Demineralization capacity of commercial 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate-based all-in-one adhesive

We determined the amounts of calcium salt of 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP-Ca salt) and dicalcium phosphate dihydride (DCPD) with an amorphous phase developed during the application of commercial MDP-based all-in-one adhesives to enamel and dentin. This is because the demineralization by MDP and following calcium salt formation of MDP may be limited by an ionic bond formation of MDP to hydroxyapaptite in the enamel and dentin and following intermediary layer formation of MDP, since MDP forms a chemically-stable adsorption layer.
