title: [Adhesion of 4-META/MMA-TBB resin to enamel treated with EDTA metal ammonium solutions. Effect of Fe.NH4, Co.NH4 and Cu.NH4 salts].
abstract: EDTA 3-2 (Fe.NH4), EDTA 3-2 (Co.NH4) and EDTA 3-2 (Cu.NH4) at pH 7.4 were investigated to determine effective pretreatment to promote strong adhesion of 4-META/MMA-TBB resin to enamel with minimum demineralization. EDTA 5-0 (NH4) solution which does not contain a metal salt was also investigated as a control. The amount of Ca2+ demineralized during the pretreatment and the tensile bond strength to enamel were measured. The pretreated enamel surface and the resin surface of the adhesion junction were observed with SEM. When the enamel surface was pretreated with EDTA 3-2 (Fe.NH4) for 60 seconds, the tensile bond strength of the resin to enamel was 7.1 MPa after the thermal cycling test. No direct correlation was observed between the amount of Ca2+ demineralized and the tensile bond strength. The stable and strong bonding to enamel was taken place without strong mechanical retention.
