Background: There are different etching gels available, which have different composition, different pH, and different viscosity, and there is little information in the literature comparing all these products.
Objective: To evaluate the mean microshear bond strength and morphological characteristics of tooth enamel by evaluating different phosphoric acids combined with a universal adhesive system.
Materials And Methods: Eighty-four enamel samples were used, which were divided according to the acid conditioning: G1: Scotchbond Etchant (3M Oral Care), G2: Ultra-Etch (Ultradent), G3: Eco-Etch (IvoclarVivadent), G4: ETCH-37 with BAC (Bisco), G5: Etching gel (Densell), G6: Condac 37 (FGM), and G7: Scotchbond Universal Adhesive (3M Oral Care) in self-etch mode.
