Abstract

Recently, the study of resin materials adhesion has received attention in the area of dental research. New studies have been conducted to evaluate the association of inhibitors of metalloproteinases and their influence on the retention of resin to dentin, observing a higher shear strength in the presence of these substances, such as chlorhexidine, wide use in dentistry. The objective of this study is to evaluate quantitatively through microtensile test the effect of some inhibitors of metalloproteinase in the retention of resin to dentin of permanent teeth. In addition, there will be a qualitative analysis of the adhesive interface by scanning electron microscopy.
