The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strengths to ground dentin surfaces of four dentinal bonding agents in 193 teeth. Various dentin surfaces treated with four dentin bonding agents were attached with two restorative composite
resins. The effectiveness of the bonding were tested by the monitoring the shear bond strength. The shear bond strengths were measured after 2 hours and 24 hours after surface conditioning with four dentin bonding agents. Effects of EDTA, the
additive
illumination, and sealer treatments without primer on bond strength to dentin surfaces were assessed. In addition the thickness of specimens ranging from 0.65 mm to 1.95 mm and the ratio of catalyst and base paste on the bond strength of chemical
cure
composite resin were estimated. The shear bond strength was determined by testing specimens in the Instron universal testing machine (Model No. 1122) at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min.
@ES Following conclusions were drawn:
@EN 1. The highest mean shear bond strengths of chemical cure composite resin to conditioning with dentin bonding agents aged 2 hours were obtained, and then that was decreased with time followed by EDTA treatment.
2. In light cure composite resin, the shear bond strength was increased following dentin conditioning with bonding agents with time, irradiation time and EDTA treatment except in SB group.
3. The thicker the composite resin specimen was, the less the shear bond strength in chemical cure composite resin was.
4. In light cure composite resin, there was a little change in shear bond strength following dentin conditioning with bonding agents.
5. In chemical cure composite resin, the shear bond strength was the highest in the ratio of 1/1 of catalyst and base part.
6. Without a dentin primer, shear bond strength to dentin conditioned only with UB sealer was the highest among four sealers in light cure composite resin.
