The purpose of this study was to investigate the dentin-cement interface for dental luting cements of newly developed Glass Ionomer-Resin cement “Fuji LUTE” etc. using SEM.
For Fuji LUTE, the hybrid layer was observed in the superficial layer of dentin only after treatment with Fuji LUTE conditioner (10% citric acid, 2% ferric chloride).
This hybrid layer was acid-resistant layer similar to resin hybrid layer. With 10% citric acid treatment and no treatment, the hybrid layer was not observed.
For Vitremer Luting Cement, the hybrid layer was not observed.
