.22 ± 5.97 MPa, Fluorocement: 19.82 ± 6.43 MPa, Scheffé, P > 0.05). The frequency of gap formation was higher in AP-X than in Clapearl DC and Fluorocement (χ²-test, P < 0.05). Debonding occurred more often at the luting material/dentin interface than at the inlay/luting material interface (Sign test, P < 0.05). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
This study investigated the effect of fluoride containing resin composites and bonding agents, as well as the topical fluoride (F) application on the inhibition of artificial caries progression by using a pH-cycling model with alternating demineralizing (pH:4.5) and remineralizing (pH:7.0) solutions. Two bonding systems (F-containing bonding system [Reactmer Bond: RB] and non-F containing bonding system [Clearfil SE Bond: SE]), two resin composites, (F-containing [Reactmer Paste: RP] and non-F containing [Clearfil AP-X: AP]) were used. A combination of each bonding agent and a resin composite, RB+RP, RB+AP, SE+RP and SE+AP, was placed in 2 x 3 x 1.5-mm cavities on root dentin of extracted molars (n=96). Specimens were subjected to pH-cycling for 6 or 12 weeks. Half of all specimens were immersed in 0.05% NaF solution for 1 minute once a day as a topical F application. After the pH cycling period, a microradiograph of each specimen was taken, and the outer lesion depth of the artificial caries was measured by means of image analyzing software. The depths of the outer lesions at different periods were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Sheffe's test at p=0.05. The combination that received F treatment showed reduced lesion depth compared to the same combination without F application. Except for the F application group of 12 weeks, there was no significant difference in lesion depth among each bonding and composite combination (p>0.05). At week 12 with the F application, RB+RP showed the shallowest lesion compared to the other combinations (p<0.05). The results indicated that the F application reduced the progression of artificial caries. Moreover, the combination of fluoride containing bonding agent and restorative material was the most effective for the inhibition of artificial caries progression based on the 12-week experimental period with topical F application.

- Abstract
The effect of the sphered particles on the contraction ratio of porcelain inlay processed by the cold isostatic pressure (CIP) method was investigated. The conventional lathe-cut porcelain powder was crushed to finer particles and the secondary particles with spherical shape by adding binders of acrylic resin, wax, and polyvinyl alcohol, respectively. Porcelain powder was molded as a disc-shaped green body in a refractory model and compressed at 200 MPa by CIP. From this green compact, the sintered porcelain was obtained by only one step of firing. The porcelain discs were then used for the measurements of contraction ratio, scanning microscopic observation, biaxial flexure strength, Vickers hardness, and density. Firing contraction was decreased to about 1% in the sphered particle groups, compared with 7% of the lathe-cut porcelain powder. Although biaxial flexure strength was about 85 MPa, which is lower than the 120 MPa of the control group, and the density was significantly decreased by about 10% from the 2.4 g/cm3 of the control substance, Vickers hardness, which ranged from 531 to 537, showed no significant differences among all of the groups. The CIP method could save labor in the process of making porcelain inlays, and sphered powders could contribute significantly to a decrease in the contraction ratio in the sintering process., (Copyright 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of dentin depth and tubule direction on the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of human dentin. Dentin slabs of 0.5-mm thickness were trimmed either from the mesial and distal (for specimens with the tubules parallel to the tensile force; parallel group) or from the occlusal and pulpal surfaces (perpendicular group) to reduce the cross-sectional area of the superficial, middle, and deep regions to 0.25 mm2, and subjected to microtensile testing. From SEM photomicrographs of the fractured specimens of the parallel group, the tubule density was investigated. For both parallel and perpendicular groups, superficial dentin showed a significantly higher UTS than deep dentin. The tubule density of superficial dentin was significantly lower than that of middle and deep dentin. When performing the microtensile bond test to deep dentin, it is possible that cohesive failure of dentin can occur at relatively low tensile stresses.
