title: Dentin adhesive containing 4-META. Effect of a cleanser on bonding.
abstract: The effect of the cavity cleanser on the efficacy of the experimental dentin bonding system, which was composed of dentin primer (aqueous solution of 35% hydroxyethyl methacrylate), a dentin bonding agent containing a functional monomer (4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride), and an urethane dimethacrylate based composite resin was examined. The bonding efficacy was evaluated by measuring the contraction gap in an experimental cavity which had both an enamel and a dentin cavity margin, and by measuring the tensile bond strength to the flat tooth surface. The whole cavity was cleaned by neutralized 0.5 M EDTA or 10% citric acid containing 3% ferric chloride (10-3 solution) prior to the application of the dentin primer. For the control, the enamel and dentin were etched and cleaned with a 38% phosphoric acid gel and EDTA respectively. It was possible to conclude that the cavity cleanser employing the 10-3 solution for 5s was effective both in cleaning to the dentin and the enamel cavity walls.
