Influence of acid-etching or double-curing time on dentin bond strength of one-step self-etch adhesives
Publication date: Available online 24 December 2014 Source:The Saudi Journal for Dental Research Author(s): Mohammed Q. Alqahtani This in-vitro study was undertaken to investigate the effects of an optional etching step with 35% phosphoric acid or double curing time on the shear bond strength (SBS) of one-step self-etch adhesives to dentin. A significant improvement in shear bond strengths was demonstrated when dentin was acid-etched with 35% phosphoric acid prior to the application of one-step self-etch adhesives. The use of curing time double that recommended by the manufacturers of the respective adhesives was capa...
