Comparative Study of Experimental Dental Adhesive With and Without Phosphoric Acid Pretreatment

Clinical Evaluation of an Experimental Universal Adhesive Used With and Without Phosphoric Acid Pretreatment in Posterior Composite Resin Restorations

The intent of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of an experimental dental bonding agent for use with dental restorative composites with and without pretreatment of the tooth dentin and enamel using phosphoric acid etching.
