The interface between dentin and an acetone-based single-component adhesive system (Prime&Bond 2.1, DeTrey Dentsply, Germany) was morphologically investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Interaction patterns of human teeth were correlated in vivo and in vitro. The SEM examination proved that the formation of a hybrid and an adhesive layer, the peri- and intratubular adhesive penetration, as well as hiatus and nanoleakage formation were no different on vital and nonvital dentin within the limitation of the experimental arrangement of this study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
