title: Effect of 10% phosphoric acid conditioning on the efficacy of a dentin bonding system.
abstract: The efficacy of a commercial total-etch wet-bonding dentin bonding system and the effect of conditioning using 10% phosphoric acid both on the Ca-content in the substrate dentin and on the efficacy of the experimental contraction gap-free dentin bonding system were evaluated by measuring the wall-to-wall polymerization contraction gap width of a commercial light-activated resin composite filled into a cylindrical cavity prepared in extracted human dentin. The Ca-content in the dentin was measured with an EDS. Complete marginal adaptation was obtained only in the experimental contraction gap-free dentin bonding system group. The Ca-content in the dentin was rapidly reduced by the 10% phosphoric acid conditioning. It was concluded that the dentist should not decalcify the dentin cavity wall possibly by using a dentin conditioner such as 10% phosphoric acid because the resin composite paste is apt to separate easily from the decalcified dentin cavity wall during polymerization.
