title: The retentive ability of acid-etched dentin.
abstract: 1. The retentive quality of dentin to Sevriton, Restodent, and Nuva-Seal was not enhanced by acid etching in this investigation. 2. Acid etching smooths and cleans the dentinal surface. 3. Acid etching clears tubule orifices slightly. 4. Sevriton was the most adhesive material tested. Nuva-Seal was the least retentive of the three materials studied.
