Evaluation of Caries-Free Restorations Bonded with Various Adhesive Systems: In Vitro Study by Morakot Piemjai, Pareewan Chantarawej, Nobuo Nakabayashi

“…No dye penetration into the tooth-resin interface was found in Super-Bond D-Liner II Plus and AQ Bond groups which demonstrated a constant hybrid layer after a chemical challenge. The leakage distance at the cementum/dentin-resin interface of All-Bond 2, Clearfil Protect Bond, and non-adhesive amalgam (positive control) groups was significantly higher than the distance of dye penetration into the adjacent demineralized root surface (p<0.05). …”
