    Abstract:
    In this bond strength study, a bleaching agent containing 10% carbamide peroxide was applied over composite-teeth bonded interfaces of two adhesive systems applied to enamel and dentin. Sixteen human third molars were used for bonding procedures. Single Bond (SB) and Clearfil SE Bond (CB) were applied to enamel and dentin according to the manufacturers' instructions. A resin composite cube-like structure was incrementally built on the bonded surfaces. The restored teeth were sectioned into 0.7 mm thick slices that were trimmed at enamel or dentin bonded interfaces to an hourglass shape with a cross-sectional area of approximately 0.5 mm2. Specimens were assigned to 8 groups (n = 10) according to the following factors under study: dental substrate (enamel and dentin); adhesive system (SB and CB) and treatment (10% carbamide peroxide and not bleached/control). The bleaching gel (Opalescence) was applied at the bonded interfaces for 6 hours during 14 days and after daily treatment specimens were stored in artificial saliva. Unbleached specimens were stored in artificial saliva for 14 days. Specimens were tested for tension and the data were analyzed by three-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p < 0.05). Enamel tensile bond strength of CB was reduced after carbamide peroxide application. The bleaching treatment did not alter dentin bond strength of both adhesives. The results suggest that bleaching significantly affects bond strength of CB to enamel, but no influence on bond strength to dentin was noted for both adhesive systems.
