Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of self-etching primer in adhering 4-META/MMA-TBB resin to bovine enamel. In this study, we designed an original self-etching primer which contained an aqueous mixture of 4-MET, 35 wt% HEMA, and ferric chloride. The polished bovine enamel surface was treated with self-etching primer for 30 seconds. Tensile bond strength of 4-META/MMA-TBB resin to enamel was measured after 1-day immersion in water at 37 degrees C. The self-etching primer containing 30 wt% 4-MET and 35 wt% HEMA (4MET30) gave a significantly higher bond strength of 11.2+/-2.8 MPa than other self-etching primers. The addition of ferric chloride into 4MET30 primer significantly decreased tensile bond strength. SEM observation revealed that 4MET30 treatment produced no distinct dissolution on enamel. When compared with phosphoric acid etching, the self-etching primer containing 30 wt% 4-MET and 35 wt% HEMA was more superior in adhering 4-META/MMA-TBB resin to enamel.
