Does eugenol affect the microtensile bond strength of self-adhering composite ? & #8211; An in vitro study
Conclusion: The presence of eugenol at early stage, i.e. 1 day, has a negative influence on microtensile bond strength of SAC. At 7 days, the negative effect of eugenol on microtensile bond strength gets nullified. Thus, a waiting period of 1 week is sufficient to overcome negative influence of eugenol-based temporaries on polymerization of SAC. (Source: Journal of Conservative Dentistry)
