Abstract:
The study evaluated the tensile bond strength between human enamel and seven compomer restorative systems under different bonding conditions. Seven compomers were bonded to human tooth structure with and without phosphoric acid etching of the bonding surface, with and without the use of their recommended combined primer and bonding agent and with both moist and wet bond interface environments. Overall, the highest bond strengths to human enamel were attained using phosphoric acid conditioning, primers and moist bonding surfaces.
