| Abstract: | The efficacy of dentin bonding systems composed of a commercial or an experimental dentin cleanser, a dentin primer, and an intermediate resin was examined by measurement of the wall-to-wall polymerization contraction gap. Light-activated composites in a cylindrical dentin cavity were prepared in exposed dentin of the proximal surface of the extracted human premolar. The combination of a dentin cleanser of neutralized 0.5 mol/L EDTA, a dentin primer of 35% hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) or 35% HEMA containing 5% glutaraldehyde and a commercial intermediate resin (Clearfil New Bond, Kuraray Co., Osaka, Japan; Pyrofil Light Bond, Sankin Co., Osaka, Japan) was effective in compensating for the contraction stress of a light-activated composite and for obtaining marginal integrity between the composite and the dentin cavity wall. |
