Clinical evaluation of polypropylene glycol-based caries detecting dyes for primary and permanent carious dentin

Biodegradable polymers for dental tissue engineering and regeneration

“…Münchow et al synthesized an acidic monomer based on PPG phosphate methacrylate to constitute a self-etch adhesive system for the enamel [293]. PPG is also used to produce caries detecting dyes [294]. Similarly, poly(tetrahydrofuran)s are produced to decrease the cytotoxicity of epoxy-based dental resins.…”

Hardness, elasticity and ultrastructure of primary tooth dentin bonded with a self-reinforcing one-step self-etch adhesive

“…For the carious teeth, the caries-infected dentin was stained with a caries detector (Caries Check, Nippon Shika Yakuhin, Shimonoseki, Japan). 19 Stained, caries-infected dentin was removed initially with hand instruments. This was followed by the use of water-cooled, low-speed, round stainless steel burs until all of the stained dentin was removed.…”

“…This was followed by the use of water-cooled, low-speed, round stainless steel burs until all of the stained dentin was removed. 19 Bond Force, the one-step self-etch adhesive used in this study, is a single-bottle adhesive with a pH of 2.3. The adhesive was applied on the dentin and left for 20 s. This was followed by gentle air-drying for 10 s, then light-curing for 10 s with a quartz-tungsten-halogen light-curing unit (Hyper Lightel, Kuraray Medical Inc.) that had an output intensity of 600 mW/cm 2 .…”

Quality of the interface of primary tooth dentin bonded with antibacterial fluoride-releasing adhesive

“…For the carious teeth, the caries-infected dentin was stained with a caries detector (Caries Check, Nippon Shika Yakuhin, Shimonoseki, Japan). 25 Stained, caries-infected dentin was removed initially with hand instruments. Water-cooled, low-speed, round stainless steel burs were then employed to remove all the stained dentin.…”
