Objectives: 1) Measure 24hr and thermocycled shear bond strength/(SBS) of Scotchbond Universal/3M ESPE to ParadigmC, LAVA core, IPS e.max CAD, gold and base metal alloy 2) Measure 24hr and 10month SBS of an experimental adhesive to unetched and etched ground human dentin and enamel.
Methods: ParadigmC, e.maxCAD, LAVA blocks and non-noble metal alloy were sectioned (t=4mm). Noble metal alloy was received in 2mm thick blocks. Specimens were polished (180-, 320-grit SiC-paper/4mins), finished (0.5µ Al2O3 slurry/2mins) and cleaned (ultrasonic/distilled water/15seconds). Molars were wet-ground (320-grit) to obtain flat enamel and dentin. Following surface treatments (table) and bonding agent application, Z100/3M-ESPE cylinders (d=1.5mm) were bonded and light-cured (Elipar/S10/3M-ESPE/1000mW/cm2). Half were debonded after 24hrs storage/37°C (Instron-1mm/min). Remainder of ceramic and alloy specimens were debonded after thermocycling (10,000cycles/6-60°C/15sec dwell time). Remaining enamel and dentin specimens were stored for 10months after thermocycling then debonded. Data analyzed with ANOVA and Tukey/Kramer post-hoc tests (p=0.05).

Long term storage did not affect enamel and dentin SBS.
SBS decreased after 10,000 thermal cycles for:
e.max: SBP/Silane, SU
Zirconia: SU
Base Metal Alloy: SU
Noble Metal Alloy: SBP, SU
Conclusions: Scotchbond Universal is a promising universal adhesive. Supported in part by 3MESPE
