Micro-shear bond strength of two all-in-one adhesive systems to unground fluorosed enamel.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the micro-shear bond strengths of two all-in-one adhesive systems to unground fluorosed enamel. Buccal surfaces of 24 normal and 24 moderately fluorosed teeth (Thylstrup and Fejerskov index, TFI=4-6) were bonded using G-Bond and Clearfil Tri-S Bond. The surfaces were then restored with a resin composite, stored for 24 hours in water, and tested for micro-shear bond strength (MSBS). Fracture modes, etching patterns, and adhesive interfaces were studied under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA, whereby no significant differences in MSBS were found among the four groups (p>0.05). Through SEM examination, it was shown that 1 microm of resin tag-like extensions had penetrated into the enamel for both adhesives at the enamel-adhesive interface. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that MSBS was not influenced by the severity of fluorosis. Furthermore, there were no differences in enamel bond strength between G-Bond and Clearfil Tri-S Bond.
