Clinical Relevance A self-etching adhesive exhibited significantly lower bond strength to dentin contaminated with 25% aluminum chloride solution compared to normal dentin, but a total-etching adhesive exhibited no difference in bond strength to either contaminated or normal dentin. Longer primer application of the self-etching adhesive significantly increased the dentin bond strength of the contaminated group.
