Different surface modified ultrafine-diamond (UFD) was added into dental adhesives as filler ,then the influence of dental adhesive properties was observed. The main matrix of dental adhesive was high polymer resin. Different content of non-modified UFD(n-UFD) or modified UFD(m-UFD) were added into dental adhesives, then the viscosity of materials were measured. The data was processed with SPSS17.0 software package. The viscosity of dental adhesives was decreased when the proportion of UFD was less than 0.1wt%, especially when it was 0.1wt%; but was significantly improved when the proportion was more than 0.1wt%. The effect of UFD and surface-modified UFD on the viscosity was significantly different. The results show that silane coupling was chemically-grafted on the surface of UFD, the dispersion and stability of UFD in ethanol was improved; And a quantity of UFD with special content could reduce the viscosity of dental adhesives and improve the flowability obviously. The m-UFD was superior to n-UFD.
