(A) Rate of polymerization (%.s−1) as a function of degree of conversion (%) for fully formulated adhesive compositions. Control and C14 MAM showed similar maximum rate of polymerization and final degree of conversion (2.66 and 2.74%.s−1 and 74.7 and 74.1%, respectively). C14 MA showed the highest values of maximum rate of polymerization (3.3%.s−1), which did not translate to higher final degree of conversion (71.8%). In terms of degree of conversion at maximum rate of polymerization, the control group showed the highest values (36.7%). (B) Dentin μTBS results after 24 hours and 6 months for the tested adhesives. There was no significant difference between the groups at 24 hours (p = 0.942) or at 6 months (p = 0.149). Additionally, all groups showed statistical similarity between 24 hours and 6 months (p = 0.467, 0.199 and 0.102, for Control, C14 MA and C14 MAM, respectively).
