The aim of this study was to evaluate the tensile bond strength of 4META/MMA-TBB resin to enamel using a self-etching primer with
saliva contamination. The polished human molar surface was etched
with phosphoric acid or Megabond self-etching primer with or without
saliva contamination,then bonded with Superbond C&B resin cement.
The tensile bond strengths were measured after immersion in water at
37
C for 24 hours.Without saliva contamination,there was not significantly different between phosphoric acid etching and Megabond (P
0.05). When the surfaces were saliva contaminated, using phosphoric
acid etching showed decreasing in bond strength significantly (P
0.05). Comparing to using Megabond, the bond strength decreased
nonsignificantly (P0.05). The SEM showed the difference of enamel
surface after phosphoric acid etching and Megabond. In conclusion,
comparing the tensile bond strength, Megabond is a better candidate
for etching enamel than phosphoric acid when clinical used.
reduces of clinical steps and operation time compared to phosphoric acid etching.In case of orthodontic
treatment, the use of phosphoric acid etchings show
the association with enamel loss and a risk ofenamel
cracks and scratches after debonding brackets (6,7).
In addition, phosphoric acid etching has also been
plete the prevention of saliva and blood contamination. Reports show that using phosphoric acid etch-
acid etching.
Instead of phosphoric acid, self-etching primer
have become widely used in composite resin restoration (4, 5). Self-etching primers function as both an
tion. The teeth were etched with Megabond selfetching primer for 30 seconds.The excessive solution
was evaporated using compressed air.Then,the self
-etching primed enamel was contaminated with 20l
of human fresh whole saliva.The contaminant fluids
were left on the surface for 30 seconds to simulate
extremely severe clinical conditions.
The area of adhesion was standardized by using a
piece of 300m-thick masking tape with a hole
measuring 4.0 mm. in diameter.
