The Importance of Adhesive Area Delimitation in a Microshear Bond Strength Experimental Design KU Leuven
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of adhesive area delimitation on the microshear bond strength of different adhesives to dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighteen bovine incisors were sectioned and the exposed dentin surfaces were prepared with 600-grit SiC paper. These teeth were randomly divided into three groups, according to the adhesive to be applied: two-step etch-and-rinse Adper Single Bond 2 (3M ESPE), ...
