Objective:
The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate microtensile bond strength (microTBS) of two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive systems to the dentin of primary and permanent teeth.
Study Design:
Non-carious human teeth (12 primary molars and 12 premolars) were assigned to 3 groups according to the adhesive system. The adhesive systems were applied to flat superficial coronal dentin surfaces etched with phosphoric acid and composite resin blocks were built up. The teeth were sectioned to produce beam-shaped specimens with 0.81 mm2 cross-sectional area subjected to microTBS testing. MicroTBS data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test (a = 0.05).
Results:
The adhesive systems produced statistically similar mean microTBS to each other (p > 0.05) and no significant differences (p > 0.05) were found when the same material was applied to primary or permanent tooth dentin. The mean microTBS values (MPa) obtained were: Prime & Bond NT: 41.7 +/- 14.4 (permanent) and 40.8 +/- 13.4 (primary); Single Bond: 42.9 +/- 8.6 (permanent) and 41.4 +/- 11.9 (primary); Excite DSC: 46.3 +/- 11.3 (permanent teeth) and 43.4 +/- 12.0 (primary).
Conclusion:
There was no difference in the immediate microTBS of two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive systems when applied to the dentin of primary and permanent teeth.

02:40Chemical Bonds
Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons...
03:05Acid Strength and Molecular Structure
In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...

For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...
