OBJECTIVES |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of different in vitro tests on the ranking of four dentin bonding systems (OptiBond FL, Solid bond, OptiBond Solo, Etch&Prime 3.0) and to determine operator influence on push-out test results. |
METHOD AND MATERIALS |
One-hundred eighty extracted human molars were used in this study. For all bonding systems, bond strengths were determined using the shear, tensile, and push-out tests. In the push-out test, two series of specimens were bonded by two operators. Additionally, margin adaptation in Class V cavities was evaluated using sca... |
RESULTS |
Both test methods and bonding systems revealed a significant influence on bond strength. Ranking of mean bond strengths was identical in the shear and tensile tests but different in the push-out test. In addition, material ranking in the push-out test was found to be operator dependent. No correlation was observed betw... |
CONCLUSION |
Comparisons of dentin bonding systems based on the results of different in vitro tests may be misleading. Operator influence on the results of push-out tests require further consideration.Orthodontic treatment need, outcome and residual treatment need in 15- and 20-year-olds. |
