Dentine permeability and cytotoxicity of a dentine bonding agent
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The objectives of this study were to create an in vitro situation which closest resembled the clinical situation by inclusion of human dentine discs at a specified anatomic location as barrier and evaluating if comparable ...
The effect of dentine-bonding agents on the microleakage of provisional crowns
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The use of provisional acrylic crowns is common practice with prosthodontic treatment. Provisional crowns are prone to marginal leakage and poor retention due to weak interim cements. The aim of this study was to assess ...
The retentive strength of bonded amalgam restorations
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Amalgam bonding agents have been shown to enhance retention of amalgam restorations by mechanical means. However, recent studies showed that the use o glass ionomer cements and resin cements as lining and bonding materials ...
An in vitro study of microleakage and surface microhardness of nanocomposite restorative materials
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The demand for posterior aesthetic restorations has dramatically increased in recent years. Several new materials have been developed with improved aesthetic, adhesive and mechanical properties. However, microleakage ...
