1) 400-500 nm.
2) 500-600 nm.
3) 800-900 nm.
4) 1000-1100 nm.

What is the role of a primer in the bonding process of resin cements?
1) To clean the tooth surface
2) To increase the surface energy of the tooth structure
3) To reduce the surface tension of the bonding agent
4) To accelerate the setting of the cement

📝 Explanation:

A primer increases the surface energy of the tooth structure, enhancing the ability of the bonding agent to wet and infiltrate the surface.
