Clinical RelevancePrior bleaching treatment, with both low and high concentrations of bleaching agents, does not affect the push-out bond strength of dimethacrylate-and silorane-based materials to enamel-dentin cavities. SUMMARYThe aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of tooth bleaching on the push-out bond strength of a composite resin based on dimethacrylates and silorane to cavities that involve both enamel and dentin. A total of 80 bovine incisors were sectioned on the buccal surface to obtain specimens (10 3 10 mm) presenting enamel and dentin (1-mm thick . After treatment, cavities were made (1.2-mm diameter on dentin; 1.5-mm diameter on enamel) with a diamond bur. At 24 hours after restoration, a push-out bond strength test was performed at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The bleaching treatments did not significantly affect the bond strengths of either restorative system to enamel-dentin. Regardless of the bleaching treatment, the dimethacrylate-based resin system exhibited significantly higher bond strengths to enamel-dentin than did the silorane-based system.
