“…Gupta et al 25 applied to dentin Sensodyne Repair and Protect, Teethmate Desensitizer, diode laser and evaluated the effect of bond strength of resin composite to dentin and stated that TMD increased the bonding values, if not statistically significant. Atay et al 16 applied Gluma desensitizer, Nd: YAG laser, and TMD on dentin surface and evaluated the shear bond strength values by cementing self-etch (Clearfil Universal Bond, Kuraray, New York, NY, USA; Multilink N, Ivoclar, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and self-adhesive (Panavia SA) resin cements to dentin. As a result of this study, shear bond strength values were observed in TMD applied specimens, but were not found statistically significant.…”
