    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of two adhesive systems (Single Bond and Clearfil SE Bond) subjected or not to a thermocycling procedure and applied to cavities prepared either with high-speed diamond bur or Er:YAG laser. BACKGROUND DATA: One of the possible applications of dental lasers includes increasing the quality of bond strength. METHODS: This in vitro study was carried out using a microtensile test on 16 bovine teeth, divided into eight groups. Cavities were prepared on superficial dentin of the medium portion of the buccal surface. After application of adhesive systems, composite restorations were performed at 5-mm height. After 24 h, four groups of teeth were immersed in water, and the other four were thermocycled. Bonded specimens were sectioned into serial 1x1-mm beams, which were subjected to a microtensile test. Final values of bond strength were measured, expressed in MPa, and statistically analyzed. RESULTS: Results were as follows: G1 (26.281 +/- 5.454 MPa); G2 (10.965 +/- 3.714 MPa); G3 (18.549 +/- 6.113 MPa); G4 (14.295 +/- 3.806 MPa); G5 (18.225 +/- 5.701 MPa); G6 (5.588 +/- 2.211 MPa); G7 (18.256 +/- 3.819 MPa); and G8 (15.423 +/- 4.714 MPa). CONCLUSIONS: Self-etching adhesive system (SE) produced more stable bond strength results than the system that indicates total etching (SB). For dentin prepared at high speed, the total etching adhesive system was more indicated, whereas Er:YAG laser-preparation dentin was not influenced by the adhesive system. The thermocycling procedure could negatively affect microtensile bond strength of both adhesive systems, being more deleterious to SB than to SE.
