Objective:
To evaluate the microtensile bond strength of one-step self-etching adhesives to dentin in vitro.
Methods:
Three commercially available one-step self-etching bonding systems (group A: Adper Prompt, group B: Clearfil S(3) Bond, group C: Xeno III) were compared with two-step self-etching adhesive (group D: Clearfil SE Bond) in this study. The microtensile bond strength was determined with microtensile tester and the fractured bonding surfaces were observed under stereomicroscope and scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The mean bond strengths were analyzed using one-way ANOVA test (P < 0.05).
Results:
Mean microtensile bond strengths of group C, B, A and D were (34.59 +/- 3.46), (30.46 +/- 3.82), (23.36 +/- 2.55) and (45.06 +/- 5.29) MPa, respectively. Group D showed the highest bond strength (P < 0.01).
Conclusions:
Two-step self-etching adhesive had a higher bond strength than one-step self-etching adhesive systems, although all of them can satisfy the clinical requirements.

Chemical Bonds
Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.

An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons from...
