Physical characterization and bond performance of a non-methacrylate dental adhesive in long-term biochemical and thermal aging models

Key Points

• Bond performance declines in both biochemical and thermal aging scenarios, impacting dental durability.
• Adhesive's physical characteristics reveal significant changes under thermal aging—particularly over 6 months.
• Assessment of long-term durability involved biochemical aging models, focusing on adhesive integrity over time.
• Highlights the necessity for advancements in dental adhesive formulations to enhance longevity and performance.
