Abstract

Shear bond strengths of Scotchbond/Silux were tested at different dentin depths and positions before and after different pretreatments, i.e. no treatment, sonication, 0.2% EDTA, 6% citric acid and 37% phosphoric acid. Smear layers were created using either sandpaper or low-speed burs. This study showed that there were significant differences in bond strength on different depths of dentin after etching the surface but not if the smear layer was left undisturbed.
