Introduction. At present, self-etch adhesive systems are employed on large scale in the offices of dental medicine due to their simple application technique. Their radioopacity is important for the identification of this material in paraclinical examinations. Scope. The study describes a technique of radioopacity analysis on a self-etching type adhesive material. Materials and method. Class V cavities have been made on the teeth extracted from orthodontic causes. The dental adhesive was applied on the surface of the cavities, followed by their obturation with a composite material. The teeth were sliced, radiographed, the resulting digital images being analyzed with a specialized software. R…
