Enhancing adhesive performance with N, N, N’, N’-tetrakis (2-pyridyl methyl) ethylenediamine matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors: A comprehensive study of degree of conversion, microleakage, and micro-tensile bond strength in dental adhesives
The results suggest that including TPEN can effectively enhance micro-tensile bond strength in dental adhesives without compromising DC or exacerbating microleakage. This highlights the potential of MMP inhibitors in improving bond durability in restorative dentistry.
