Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the bonding effectiveness of four self-etching primer adhesives after various tooth preparation protocols. Enamel/dentin specimens were prepared from 84 permanent molars, divided into three enamel preparation groups (silicon carbide paper [SiC]; erbium, chromium:yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet [Er,Cr:YSGG] laser [EL] and diamond bur [DB]) and five dentin preparation groups (SiC, EL, DB, steel [SB], and ceramic burs [CBs]). In each group, specimens were equally divided into four subgroups and were bonded using Clearfil SE Bond (CSE, Kuraray), Xeno IV (XE, Dentsply), Tokuyama Bond Force (TK, Tokuyama) and Filtek Silorane System Adhesive (FS, 3M ESPE), ..
