Twelve aliphatic methacrylates with a carboxylic group [succinate (2 MES, 5 MPeS and 10 MDS), methylsuccinate (2 MEMS, 5 MPeMS and 10 MDMS), maleate (2 MEM, 5 MPeM and 10 MDM) and citraconate (2 MEC, 5 MPeC and 10 MDC)] were synthesized by the addition of four dicarboxylic acid anhydrides to each of three different alkylene chain length hydroxy methacrylates to investigate the relationship between the methacrylate structure and its bonding to tooth. The bond strength of methacrylates to polished tooth surface decreased with increasing alkylene chain lengths under dry conditions, but water immersion reduced this change. The bond strength of succinate and maleate to polished tooth surface was higher than that of methylsuccinate and citraconate under dry conditions. All methacrylates showed high bond strength to etched enamel, with maleate showing the highest bond strength. On the other hand, the bond strength of 2 MEM and 5 MPeM to etched dentin was markedly high, and about 5 microns thick resin reinforced dentin at the interface between etched dentin and resin (2 MEM or 5 MPeM) was observed by SEM and EPMA analysis.
