There was no significant difference among C-factor groups with the exception of groups of Xeno III and Ceram-X mono (p < 0.05).
There was no significant difference between any of the adhesives and composite resins in groups with C-factor 0.25, 2 and 4.
There was no correlation between the change in C-factor and microtensile bond strength in the Fantasista groups.
Intergroup data designated with different superscript letters (a, b, c) are significantly different (p < 0.05; Tukey test).
Intragroup data designated with same superscript symbol (†) are significantly different (p < 0.05; Tukey test).
Intergroup data designated with different superscript letters (a, b, c) are significantly different (p < 0.05; Tukey test).
Intragroup data designated with same superscript symbol (†) are significantly different (p < 0.05; Tukey test).
Adhesive systems and composites used in this study
Chemical compositions of the adhesive systems
Bonding instructions of the adhesive systems
Four groups of restoration that varied according to each C-value
