Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Carisolv® on resin composite adhesion on caries-affected dentin. Methods: Carious lesion specimens (n=46) were prepared from 45 extracted primary molars: Group 1 (n=23)-chemomechanical (Carisolv®) treatment; Group 2 (n=23)-rotary instrumentation; and Group 3 (n=23)-caries-free specimens from 20 noncarious primary molars. After caries removal (Groups 1 and 2) or washing and drying (Group 3), a resin composite rod (2-mm high, 0.975-mm diameter) was bonded vertically to dentin. Specimens were stressed at constant displacement (1.0 mm/minute) to failure; treated surfaces were examined under a scanning electron microscope. Result..
