Comparative biomorphologic analysis about three dentinal adhesives of last generations
1Dipartimento di Medicina Sperimentale, Sezione di Anatomia, Università di Palermo, Italia.
Summary
This study compared three dental adhesives: Syntac, Excite, and Prompt. Prompt demonstrated superior infiltration and adhesion to dental tissues compared to the others.
Area of Science:
- Dental Materials Science
- Biomorphological Analysis
- Adhesive Dentistry
Background:
- Dental adhesives are crucial for bonding restorative materials to tooth structure.
- Last-generation enamel dentinal adhesives aim to improve bond strength and durability.
- Understanding the biomorphological properties of these adhesives is essential for clinical success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a comparative biomorphological analysis of three leading dental adhesives: Syntac, Excite, and Prompt.
- To evaluate and compare their infiltration and adhesion properties to dental tissues (enamel and dentin).
- To determine the most effective adhesive based on these critical performance characteristics.
Main Methods:
- Biomorphological analysis of Syntac, Excite, and Prompt dental adhesives.
- Comparative assessment of infiltration capabilities into dental substrates.
- Evaluation of adhesion properties to enamel and dentinal tissues.
Main Results:
- Syntac exhibited limited adhesion to dental tissues.
- Excite demonstrated good infiltration capacity with moderate adhesion.
- Prompt showed infiltration capacity comparable to Excite, but with superior adhesion and ease of use.
Conclusions:
- Prompt appears to be the most effective among the tested adhesives due to its balanced infiltration and superior adhesion.
- The ease of use of Prompt further enhances its clinical applicability.
- These findings provide valuable insights for selecting appropriate dental adhesives in clinical practice.

609
Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and...

44.5K
Adhesion occurs when one type of molecule is attracted to a different molecule. Water exhibits adhesive properties in the presence of polar surfaces, such as glass or cellulose in plants. For instance, when water is poured into a glass, the positively charged hydrogen molecules of water are more attracted to the negatively charged oxygen molecules in the silica than to the oxygen in neighboring water molecules.

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

3.4K
Plants have rigid cell walls that are made up of cell wall polysaccharides that mediate cell-cell adhesion. The primary cell walls of plants consist of two independent and interacting polysaccharide networks: a pectin matrix that embeds the second network comprising cellulose and hemicelluloses.
Pectins are complex heteropolymers mainly composed of negatively-charged α-D-glucopyranosyl uronic acid and some neutral glycosyl residues such as α-L-rhamnopyranose, α-L-arabinofuranose,...

Animals have evolved different strategies for excretion, the removal of waste from the body. Most waste must be dissolved in water to be excreted, so an animal’s excretory strategy directly affects its water balance.

6.1K
The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...
