Self-etching primer

A self-etching primer is a specialized dental adhesive used to enhance the bond between restorative materials and tooth structures. It combines etching and priming steps into one, containing acidic monomers that simultaneously demineralize and infiltrate the enamel and dentin. This results in a strong, durable bond without the need for a separate etching step, simplifying the bonding procedure and improving clinical efficiency. Ideal for use with composite restorations, self-etching primers help reduce post-operative sensitivity and ensure long-lasting adhesion.
