This study compared the marginal leakage in Class V restorations using three different GIC bases and a composite resin sandwich. The specimens were randomly divided into three equal groups, and the following GIC materials were used as bases: Group I: Ketac-Bond Aplicap; Group II: GC Dentin Cement; Group III: Shofu GlasIonomer Base. The results indicated less microleakage in restorations with a Shofu GlasIonomer Base while no statistical differences were noted between Ketac-Bond Aplicap and GC Dentin Cement.
This study investigated the cohesive bond strengths of glass-ionomer cement at three setting and etching intervals and compared these bonds to the shear strength of the material itself. Bonded cylinders were created and then sheared using the Instron Universal Testing Machine. Analysis of bond values of glass ionomer added to glass ionomer indicate bond variability and low cohesive bond strength of the material. Bond values of unbonded glass-ionomer material indicate that the material itself is stronger than bonds established between bonded samples.

This article examines and compares the extent of microleakage after 24 hours in freshly extracted teeth using three newer or "third generation" dentin bonding agents. Gluma/Pekalux and Scotchbond 2/Silux were more effective in preventing microleakage in cementum/dentin margins than was Universal Bond/Prisma Micro-fine.

Questionnaires were mailed to 58 department chairpersons of Operative Dentistry inviting comments about their sterilization and asepsis procedures. Results indicate that dental schools are responding to infection-control procedures in a variety of ways.
