Background. Patients seeking orthodontic treatment are increasing, and clinicians often
have to place brackets on various surfaces aside from enamel. It is crucial to know what …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the influence of different surface treatments of six novel CAD/CAM
materials on the bonding effectiveness of two luting composites. MATERIALS AND …

Statement of problem The process prior to cementing a glass ceramic requires that the
surface be etched with hydrofluoric acid in order to improve its adhesion. HF acid …

Objectives To investigate the effect of different surface treatments on optical, topographical
and mechanical properties of CAD/CAM lithium silicate-based glass ceramics (LSC's) and …

Answer: Glassy matrix ceramics, also known as silicabased ceramics, are typically
reinforced with feldspar, leucite, fluormica glass or lithium disilicate. Glass ceramics are acid …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of hydrofluoric acid (HF)
concentration, etching time, and application of phosphoric acid (PA) followed by …

This review examines the modifying factors affecting bond strength in various bonding
scenarios, particularly their relevance to the longevity of dental restorations. Understanding …

Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of in-vitro bond strength to glass-
ceramics using hydrofluoric acid (HF) at lower (< 5%) and higher (> 5%) concentrations …

Endocrowns represent a conservative and esthetic restorative alternative to full coverage
crowns. They can be constructed using various CAD/CAM materials that can provide a …

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of two surface conditioning methods, namely conventional
hydrofluoric acid vs self-etching primer, and the application of adhesive on the bond strength …
