Abstract:Root decay is a complex and multifactorial disease. The aim of this study is to assess in vitro the sealing capacity of common aesthetic materials used to restore root caries as well as the size of the hybrid layer formed by SE-1 step vs 2-step ER adhesive techniques.

The teeth were covered wi… Show more
