It is presumed that the etching pattern is controlled by the residual organic content of dental enamel. Pretreatment with 1.ON NaOH should remove the organic material and modify the etching pattern. SEM studies and other tests for physical and chemical properties show that the predicted modification of the etching pattern, when the tooth surface is pretreated with NaOH solution, occurs apparently without other changes of properties.
