title: The effect of elevated temperatures on the dentin adhesion of resin composites.
abstract: Although resin composite restorations may undergo relatively extreme temperature changes in the oral cavity, little is known about the effects of temperature on their adhesion to tooth structure. This study evaluated the effect of temperature on shear bond strength to dentin of three commercial resin dentin adhesives through testing of matured specimens over the 20 degrees to 55 degrees C temperature range. A significant difference (p < 0.05) was observed between 20 degrees C and 55 degrees C for all the materials, and for one of the materials, a significant difference was also observed between 20 degrees C and 37 degrees C.
