Thick film thickness and hydrophobic dental adhesive technology for improved hydrolysis-resistant bonding to dentin. KU Leuven
Dental adhesives are indispensable in modern restorative dentistry. They enable adhesion of resin-based restorative and luting materials to hard tooth tissues. Dental adhesion today implies using one of two approaches, namely the etch-and-rinse (E&R) or self-etch (SE) bonding mode. E&R involves simultaneous etching of enamel and dentin using phosphoric acid. SE simplifies adhesion by bypassing the E&R process through incorporation ...
