Photochemical crosslinking of caries-affected dentin combined with total- or self-etch systems.

CONCLUSION: Our results, for the first time, are suggesting that etching with phosphoric acid potentialized the benefits of R+UVA crosslinking on carious dentin. R+UVA dentinal collagen crosslinking improves bond strength for caries-affected dentin when using a total-etch adhesive, but did not affect it when using a self-etch adhesive. PMID: 30323885 [PubMed]
