Few studies have been performed on the cohesive tensile strength of flowable resin composites and hybrids, or on the coupling strength of flowables to hybrid composites. Thus, the purpose of this ...study was to measure interfacial microtensile bond strengths between hybrid resin composite and flowable resin composite/compomer.
A polyvinyl siloxane mold was used to fabricate specimens for 9 groups, each consisting of 15 rectangular beams (2 x 2 x 20 mm). Flowable and hybrid resin composites and their paired couplings with each manufacturer's product line were tested. Materials include Heliomolarflow, Revolution, and Dyractflow as representative flowable resin composites and compomer. Heliomolar HB, Prodigy, and Esthet X were selected as representive hybrid resin composites. Resin specimens were cured for a total of 80 s and immersed in water for 7 days. A microspecimen former was used to trim rectangular specimens into specimens with a circular cross section (diameter = 1.0 mm) with a 2 mm gauge length. Specimens were subjected to tensile forces in a passive-gripping space mounted on a Vitrodyne machine.
The results are expressed in MPa. Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA on ranks demonstrated significant differences in microtensile bond strength among groups (p < 0.001).
The cohesive tensile strength of resin composites were material dependent. Flowable and hybrid composites from the same manufacturer have comparable cohesive tensile strengths. The coupling strength of flowable/hybrid combinations were comparable to cohesive strength of the hybrid composites with the exception of Esthet X/Dyractflow, where the coupling was stronger than the cohesive strength of either resin composite alone.
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Although self-etching bonding systems (SES) are indicated to prepare dental enamel for bonding, concerns have been expressed regarding their effectiveness. The aim of this study ...was to analyze the etching pattern (EP) of nine SES in comparison with 35% and 34% phosphoric acid etchants (FA) on intact (IN) and ground (GR) enamel surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-two human third molars were sectioned in mesial-distal and buccal-lingual directions, and four dental fragments were obtained from each tooth. Half of the fragments were ground using 600-grit SiC paper and the other half remained intact. The fragments were randomly assigned into 22 groups, according to the texture of enamel surface (IN and GR) and the technique to etch the enamel (34% FA, 35% FA, AdheSE primer; Brush & Bond; Clearfil Protect Bond primer; iBond; One-up Bond F; OptiBond Solo Plus primer; Tyrian SPE primer; Unifil Bond primer and Xeno III). Conditioners were applied to IN and GR enamel surfaces, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Specimens etched with phosphoric acids were washed with water, while the surfaces treated with SES were submitted to alternate rinsing with alcohol and acetone. The specimens were dried, sputter-coated and examined under a scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: For both IN and GR enamel surfaces, the EP of 34 and 35% FA was deeper and more homogeneous in comparison to EP of SES, except for Tyrian SPE. The acidic monomer action of self-etching systems was more effective on GR enamel. CONCLUSION: Most of the SES are less aggressive than phosphoric acid etchants and their etching effects were reduced on intact enamel surfaces.OBJETIVO: Apesar dos sistemas adesivos autocondicionantes (SAA) serem indicados para aplicação no esmalte dental, preocupação tem sido relatada com relação a sua efetividade. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o padrão de condicionamento ácido (PCA) promovido por nove SAA e comparar ao PCA produzido pelo ácido fosfórico (35% e 34% - AF) no esmalte intacto (EI) ou abrasionado (EA). MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Vinte e dois terceiros molares humanos foram seccionados nos sentidos mésio-distal e vestíbulo-lingual, e quatro fragmentos dentais foram obtidos a partir de cada dente. Metade dos fragmentos tiveram o esmalte abrasionado com lixas de SiC (600) e a outra metade permaneceu intacta. Os fragmentos foram divididos em 22 grupos, de acordo com a textura da superfície do esmalte (EI e EA) e a técnica de condicionar o esmalte (AF 34 %, AF 35%, AdheSE primer; Brush & Bond; Clearfil Protect Bond primer; iBond; One-up Bond F; OptiBond Solo Plus primer; Tyrian SPE primer; Unifil Bond primer e Xeno III). Os agentes condicionadores foram aplicados nos EI e EA, de acordo com as instruções dos fabricantes. Espécimes tratados com AF foram lavados com água, enquanto os dentes tratados com SAA foram tratados com banhos alternados de álcool e acetona. Os espécimes foram secos, metalizados e observados em microscopia eletrônica de varredura. RESULTADOS: Em ambas as superfícies (EI e EA), o PCA dos AF (34 e 35%) foi mais profundo e homogêneo, quando comparados ao PCA produzido pelos SAA, exceto para o adesivo Tyrian SPE. A ação dos monômeros ácidos dos SAA foi mais efetiva no EA. CONCLUSÃO: A maioria dos SAA é menos agressiva que o ácido fosfórico e seus efeitos condicionadores são reduzidos em superfícies de EI.

Coco presented a challenge for the garment shading team. Firstly, the scale of the movie is significant with both the human and skeleton worlds filled with primary, secondary, and background ...characters. Secondly, the garments speak to a specific culture and our shading needed to be very detailed to convey both modern Mexico and Mexican culture through time. We had to employ new techniques for shading seams and embroidery, optimizing render cost, and handling variation in crowd scenes.
