Journal ArticleDOI

Collagen Degradation by Host-derived Enzymes during Aging

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that collagen degradation occurred over time, via host-derived matrix metalloproteinases that are released slowly over time through proteolytic enzyme inhibitors or mineral oil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-step adhesives are permeable membranes.

TL;DR: Morphological manifestations of delayed light-activation of composite in the hydrated dentine bonding substrate were exclusively located along the composite-adhesive interface, and were present as large voids, resin globules and honeycomb structures that formed partitions around a myriad of small blisters along the fractured interfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chlorhexidine Arrests Subclinical Degradation of Dentin Hybrid Layers in vivo

TL;DR: Self-destruction of collagen matrices occurs rapidly in resin-infiltrated dentin in vivo and may be arrested with the use of chlorhexidine as an MMP inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aggressiveness of contemporary self-etching adhesives. Part II: etching effects on unground enamel.

TL;DR: Etching patterns of aprismatic enamel and the subsurface hybrid layer morphology, as revealed by SEM, varied according to the aggressiveness of the self-etching adhesives, which exhibited the mildest etching patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of resin hydrophilicity on water sorption and changes in modulus of elasticity.

TL;DR: Comparing the water sorption and modulus of elasticity of five experimental neat resins of increasing hydrophilicity, as ranked by their Hoy's solubility parameters and five commercial resins found all resins stored in water exhibited a time-dependent decrease in modulus that was proportional to their degree of water Sorption.
