Evaluate the effect of air abrasion on the bonding performance of different universal adhesives on dentin.
Conducted laboratory tests on dentin surfaces
Applied various universal adhesives to air-abraded dentin
Measured bond strength and assessed microleakage
Air abrasion significantly increased bond strength of universal adhesives
Microleakage remained unchanged, indicating no adverse effects
Findings support air abrasion's efficacy in dental restorations
Abstract
Pretreating dentin with air abrasion enhances the bond strength of universal adhesives without increasing microleakage, supporting its use in restorative procedures.
