Laboratory bonding ability of a multi-purpose dentin adhesive.

Abstract

microTBS - OSLm resulted in significantly higher mean microTBS (63.0 MPa) than the other five groups. All SBU groups ranked in the same statistical subset regardless of the dentin treatment. The lowest mean microTBS were obtained with CSE (47.2 MPa) and OSLd (50.2 MPa), which were ranked in the same statistical subset. Ultramorphologic evaluation - The two self-etch adhesives resulted in a similar ultra-morphology. Dried dentin did not preclude the formation of a hybrid layer with SBU-ERd, as opposed to OSLd.
