Öğe Comparison of the mechanical and biological properties of self-adhering materials(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2016) Ulker, H. Esra; Erkan, Ali Ihsan; Gunaydin, Nuray; Kahvecioglu, Firdevs; Ulker, MustafaPurpose: The purpose of the present study was to compare the Vickers hardness numbers (VHNs), roughness numbers (RNs) and biological compatibility of glass carbomer (Glass Fill), resin-modified glass ionomer (Fuji II LC) and self-adhering flowable composite (Vertise Flow) materials. Materials and methods: Disc-shaped specimens of test materials (n=15/group) were prepared, and VHNs and RNs were determined after 24h. A direct contact test was used for cytotoxicity evaluation. Cell viability was measured for 24h post-exposition with a photometric test (MTT assay; n=16). Data were analysed using one-way analysis of variance with a post hoc Tukey's test, the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney U-test (p<0.05). Results: Fuji II LC had the highest VHN. The VHN of Fuji II LC differed significantly from those of the other materials (p<0.05). The RNs of Fuji II and Glass Fill were higher than that of Vertise Flow (p<0.05). The self-adhering materials were not significantly cytotoxic compared with the control group (p>0.05). Conclusions: The materials tested in this study showed a similar lack of cytotoxicity. The VHN of Fuji II LC was the highest, and the RN of Vertise Flow was the lowest.Öğe Cytotoxicity Testing of Temporary Luting Cements with Two- and Three-Dimensional Cultures of Bovine Dental Pulp-Derived Cells(HINDAWI PUBLISHING CORPORATION, 2013) Ulker, Hayriye Esra; Ulker, Mustafa; Gumus, Hasan Onder; Yalcin, Muhammet; Sengun, AbdulkadirThis study evaluated the cytotoxicity of eugenol-containing and eugenol-free temporary luting cements. For cytotoxicity testing, bovine pulp-derived cells transfected with Simian virus 40 Large T antigen were exposed to extracts of eugenol-containing (Rely X Temp E) and eugenol-free (Provicol, PreVISION CEM, and Rely X Temp NE) temporary luting cements for 24 h. The cytotoxicity of the same materials was also evaluated in a dentin barrier test device using three-dimensional cell cultures of bovine pulp-derived cells. The results of the cytotoxicity studies with two-dimensional cultures of bovine dental pulp-derived cells revealed that cell survival with the extracts of Rely X Temp E, Provicol, PreVISION CEM, and Rely X Temp NE was 89.1%, 84.9%, 92.3%, and 66.8%, respectively. Rely X Temp NE and Provicol showed cytotoxic effects on bovine dental pulp-derived cells (P < 0.05). The results of the dentin barrier test revealed that cell survival with the above-mentioned temporary cement was 101.5%, 91.9%, 93.5%, and 90.6%, respectively. None of the temporary luting cements significantly reduced cell survival compared with the negative control in the dentin barrier test (P > 0.05). Biologically active materials released from temporary luting cements may not influence the dentine-pulp complex if the residual dentine layer is at least 0.5 mm thick.Öğe Effect of alternative modes of application on microleakage of one-step self-etch adhesives(ELSEVIER TAIWAN, 2013) Ulker, Mustafa; Ulker, Hayriye Esra; Karabekiroglu, Said; Botsali, Murat Selim; Cetin, Ali RizaBackground/purpose: Contemporary one-step self-etch adhesives are certainly the most user-friendly adhesives; however, typically could not compete with the more traditional multi-step adhesives. This in vitro study evaluated the efficacy of two modes of application (double application or placement of a hydrophobic resin coating) for the reduction of microleakage, using three different one-step self-etch adhesives (AdheSE One VivaPen, lvoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein; Xeno V, Dentsply De Trey, Konstanz, Germany; OptiBond All-In-One, Kerr Italia S.r.l, Scafati, Italy). Materials and methods: We prepared Class V cavities with the occlusal margin in enamel and gingival margin in dentin on both buccal and lingual surfaces of 108 human molar teeth. Cavities were divided into nine groups according to the combination of adhesives and application modes used (n = 24). For applying adhesives, we followed three types of procedures: (1) according to the manufacturers' directions; (2) using a double-application method; and (3) with the additional placement of a hydrophobic resin layer after following the manufacturers' directions. We restored the cavities with a composite resin. After thermocycling (500 cycles at 5 degrees C/55 degrees C) and immersion in 0.5% basic fuchsin, we sectioned the teeth and evaluated them for microleakage using a stereo microscope (20x). Enamel and dentin margins were scored separately, and we analyzed the data using Kruskal-Wallis, Bonferroni-corrected Mann-Whitney U, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Results: Application of a hydrophobic resin over the cured Xeno V adhesive decreased the amount of microleakage at the enamel margins, compared with the application according to the manufacturer's instructions (P = 0.005). Both application modes decreased the amount of microleakage at the dentin margins with AdheSE One VivaPen adhesive, compared with application according to the manufacturer's instructions (P < 0.001). With the OptiBond All-In-One adhesive, no significant difference between application modes was observed. Conclusion: Alternative modes of application did not adversely affect the sealing ability of one-step self-etch adhesives. Depending