The Influence of Mineralizing Solutions on the Bonding of Composite Restorations to Dentin: Pre-treatment with N-phenylglycine-glycidyl Methacrylate Adduct

Abstract

The effect of surface treatment by acids or mineralizing solutions prior to the application of a primer (NPG-GMA) has been studied. The reproducibility of results and the number of bond failures occurring during storage in water for seven d are reported. Mineralizing solutions are shown to be capable of improving the efficacy of primers.
