Does electroBond improve immediate dentin microtensile bond strength of two etch-and-rinse adhesives?
The use of an electric current produced by ElectroBond during the application of two-step etch-and-rinse adhesives may enhance resin impregnation, thus improving dentin hybridization. Further studies should be done to confirm that this device can similarly improve adhesive application in vivo.
Cigarette smoke induces pro-inflammatory and matrix-destructive responses in RASF. Cigarette smoke enhances the expression of SIRT6 in vitro and in vivo. TNFα increases the levels of SIRT6. SIRT6 diminishes MMP1 production under cigarette smoke extract and TNFα stimulation.
