Dentin bonding performed with hydrophobic resins using ethanol-wet bonding should be less susceptible to degradation but this hypothesis has never been validated. Objectives. This in vitro study evaluated stability of ...

The long-term effectiveness of chlorhexidine as a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor may be compromised when water is incompletely removed during dentin bonding. This study challenged this anti-bond degradation ...

The top asphalt layers of pavement structures are subjected to loading demands and multiple environmental factors. Even though existing studies on moisture damage in asphalt mixtures have demonstrated the deleterious effects ...

We report on the investigation of the surface morphology and DC conductivity of nanostructured layer-by-layer (LbL) films from nickel tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine (NiTsPc) alternated with either multi-walled carbon ...

Due to rain events historical monuments exposed to the atmosphere are frequently submitted to wet and dry cycles. During drying periods wetness is maintained in some confined regions and the corrosion product layer, generally ...

This study evaluated the effect of ethanol-wet-bonding technique (EWBT) on dentin adhesive infiltration, by means of nanohardness, elastic modulus and nanoleakage, and its stability after 6-month. Forty bovine incisors ...
