The micro-shear bond strengths ( [XIII]) were compared with that of a two-step self-etch adhesive, Clearfil SE Bond [SE] . The adhesives were applied on dentin surfaces, according to manufacturers' instructions, for bonding of resin composite to dentin.After 24 hours, a micro-shear bond test was carried out and the data were analyzed by oneway ANOVA and Bonferroni test (p<0.05) . The mean MSBSs in MPa were APL: 22.8, AQP: 37.4, OB2: 34.7, RB: 28.3, XIII: 30.3, and SE: 47.2. Among the single-step adhesives, the MSBS of AQP and OB2 were significantly higher than APL (p < 0.05) . In conclusion, the single-step adhesives used in this study, apart from AQP, produced significantly lower MSBS than the two-step adhesive (p < 0.05) .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
