The Effect of Enamel Surface Reduction in vitro on the Bonding of Composite Resin to Permanent Human EnamelDepartment of Pediatric Dentistry, University of Texas Dental School, San Antonio, Texas 78284
Department of Pediatric Dentistry
Program in Biomaterials, University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455 The shear bond strength between composite resin and human permanent tooth enamel was measured on unabraded tooth surfaces and after mechanical reduction of 0.1 mm and 0.6 mm of the enamel surface. There was a higher bond strength following the reduction of 0.1 mm of the surface (p < 0.05) and 0.6 mm of the surface (p < 0.01). Mechanical surface reduction was associated with increased residual composite at the bond site after debonding.
