Abstract:Aim: this study aimed to evaluate the degree of conversion (DC) exhibited by novel formulations of dental adhesive systems including camphorquinone (CQ), phenyl-propanedione (PPD), and bis-alkyl phosphine oxide (BAPO) when cured by mono- or polywave light emitting diodes (LEDs). Methods: an adhesive model was formulated by mixing hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA, 40 wt%) and bisphenol A glycidyl dimethacrylate (BisGMA, 60 wt%) in ethanol (30 wt%). Five materials were then formulated by adding the following phot… Show more
