title: Dentinal bonding after chemomechanical caries removal--effect of surface topography.
abstract: A study was carried out to determine whether or not the topography of the dentinal surface that is left after caries removal affects bond strength. The caries was removed either by a rotating instrument and a bur or by the chemomechanical method using D,L,2-aminobutyric acid. The bond strength appeared to be enhanced on those specimens treated by the chemomechanical removal since the surface was characterized by lack of a smeared layer and by open dentinal tubules and numerous undercuts.
