Abstract Background/purpose: The most widely utilized irrigation solution in endodontic therapy is sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of NaOCl on the bond strength of four universal adhesives and one two-step self-etch adhesive to pulp chamber dentin.
Materials And Methods: One hundred sixteen extracted sound human third molars were used in this study.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the bond stability and the change in interfacial ultra-structure of a conventional glass-ionomer cement bonded to dentin, with and without pre-treatment using a polyalkenoic acid conditioner.
Methods: The occlusal dentin surfaces of six teeth were ground flat. Glass-ionomer cement was bonded to the surfaces either with or without polyalkenoic acid conditioning.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of remaining dentin thickness (RDT) and long term water storage on dentin bond strength in-vitro. Twenty-seven third molars were randomly divided into 3 groups: Clearfil Bond SE ONE (SE1, Kuraray Noritake Dental, Okayama, Japan), G-Bond plus (GB, GC, Tokyo, Japan) and Clearfil Mega Bond (MB, Kuraray Noritake Dental). Bonded specimens were stored in water at 37ºC for 24 h.

One experimental TDK-03(TD) and, two commercial, DC core Automix One (DC) and Unifil core EM(UN) were used. Flat dentin surfaces of human molars were exposed using #600 SiC paper and bonded with the respective adhesive of each system.

Third molars were randomly allocated among four groups depending on the adhesive system used: Clearfil SE Bond ONE (SE1), G-Bond PLUS (GB), BeautiBond (BB), and Clearfil Mega Bond (MB). Bonded specimens were stored in water at 37°C for 24 h.

One adhesive was an experimental step-less 1-step system (LLB-2, Tokuyama Dental), which is an all-in-one system without the light-curing step in the application process. The other two were self-adhering light-cured flowable composite resin systems FLD (Fusio Liquid Dentin, Pentron Clinical Technologies) and VF (Vertise Flow Dental Restorative Materials, Kerr Corporation), which combine all the bonding steps together.
