Water sorption and solubility of four self-etching, self-adhesive resin luting agents

J Adhes Dent. 2010 Feb;12(1):39-43. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a17539. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the water sorption and water solubility of four self-etching, self-adhesive resin luting agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four self-etching, self-adhesive resin luting agents (RelyX Unicem, Maxcem, Biscem, Multilink Sprint) and one classic resin luting agent (Multilink Automix) as […]

Degree of conversion and antimicrobial activity of etch-and-rinse versus self-etching adhesives

J Adhes Dent. 2010 Feb;12(1):33-8. doi: 10.3290/j.jad.a17535. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: This study was designed to compare the self-etching with the etch-and-rinse adhesives regarding the degree of conversion and antimicrobial activity against cariogenic bacteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The materials used were AdheSE (two-step self-etching), Adper Prompt L-Pop (self-etching, single-step) and Excite (etch-and-rinse) […]
