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

Relationship between surface area for adhesion and tensile bond strength — Evaluation of a micro-tensile bond test

TL;DR: This new method permits measurement of high bond strengths without cohesive failure of dentin and it also permits multiple measurements to be made within a single tooth.
Journal ArticleDOI

State of the art etch-and-rinse adhesives

TL;DR: The therapeutic potential of etch-and-rinse adhesives has yet to be fully exploited, and incorporation of protease inhibitors in etchants and/or cross-linking agents in primers may increase the durability of resin-dentin bonds.
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

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.
