Abstract
Cyanoacrylate, epoxy, acrylic copolymer, poly(vinyl butyral) and poly(vinyl acetate) dispersion adhesives were used to adhere test samples of Mastodon tooth. The properties of the joins were assessed by scanning electron microscopy of sections, infrared spectroscopy of mixtures and tensile tests of complete joins. Damage to the tooth was assessed as a result of joint preparation and fracture. The least bad of the adhesives examined proved to be the PVAC dispersion and the epoxy, though both resulted in damage to the tooth material.
