3-Year Clinical Effectiveness of One-step Adhesives in Non-carious Cervical Lesions

Conclusion Both one-step self-etch adhesives presented an equally favorable clinical effectiveness at 3 years. Clinical significance HEMA is a monomer frequently present in dental adhesives in order to increase their wettability and hydrophilicity. However, this monomer negatively influences hydrolytic stability and durability of the adhesive interface complex. In this 3-year clinical trial no significant difference in bonding effectiveness was noticed between a HEMA-rich and HEMA-free one-step adhesive. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)
