Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how different rotary instruments affect the surface roughness of human dentin and its impact on the bond strength of self-etch adhesives.
- Surface preparation resulted in significant differences in both the dentin's roughness and the micro-tensile bond strength, with cross-cut carbide burs producing the roughest surfaces and tungsten carbide finishing burs yielding the smoothest.
- High bond strength values were consistently observed for the etch-and-rinse adhesive (OptiBond FL), while self-etch adhesives showed similar bond strength across different rotary instruments.
