    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strengths (MTBSs) of porcelain laminate veneers bonded to normal and fluorosed teeth. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Forty human incisors, including 20 normal and 20 moderately fluorosed teeth [Thylstrup Fejerskov Index (TFI) = 4 to 6], were collected. The labial surfaces of the teeth were ground up to 1 mm and polished with #600 silicon carbide abrasive paper. The surfaces were bonded to 1-mm-thick ceramic slices (5 x 5 mm(2)) previously made (VitaVM7) using one of two ceramic cement systems (RelyX or Clapearl) following the manufacturers' instructions. A resin composite was added on top of the ceramic slices and built up to 5-mm thickness to serve as grips. The specimens were stored in water (37 degrees C) for 24 hours, and beams of adhesive interface with a surface area of approximately 1.25 mm(2) were obtained. Then the beams were subjected to MTBS tests at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min. The data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA. RESULTS: The results of the MTBS test (MPa) were 20.55 +/- 5.83 (RelyX/fluorosed), 20.16 +/- 4.61 (RelyX/normal), 18.74 +/- 2.88 (Clapearl/fluorosed), and 21.06 +/- 4.99 (Clapearl/normal). There were no significant differences in the MTBSs among the four groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The MTBSs of ceramic cement systems used were not influenced by the moderately fluorosed teeth.
