Bonding Reactions of Dental Self-Adhesive Cements with Synthetic Hydroxyapatite as a Function of the Polymerization Protocol by Roger Borges, Carlos Frederico de Oliveira Graeff, Juliana Marchi, Paulo Henrique Perlatti D'Alpino

“…The interaction of cements with hydroxyapatite is chemical in nature and leads to the formation of calcium salts, which may favor better integrity and longevity of adhesive restorations. The polymerization protocol affects the chemical interaction in mixtures of self-adhesive cements and hydroxyapatite, influencing the formation of these salts and the establishment of intermolecular interactions between the HAp and the cements.…”
