The study evaluated the effect of salivary-contaminant removal methods on the bond strength of resin cement to hydrofluoric acid-etched ceramic. Treatment with a new cleaning paste resulted in bond strengths not significantly different from those obtained in phosphoric acid-treated, hydrofluoric acid-treated, and uncontaminated control groups; thus the paste may be considered an alternative to phosphoric acid or hydrofluoric acid for removal of salivary contaminants.
