Effect of an acidic sodium salt on the polymerization behavior of self-adhesive resin cements formulated with different adhesive monomers

The addition of BAS increased the degree of conversion of SARCs in the first minutes and 24 h after the polymerization reaction. This finding showed the importance of adding this type of salt during resin cement production to achieve better polymerization in the first minutes of the luting procedure specially when light exposure is not possible.
