“…Indeed, our study only confirmed what was reported by Marchesi, et al (35), who found that after having kept the samples in water for one-year, low values were obtained when using a universal adhesive system, since the stability of the interface gets lost over time. In the long term, 10-MDP can absorb moisture due to the phosphate radical, which would cause a degradation of the polymer network and consequently, a reduction in the bond strength of the materials (16,36,37). In any case, in our study, despite the fact that the initial values decreased with aging, they are still interesting and good.…”
