A in vitro study on the effect of tensile bond strength of visible light activated resin to enamel using 5, 15 and 45 secs. washing times etched with gel and aqueous etchants

The acid etch technique has long been introduced by Buonocore since 1955 to enhance bonding of resin to tooth surface. Washing the etched surface has been found to greatly improve the bond strenght between resin and tooth. This study evaluated the effects of 5,15 and 45 secs. washing times using gel...
