Popis: Purpose To evaluate the effect of different pHs of 40% meta phosphoric acid (MPA) in comparison with a conventional 37% ortho-phosphoric acid under different application times in terms of resin-dentin bond strength (μTBS), nanoleakage (NL) and the dentin-etching pattern. Materials and methods Ninety-six molars were randomly assigned into 12 experimental conditions according to the combination of the independent variables: Acid [37% ortho-phosphoric acid (OPA), 40% meta-phosphoric acid (MPA) in the following pHs – 0.5, 1 and 2] and Application Time [7, 15 and 30 s]. After restorations, specimens were sectioned into resin–dentine beams (0.8 mm2) tested under tension (0.5 mm/min). Selected beams from each tooth were used for NL evaluation. The dentin-etching pattern of the OPA and MPA was examined under a scanning electron microscop. Acid vs application time data were subjected to two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05) Results MPA pH 0.5 showed μTBS means similar to OPA, independently the application time (p>0.05). A statistically higher NL was observed for OPA in comparison with MPA, regardless the application time (p Conclusion The use of 40% meta-phosphoric acid with pH 0.5 is an alternative acid-etching agent with similar immediate bond strength and lower nanoleakage than the traditional 37% ortho-phosphoric acid.
