In vitro comparison of bonding effectiveness of different adhesive strategies.

Abstract

The bond strengths measured in Groups 3-9 were significantly lower than those recorded in Groups 1 and 2. There were no significant differences in bond strengths between Groups 1 and 2 or between Groups 4 through 8. The bond strength measured in Group 9 was significantly lower than those recorded in Groups 4, 5, and 6 but was not significantly different than those recorded in Groups 3, 7, and 8. Failures were mainly adhesive in all groups.
