Evaluation Of the BEAUTIBOND XTREME Adhesive in Class I and II Restorations: One-Year Results.

the enamel was etched for 30 seconds and the dentin for 15 seconds using 35% phosphoric acid gel (Ultradent). The acid was then rinsed off, and excess moisture was removed with an air spray. To protect the dentin during air blasting, an absorbent paper was held over it using clinical tweezers, ensuring a whitish appearance for the enamel and slightly moist dentin. Excess water on the cotton roll was dried as well. The BeautiBond Xtreme adhesive system was applied without any waiting time, followed by a gentle air spray for 3 seconds and then a strong air blast to ensure solvent evaporation. Finally, the adhesive was light-cured for 5 seconds using a LED photopolymerizer (Gran Valo LED Curing Light, Ultradent).

no acid etching was performed on either the enamel or dentin. The BeautiBond Xtreme adhesive system was applied immediately, without any waiting time, followed by a gentle air spray for 3 seconds and then a strong air blast to ensure solvent evaporation. The adhesive was then light-cured for 5 seconds using a LED photopolymerizer (Gran Valo LED Curing Light, Ultradent).
