Boron nitride nanotubes as novel fillers for improving the properties of dental adhesives

Conclusions The incorporation of BNNTs up to 0.15 wt% improved the chemical and mechanical properties of dental adhesives and promoted mineral deposition. Significance Incorporation of boron nitride nanotubes into adhesive resin materials improved physical-chemical properties and increased mineral deposition on its surface allowing enhanced properties of the resin-dentin interface. Thus, the novel adhesive material is promising as a dental adhesive and may contribute to the stability of the dentin-resin bonding.
