Performance of a Universal Adhesive on Etched and Non-Etched Surfaces: Changes in Dentin Permeability

Abstract

Yasin Ahmed, Patrick Sharrock and Genevieve Gregoire

Hybridization process for dentin is well known, but remains a difficult challenge as it is dependent on many factors related to dentin substrate, adhesive nature including its solvent. The development of universal adhesives followed the all-in-one concept of existing one-step self-etch adhesives, thus requiring water in their formulation to ionize hydrophilic acid monomers. Most often, carboxylate and/or phosphate groups are their primary functional monomers [1].
