Abstract
The Colloidal Platinum Nanoparticles (CPN) were recently invented as a functional material. The compositions of CPN are platinum particles which have a diameter of 2 nm, sodium citrate surrounding platinum particles, and water. We found that CPN has the effects to improve the resin/dentin bond strength using 4-META/MMA-TBB significantlly. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles (CGN) instead of CPN on resin/dentin adhesion.
