Dentin bonding systems used in this study
Adhesive systems tested in the study and application protocol
Microtensile bond strength (MTBS) (MPa) (mean ± SD)
*: There was significant difference among groups by Scheffe's test (p < 0.05).
Failure mode
Type A : adhesive failure between bonding resin and dentin
Type B : mixed failure (above 50% adhesive failure)
Type C : mixed failure (below 50% adhesive failure)
Type D : cohesive failure in resin
Type E : cohesive failure in dentin
