Bonding amalgam to tooth structure: a scanning electron microscope study.
The purpose of this scanning electron microscope study was to observe the interface between dentin and amalgam utilizing various adhesive resin cements. The adhesive resin materials used in this study were Imperva Dual, Geristore, and Panavia. The scanning electron micrographs revealed that bonds were established between amalgam, adhesive resins, and dentin.
