Purpose:
To assess, in vitro, the tensile bond strength to dentin of the following adhesive systems: Single Bond (3M), One Coat Bond (Coltène), Clearfil Liner Bond 2 V (Kuraray) and Etch & Prime 3.0 (Degussa).
Materials And Methods:
Thirty third molars, extracted according to therapeutic indication, were used. The roots were removed at the cement-enamel junction level and the crowns were sectioned in a mesial-distal direction, obtaining buccal and lingual halves. The dental portions were included in self-cured acrylic resin, abraded on a lathe under water spray and polished to 400 and 600 grit. The adhesive systems were applied on dentin according to manufacturers' instructions and resin-based composite (Z100) cones were bonded. For each adhesive system, 15 specimens were prepared, stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C during 24 hrs and submitted to tensile bond strength tests on a universal testing machine (EMIC DL-2000) at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min.
Results:
The mean tensile bond strength to dentin (MPa +/- SD) were statistically different (ANOVA, Tukey's tests, P < or = 0.01, shown by asterisks) from each other: (1) Clearfil Liner Bond 2 V* = 24.8 +/- 3.3; (2) One Coat Bond** = 20.4 +/- 2.0; (3) Single Bond** = 18.1 +/- 2.4; (4) Etch & Prime 3.0*** = 5.8 +/- 2.4.
