Cross-Compatibility of Methacrylate-Based Resin Composites and Etch-and-Rinse One-Bottle Adhesives

Abstract

Cross-compatibility between different combinations of methacrylate-based resin composites and etch-and-rinse one-bottle adhesives was evidenced for products from different manufacturers. This represents a desirable property of adhesives as it allows the flexibility to select different composite systems based on the specific restorative needs. SUMMARYObjective: To compare dentin shear bond strength (SBS) of four combinations of lightactivated one-bottle adhesives and composites to determine if cross-compatibility exists, and to determine if the use of the same manufacturer's adhesive and composite results in higher SBS than systems that combine different manufacturers' products.Methods: One hundred sixty human third molars were used for bonding (n=10). Specimens were treated with 37% phosphoric acid and one of four etch-and-rinse adhesives. Specimens were placed in a bonding jig, which was filled with one of four composites. Adhesives PQ1 (Ultradent), Excite (Ivoclar-Vivadent), Optibond Solo Plus (Kerr), and Single Bond (3M-ESPE) and composites Vit-l-Escence

Restorative Technique Selection in Class IV Direct Composite Restorations: A Simplified Method

“…Although different manufacturers' resin composite and adhesive systems were combined to treat this patient, it has been demonstrated that etch-andrinse adhesive systems can be safely used with composites from different manufacturers without compromising bond strength. 15 The three-step etchand-rinse adhesive system was used instead of the self-etching adhesive system supplied by the resin composite manufacturer because it provides a more reliable enamel bond and has been demonstrated in many clinical trials to be very effective. 12,16 In addition, both manufacturers claim that the products used in this case are compatible.…”

Compressive strength of dental composites photo-activated with different light tips

“…Their development and formulation are based on the fact that the addition of inert fillers to acrylic and dimethacrylate resins can significantly improve certain properties. The effect of filler depends on the type, shape, size and amount used and on the existence of efficient coupling between filler and matrix resin [54][55][56]. Many properties (e.g.…”

Comparative Study Regarding the Compressive Strength of Different Composite Resins Used for Direct Restorations

“…Moreover, when wet materials are tested, hydrolysis and polymerization of the silane phase inside the nanoclusters causes changes in stress transmission both inside and outside the nanoclusters. The major consequence would be the decrease of the mechanical deformation of the clusters which will induce the increase of the local tolerance to stress [29][30][31][32][33][34].…”
