Aspects of silane coupling agents and surface conditioning in dentistry: An overview
Abstract: Objectives: To give an overview of aspects of silane coupling agents and surface conditioning in dentistry.Methods: Currently, silane coupling agents are used as adhesion promoters.

Caries-preventive effect of sealants produced with altered glass-ionomer materials, after 2 years
Abstract: Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the caries-preventive effect of sealants produced with a high-viscosity glass-ionomer with an elevated powder-liquid ratio (ART), of having energy added to this glass-ionomer, and that of glass-carbomer, in comparison to that of resin composite sealants.Methods: The randomized controlled trial covered 407 children, with a mean age of 8 years. At a school compound three dentists placed sealants in pits and fissures of high caries-risk children. Evaluation by two independent evaluators was conducted after 0.5, 1 and 2 years. The Kaplan–Meier survival method, ANOVA and t-test were used in analyzing the data.Results: 1352 first permanent molars were sealed. 6.6% of children and 6.8% of sealants dropped out within 2 years. …
