Notes:
The present study investigates the influence of the pulpotomy agent formaline cresol (FC) on bond strength between dentin and five adhesive systems (Super-Bond C&B, Bistite II, Imperva Dual Set, Panavia 21, and Panavia 21 with AD Gel). After the dentin surfaces of 75 bovine teeth (including 25 control samples) were exposed by grinding, 25 of the samples were soaked in FC for 2 days, and 25 samples were soaked for 7 days. Samples were bonded to acrylic rods using five adhesive systems, and tensile bond strengths were determined after 1-day immersion in water. Data were analysed by analysis of variance and Duncan's new multiple range test, and the fractured surfaces were observed through a scanning electron microscope. The bond strengths were found to be influenced by the type of system, soaking period, and their combination. The bond strength values of three adhesive systems (Super-Bond C&B, Imperva Dual Set Bistite II, and Panavia 21 with AD Gel) decreased after soaking in FC. After 7 days of FC exposure, the highest bond strength (9·8±2·9 MPa) was obtained with the Super-Bond C&B system.
