Introduction: Nanoleakage evaluation by silver uptake in permanent teeth provides good spatial resolution of submicron defects at the hybrid layer, which have not been tested in primary teeth. Objective: This study evaluated the nanoleakage at the dentin-adhesive interface in primary teeth by two methods, for three adhesive systems, immediately (IM) and six months (6M) after adhesive procedures. Material and methods: Crowns of primary molars were occlusal flat grounded and divided into three groups according to the adhesive system tested (n = 6-7). Scotchbond Multi-purpose/SMP, Single Bond/SB and Clearfil SE Bond/CSB adhesive systems were applied with a composite resin (Filtek Z-250). Crowns were sectioned so that 0.8 mm² sticks were obtained and subdivided depending on the time of evaluation: IM or 6M. They were immersed into silver nitrate solution and evaluated by SEM-EDS. Data (%) were analyzed by ANOVA (p < 0.05) and the scores by Kruskal-Wallis and U Mann-Whitney tests (p < 0.05). Results: There was no difference between groups regarding to the evaluation time (aging) percentage. In terms of scores, there was a significant difference for the adhesive variable: SMP and SB showed similar results with less leakage, while CSB demonstrated higher leakage. Conclusion: Nanoleakage was not influenced by aging, but noticeable difference was observed between total-etch and self-etching adhesives. Total-etch showed better performance.
