The bonding efficacy of aqueous solutions of two kinds of erythritol methacrylates as dentin primers was examined by measurement of the polymerization contraction gap of a light-activated resin composite in a cylindrical dentin cavity and the tensile bond strength of the composite to the flat dentin surface. The dentin surface was cleaned with neutralized 0.5 mol/L EDTA and pre-treated with a meso-erythritol or penta-erythritol methacrylate solution, followed by application of a commercial dentin bonding agent (Clearfil New Bond) and a resin composite. Among the tested primers, a 40% meso-erythritol methacrylate solution was shown to be the most effective because, in contrast to the other primers, contraction gap formation by the composite was prevented in all tested specimens.
