Effect of phosphoric acid etching on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a self-etch adhesive (SEA)

INTRODUCTION: One-step, self-etch adhesives (SEA) have become increasingly popular because of the simplified application technique. Furthermore, SEAs are reported to perform comparatively to etch-and-rinse (ER) and self-etch primer (SEP) systems. The ability of SEA systems to perform as well as the...
