Effect of air-drying and solvent evaporation on the strength of HEMA-rich versus HEMA-free one-step adhesives Ikeda T et al. - The ED increased with extension of air-drying time. Among the adhesives tested, iBond showed the largest ED, followed by G-Bond and Clearfil S3 Bond in this order. A longer air-drying time for 10-s resulted in a statistically significantly higher micro TS for the HEMA-rich Clearfil S3 Bond. The micro TS of the latter was higher than that of the other two HEMA-free adhesives for each air-drying time. [more...]
