Etching of enamel prior to application of fissure sealants

Abstract
Acid etching has been shown to be necessary to increase the bond strength of the polymeric fissure sealants Epoxylite 9075 and Nuva Seal to enamel. For Nuva Seal or Epoxylite 9075 it would appear that it does not matter which concentration between the concentration levels of 30 and 70% is used.
