Abstract

The shear bond strengths of a dental bonding system used in conjunction with a composite resin bonded to dentin were determined 1 minute after irradiation and after storage in saline at 37 degrees C for 24 hours, 1 week without and with temperature cycling, and 4 weeks without and with temperature cycling. The quantitative microleakage of class V preparations in cementum (dentin) restored with the system was determined by a spectrophotometric dye-recovery method. Excellent shear bond strengths ranging from 13.9 MPa (1 minute) to 19.5 MPa (1 week) were obtained. The shear bond strengths and quantitative microleakage of the multipurpose dental adhesive system compared favorably with the data obtained from other dental bonding systems under similar experimental conditions.
