TL;DR: The micro-tensile bond strength to dentin significantly improved when the remaining dentin thickness increased and the conditioner was used, and the bonding effectiveness of the glass-ionomer adhesive tested was affected by the area of intertubular dentin available for micro-mechanical retention through hybrid-layer formation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of cleaning an inorganic filler, upon which the filler used in resin materials for industrial or biological use, particularly dental resin restorative materials, can be more firmly bound to a resin matrix as a substrate, is provided.
Abstract: A method of cleaning of an inorganic filler, upon which the inorganic filler used in resin materials for industrial or biological use, particularly dental resin restorative materials, can be more firmly bound to a resin matrix as a substrate, as well as a method of surface processing of the inorganic filler, are provided. The inorganic filler surface is cleaned with an aqueous solution of a peroxo acid and/or a peroxo acid salt, washed with water, and then cleaned with an organic solvent. Further, the cleaned inorganic filler is subjected to a silane coupling processing, thereby the inorganic filler being processed.
