Abstract:OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of bonding agents under fissure sealants on bond strength and microleakage. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A total of 210 freshly extracted noncarious human third molar teeth were used (105 teeth for shear bond strength and 105 teeth for microleakage assessment). The teeth were randomly assigned to 14 groups, with 15 teeth in each group. Fissurit FX was applied to the etched enamel in the control groups. In the experimental groups, the self-etch adhesives: Clea… Show more
