Abstract
In dental restorations, bonding agents, a combined etching, priming and resin bond application to achieve bonding with a one-component resin formula, known as all in one adhesive, are now widely used.
In this study, properties of all in one adhesives were examined to determine whether all in one adhesives can be used instead of pit and fissure sealants. Microtensile bond strengths of all in one adhesives for enamels showed sufficiently good values compared with those of sealants for enamels. These materials also had a fluoride release and uptake function, which is necessary for caries prevention. The cell viability of Xeno CF II Bond and AQ Bond plus were significantly lower than those of other materials tested. The low pH values of the all in one adhesives and consequent cytotoxic effects were thought to be due to release of acidic monomers. The results showed that all in one adhesives can be used instead of pit and fissure sealants.
