title: Effect of moist bonding on composite/enamel bond strength.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of moist bonding on shear bond strength of resin-based composite to enamel using different adhesive systems.
  
  
  METHODS
  Six restorative systems were selected for this study: OptiBond FL/Prodigy, Solid Bond/Charisma F, Syntac Single Component/Tetric, Prime&Bond 2.1/Spectrum TPH, Single Bond/Z100, Etch&Prime 3.0/Degufill Mineral. Flat enamel surfaces were ground on the buccal and lingual aspects of 80 extracted human molars. OptiBond FL and Solid Bond were tested with and without primer application. Prior to application of the adhesives, the enamel was either carefully dried with compressed air (dry bonding) or blot dried with a cotton pellet (moist bonding). Shear bond strength was determined with a universal testing machine after 24-hour storage in 0.9% NaCl at 37 degrees C.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Moist bonding did not significantly affect shear bond strength to enamel of the adhesives tested except for Solid Bond without primer application. Primer contamination of the etched enamel did not significantly influence bond strength, neither in the dry bonding nor in the moist bonding group. Of all adhesives tested in both groups, the highest mean bond strength was observed with Prime&Bond 2.1 and the lowest with Etch&Prime 3.0.
