title: A laboratory evaluation of the tensile bond strength of some orthodontic bonding resins to enamel.
abstract: In this in vitro study, the tensile bond strengths of three two-paste and four no-mix orthodontic bonding resins applied to etched enamel were determined. One hundred ninety-six extracted human teeth were used to prepare 14 bonded test specimens for each of the seven resin systems evaluated. The tensile bond strengths were expressed in MN.m-2 and the data were analyzed by a one-way analysis of variance at the 5% level of significance and with a procedure of multiple comparisons with the best resin. The tensile bond strengths were not significantly different (P = 0.5065).
