Effect of self-curing activators and curing protocols on adhesive properties of universal adhesives bonded to dual-cured composites

Several materials have been used to restore the ideal anatomy of severely damaged, fractured or extensively carious teeth, especially those with compromised resistance and retention form, prior to their preparation for indirect restorations. Resin-based core buildup materials are often used for this purpose in clinical dental practice [1 –3]. Different materials such as amalgam, glass-ionomer cements, resin cements, flowable composite materials and regular viscosity composite materials, have been studied and suggested as core buildup materials in the literature.
