Özet

Purpose

The immediate and long-term microtensile bond strengths of two current universal adhesives used in self-etch (SE) or etch and rinse (ER) mode to caries-affected dentin compared to sound dentin were investigated.

Material and methods

Dentin groups were identified using the Vickers microhardness test: control group (SD), caries-affected hard dentin (D1) and caries-affected semi-hard dentin (D2). Dentin-adhesive interfaces were examined by electron microscopy (SEM). Statistical analyses were performed using two-way ANOVA, Scheffé and independent t-test (p < 0.05).

Results

It was shown that the bond strength of all adhesive systems to D2 was significantly lower than to SD (p < 0.05) and that D1 exhibited bond strength similar to SD, especially for adhesives applied in SE modes.

Conclusions

According to the results of the study, dentin hardness, adhesive type and the application mode have an effect on the long-term bond strength to dentin.