on the type of adhesive, alternative modes of application may contribute to low microleakage values. Copyright (C) 2012, Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of luting cement thicknesses on the push-out bond strength of the fiber posts. Materials and methods. Sixty human maxillary canine teeth were endodontically treated. Post spaces were prepared and root specimens randomly divided into three groups: Group 1: etch-and-rinse (Variolink II/Exite DSC), Group 2: self-etch (Panavia F2.0/ED primer) and Group 3: self-adhesive (Clearfil SA Cement). Then each group was divided into four sub-groups according to the cement thickness, as follows: Sub-group 1: 0.35 mm, Sub-group 2: 0.25 mm, Sub-group 3: 0.15 mm, and Sub-group 4: 0.05 mm. Three slices of 1 mm thickness were obtained from each root specimen (n = 15). Push-out tests were performed and data was analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests. Results. The etch-and-rinse system (Variolink II) had a significantly higher bond strength compared with the other systems (p < 0.05). The thickest cement group (0.35 mm) had a significantly lower bond strength compared with the 0.15 and 0.05 mm groups in the etch-and-rinse and self-adhesive groups (p < 0.05). In the self-etch group, the cement thicknesses did not significantly affect the bond strength (p > 0.05). Conclusions. The etch-and-rinse system offered better bonding to root dentine than the self-adhesive and self-etch systems. The increases in cement thickness significantly reduced the bond strength of fiber posts to root dentine for both the etch-and-rinse and self-adhesive systems.Öğe Effects of different cusp coverage restorations on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary premolars(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2016) Kalay, Tugba Serin; Yildirim, Tahsin; Ulker, MustafaStatement of problem. Cusp coverage restorations for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth represent a conservative approach in terms of function and esthetics. However, limited scientific data are available regarding the optimum reduction design and thicknesses. Purpose. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of cusp coverage restorations with different cusp reduction designs and reduction thicknesses on endodontically treated maxillary premolars (ETMPs) with mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities. Material and methods. One hundred sixty-five extracted intact human maxillary premolars were divided into 11 groups: G1-10 (test groups) and G11 (intact group). In the test groups, all of the teeth were restored with composite resin after canal treatments with MOD cavities. However, the cusps of the G1-9 teeth were reduced with combinations of different thicknesses (1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 mm) and designs (beveled, horizontal, and anatomic). The specimens were subjected to 105 cycles of 50 N mechanical loading. Next, the specimens were subjected to a compressive load at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until fracture. The fractured specimens were analyzed to determine the fracture pattern. Two-way ANOVA followed by the Fisher least significant difference (LSD) test was used to analyze the interaction between groups. Results. The fracture resistance values increased with increases in the cusp reductions. The fracture resistance values of the G6 (2.5 mm, anatomic) and G9 (3.5 mm, anatomic) groups were significantly greater than that of the MOD group. However, the G6, G8 (3.5 mm, horizontal), and G9 groups were comparable with G11. The highest restorable fracture rates were observed in G6 and G9 Conclusions. Cusp reduction design and thickness influenced the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of cusp coverage restorations of ETMPs with MOD cavities. The teeth restored with anatomic cusp reduction designs with reduction thicknesses of at least 2.5 mm exhibited greater fracture resistance and more frequent restorable fractures.Öğe Silorane-Based Composite: Depth of Cure, Surface Hardness, Degree of Conversion, and Cervical Microleakage in Class II Cavities(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011) Kusgoz, Adem; Ulker, Mustafa; Yesilyurt, Cemal; Yoldas, Oguz Hamdi; Ozil, Musa; Tanriver, MehmetObjective: The purpose of this study was to determine the depth of cure, degree of conversion (DC), hardness, and cervical sealing ability of silorane-based composite (Filtek Silorane [FS; 3M, Seefeld, Germany]) and to compare with methacrylate-based composites (MBCs = Filtek Supreme XT [FSXT] and Filtek P60 [FP60]). Materials and Methods: The DC and hardness of every material were evaluated after 1, 7, and 30 days. The depth of cure was determined using the ISO 4049: 2000 standard. Microleakage was evaluated by measuring dye penetration across the gingival wall in cross-sectioned specimens. Results: FS showed lower depth of cure than FSXT and FP60. The DC of FS was significantly lower when compared to FP60 and FSXT. FS exhibited lower hardness than both FSXT and FP60 after 1 day of storage. The hardness of FS remained unchanged during the storage period. FS showed reduced microleakage scores compared to FSXT and showed similar microleakage scores compared to FP60. Conclusions: In conclusion, the DC and cure depth of FS are lower than those of MBCs. However, FS revealed stable hardness in water that is comparable to MBCs. The sealing ability of FS is similar or even better than that of MBCs.
