TL;DR: There appeared to be a trend for higher bond strength values with bovine than with human dentin, and the shear test produced more true adhesive failures; thus it may be preferable to use aShear test for adhesion testing.

TL;DR: Manufacturers need to provide quantitative information about DOC at specific activation times and light intensities for their entire range of resin materials and shades so that the dentist can devise a placement technique that will ensure adequate cure of the bulk of a restoration.

TL;DR: This study indicates that considering corrosion resistance, 2205 duplex stainless steel is an improved alternative to 316L for orthodontic bracket fabrication when used in conjunction with titanium, its alloys, or stainless steel arch wires.

TL;DR: From the Raman spectroscopy results, the hybrid layer represents a gradual transition in the relative amount of adhesive from the resin side to dentin side and evidence of poor saturation of the adhesive resin in the demineralized dentin with the one-bottle adhesive system was detected.

TL;DR: Three hydrophilic poly(vinyl siloxane) impression materials, containing an intrinsic surfactant, were compared with a hydrophobicPolyether impression material, and their wettability was comparable to the polyether material, indicating that the topical surfactants was more effective than the intrinsic surfACTants.
