Self-etch adhesives that etch and prime simultaneously are becoming more acidic. We
hypothesized that the degree of acidic monomer conversion at the interface and within the …

Purpose: To test the hypotheses that microtensile bond strengths of single-step, self-etch
adhesives to hydrated dentin are adversely affected by delayed-activation of a light-cured …

Purpose To determine the microtensile bond strength (microTBS) of one-and two-step self-
etch adhesives bonded to sound dentin conditioned or not with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) …

One-step adhesives bond less effectively to enamel/dentin than do their multi-step versions.
To investigate whether this might be due to phase separation between adhesive ingredients …

Purpose: One-step self-etch adhesives have restricted use due to their acid-base
incompatibility with autocured composites and their behavior as permeable membranes …

Objectives. The purpose of this study is to provide direct and comprehensive information
regarding morphology, quality and chemistry of the interfaces between three self-etching …

OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to determine the wettability of dentine by four commercial self-
etch adhesives and evaluate their spreading rate on the dentine surface. Any correlation …

The morphologic correlates of bond degradation in self-etching primers have not been fully
elucidated. We hypothesized that there is no difference between the mechanism of …

Objective: This study examined, with the use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the
aggressiveness of three self-etching adhesive systems in penetrating dentin smear layers of …

Objectives To evaluate whether selective dentin etching protocols using reduced phosphoric
acid (H 3 PO 4) etching-times would affect the resin-dentin interaction of a universal …
