Which of the statements is true about a dentine primer:

It increases the surface energy (wets) dentine

Dentine primer allows the subsequent resin layer in the adhesive to flow over or “wet” the etched dentine surface. (“wetting” the surface is not the same as having a wet/moist surface. Remembers that the resin in composite is hydrophobic and so a moist surface would not improve the bond.)
The conditioner (phosphoric acid) conditions dentine/removes the smear layer/ etches the dentine.

Q

what is incorrect about IDB

A

Inferior alveolar block injections only anaesthetise molars and second premolars

IAB injections anaesthetic pulps of all teeth on that side. There may be incomplete anaesthesia in central incisors and sometimes there is crossover of nerve supply to these teeth.
The crossover issue also applies to mental nerve blocks, where premolars, canines and lateral incisors will be anaesthetised, but there may be incomplete anaesthesia of centrals.
