GOMES MOREIRA, M.A. Self-etching adhesive systems on enamel: advantages and disadvantages. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2004, vol.20, n.4, pp.193-198. ISSN 2340-3152.

The bond strength to bovine enamel of five self-etching adhesive systems was measured comparing to two total etch adhesive systems and using different application modes (following manufacturers' instructions, with a previous acid etching, duplicating priming time and doubling the number of adhesives' layers). The etching patterns were analized with scanning electron microscopy showing the self-etching adhesives different aggressiveness. All self-etching systems showed reliable bond strength values.

Keywords : Self-etching adhesives; enamel and etching pattern.
