ExciTE F DSC (EXC)V49576HEMA, dimethacrylate, phosphonic acid acrylate, highly dispersed silicone dioxide, initiators, stabilizers, and potassium fluoride in an alcohol solution.Total Etch (37 wt.% phosphoric acid gel)ExciTE F DSC was applied with light brushing motion for 15 seconds and then air dried for 5 seconds and dispersed to a thin layer with a weak stream of air.Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan/Liechte nstein
ENA Bond (ENA)2019010066Modified acrylate acid, polyacrylate acid, methacrylate, ethyl alcohol, catalysts, and stabilizers.Ena Etch (37 wt.% phosphoric acid gel)EnaBond was applied on the dentin surface, following the wet technique, with a microbrush, gently rubbed for 20–30 s, then distributed with an air spray for at least 15 s at a distance of 10 cm to form a slightly shiny adhesive film.Micerium, Avegno, Genova, Italy
Scotchbond Universal (UNI)645096410-MDP, HEMA, silane, dimethacrylate resins, Vitrebond copolymer, filler, ethanol, water, and initiatorsScotchbond Universal Etchant (32 wt. % phosphoric acid gel)Scotchbond Universal was applied, following the wet technique, to the prepared dentin surface and scrubbed in for 20 seconds, and then gently air dried for approximately 5 seconds to evaporate the solvent.3M Oral Care, Seefeld, Germany
