Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the bond strength of solvent-containing and solvent-free bonds to dentin
using the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test.
Materials and Methods: Eight extracted caries-free human molars were used in the study. After the occlusal enamel was removed
using a low-speed diamond saw and precision cutting device under water cooling, the dentin surfaces were sanded with 600 grit SiC
sandpaper under water cooling without adhesive application and the specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups. G1= Bond1-SF
(Pentron) / SE mode, G2= Bond1-SF (Pentron) / EAR mode, G3= Prime Bond (Dentsply) / SE mode) and G4= Prime Bond (Dentsply)
/ EAR mode). After the adhesives were applied to the groups, a 4x4x4 resin-based microhybrid composite was applied to the relevant
surface. Rods with a thickness of 1 mm (± 0.2 mm) were obtained from the specimens using a low-speed diamond saw and precision
cutting device under water cooling (n=10). These bars were subjected to tension at a head speed of 1 mm/min in a universal testing
machine for microtensile bond strength (μTBS) testing and measurements were recorded. The modes of fracture were determined
under a stereomicroscope (Adhesive/Mix/Cohesive). Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post hoc test (p<0.05).
Results: According to the data obtained, G2 (6.24±2.58 MPa) showed the lowest microtensile bond strength value, while G3
(16.11±7.43 MPa) and G4 (16.69±7.6 MPa) showed the highest value, but there was no significant difference between them. The
most common fracture type was adhesive type fractures in all groups.
Conclusions: In line with the findings of the present study, it was shown that the bonding success was better when using a solvent-
containing universal adhesive (Prime Bond-Dentsply) in both SE and EAR mode on the dentin surface, while EAR mode should be
preferred if a solvent-free adhesive (Bond1-SF -Pentron) is to be used.
