Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of air abrasion (sandblasting), hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching, and acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) for composite repair. Five different composites (three hybrids, one small-particle, and one microfill) were used to test the effects of different compositions and particle sizes. A phosphonate resin bonding agent was used for all repair procedures. In general, air abrasion provided the strongest repairs, approximately 60% of cohesive strength. The effect of HF varied with different composites, either improving or reducing the repair strength. APF gave the lowest interfacial bond strengths for all composites except the microfill.Entities:
