The efficiency of simple treatments of the enamel surface with various polyfunctional acids and chelating agents was studied to obtain adequate adhesion between tooth surfaces and commercially available acrylic resins. Many water soluble acids induced bonding to enamel. Two ten-second treatments at three minute intervals with acid solutions such as 20% lactic acid may be useful in the clinical treatment of precarious lesions.
