Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the quality of bonded resin-dentine interfaces produced by two self-etching primer adhesives after casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) treatment, in comparison to untreated dentine. Methods: Thirty-four adult molar teeth were sectioned to obtain dentine with tubule orientations parallel/oblique or perpendicular to the surface. The specimens were divided into 'smear layer' (1A, 1B) and 'no smear layer' groups, after treatment with 15% EDTA (2A, 2B). The specimens were then left either untreated (1A, 2A) or treated (1B, 2B) with CPP-ACP paste (Tooth Mousse, GC Corp.) for 60 min × 7 days. Each treatment group was divided into three subgroups and s..
