Impact of saliva and primers on microtensile bond strength of resin cement and adhesives on dentin

this master thesis investigates the impact of saliva and primers on the microtensile bond strength of self-adhesive resin cement and universal adhesive on dentine. The study started from literature review that provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of dental materials, emphasizing the shift from traditional metal alloys to contemporary resin-based solutions. It discusses the significance of adhesion techniques in restorative dentistry and highlights the recent advancements in improving the properties of self-adhesive resin cements and universal adhesives. The microtensile bond strength test showed the different behaviours of biomaterials applied on dentine in an enviroment with and without saliva contamination.
