What are the effects of chloramine-T on the mechanical properties of dental adhesives?
Label:chem
Topic
Chloramine-T is known to release hypochlorite ions, which can potentially affect the polymerization and mechanical properties of dental adhesives.
Answer
A study found that chloramine-T has no significant effect on the hardness or elastic modulus of the tested adhesives. However, it does reduce the bond strength of chemical-cured adhesives by interfering with the interaction between the adhesive resin and dentin, indicating that chloramine-T primarily affects the bonding performance rather than the intrinsic mechanical properties of the adhesives.
