Effects of EDC crosslinking on the stiffness of dentin hybrid layers evaluated by nanoDMA over time

Application of collagen cross-linkers to demineralized dentin improves bond durability. While the benefits of cross-linking treatments to bond strength and fatigue resistance have been explored, changes in hybrid layer stiffness with aging have not been examined.
