Figure 4

The photomicrographs obtained from polarized light microscopy show representative lesions of each group after 42 days of in vitro pH cycling: (a) control group without resin, (b) Transbond XT, (c) Quick Cure, (d) Aegis Ortho. Aegis Ortho had reduction of 20.3% as compared to the no adhesive control enamel group, whereas Transbond XT had an increase in lesion depth area of 3.2% versus the control group.
