Objective:
To compare the shear strength of the self-etching techniques and the all-etching techniques for enamel adhesion and to provide evidence for the selection of different bonding methods in clinical practice.
Methods:
Ten middle incisors recently extracted were collected, each was cut into two parts following its sagittal axis, thus divide each tooth into two groups. For group 1 Single Bond 2 was used to bond Filtek Z250 resin to the teeth. For group 2, SE Bond was used to bond Filtek Z250 resin to the teeth. After that, according to the principle of pressing from the incisal margin to the cervix, the shear strength of each bonding unit was tested and statistically analyzed.
Results:
The shear strength of Single Bond 2 was significantly higher than that of SE Bond(P<0.01).
Conclusion:
All-etching bonding system can provide higher shear strength for enamel bonding than that of self-etching bonding system. It is suggested that all-etching technique should be selected for dental restoration with resin.

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