title: Transverse resistance of composite resin restorations on dentin.
abstract: The transverse resistance of a dentin-bonded composite resin restoration was tested. Dentin and enamel surfaces of human molars were pre-treated differently. The specimens were stored for various periods. The presence of enamel led to a transverse resistance significantly higher than when only dentin was present. When enamel was present, additional etching of dentin gave a lower resistance. This was possibly caused by the formation of a soluble monite precipitate. Etching of dentin without the presence of enamel gave a value significantly higher than the bond strength to unetched dentin.
