Self-etching adhesives: Bond Strength and SEM Evaluation

The present investigation was performed to evaluate the effect of acid pretreatment, bonding condition (wet or dry dentin) and the application technique (single application or double application)on resin/dentin bond strength and the morphology of the resin/dentin interface using two self-etching adhesive systems. The results showed that the type of the adhesive had a significant effect on the resin/dentin shear bond strength, followed by dentin condition.
