Use of (meth)acrylamides as alternative monomers in dental adhesive systems.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Methacrylamides are proposed as components for dental adhesive systems with enhanced resistance to hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation. The specific objective of this study was to evaluate the polymerization kinetics, water sorption and solubility, pH-derived degradation and microtensile bond strength of various monofunctional acrylamides and meth(acrylamides) when copolymerized with dimethacrylates. METHODS:Base monomers were added at 60 wt%, and included either BisGMA or UDMA. Monofunctional monomers were added at 40 wt%, including one (meth)acrylate as the control, two secondary methacrylamides and two tertiary acrylamides. DMPA (0.2 wt%) and DPI-PF6 (0.4 wt%)/BHT (0.1 wt%) were added as initiators/inhibitor. Polymerization kinetics wwere followed with near-IR spectroscopy i
