Abstract:Aim: This study evaluated the efficacy of self-etching adhesive systems associated or not associated with the neodymiumdoped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser on the protection against enamel erosive/abrasive wear.
Materials and methods:Bovine enamel specimens were demineralized with 0.3% citric acid (5 minutes). The samples were randomly assigned to eight groups (n = 20): SB -Single Bond Universal (3M/ESPE); SB+L -Single Bond Universal + laser (80 mJ/10 Hz); FB -Futurabond U (Voco); FB+L -Futurabond U + … Show more
