Shear Bond Strength of an Etch-and-rinse Adhesive to Er:YAG Laser- and/or Phosphoric Acid-treated Dentin

Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects, 2013
Background and aims. Er:YAG laser irradiation has been claimed to improve the adhesive properties of dentin; therefore, it has been proposed as an alternative to acid etching. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the shear bond strength of

Comparative Evaluation of the Etching Pattern of Er,Cr:YSGG & Acid Etching on Extracted Human Teeth-An ESEM Analysis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Etching of enamel and dentin surfaces increases the surface area of the substrate for better bonding of the tooth colored restorative materials. Acid etching is the most commonly used method.

The effect of different deproteinization agents on microleakage and penetration depth of fissure sealants in permanent molars: An in vitro study

Contemporary Pediatric Dentistry, 2023
Aim: Acid etching alone is insufficient to remove organic residues from enamel, which can compromise the microretention of fissure sealants and lead to microleakage and failure. This study evaluated the impact of four different deproteinization agents on
