Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the shear bond strength (SBS), etching pattern and depth, and debonding performance of several market-leading, self-etching (SE) adhesives primarily used in restorative dentistry (iBond(TM), Clearfil(TM) S-3 Bond, Clearfil(TM) Protect Bond, AdheSE(R), Xeno(R) III), two experimental self-etching adhesives (exp. Bond 1, exp. Bond 2) and one experimental self-etching cement (SE Zement) used with and without prior phosphoric acid-etching, and to compare them to an orthodontic self-etching product (Transbond T Plus SE Primer) and to traditional acid-etch technique (Transbond(TM) XT Primer, phosphoric acid).Materials and Methods: All adhesives were applied on pumiced and embedded bovine incisors following the manufacturers' instructions. Then one bracket each (coated with Transbond(TM) XT composite) was bonded (n = 20). Transbond(TM) XT was polymerized for 20 s from the incisal and gingival sides using a halogen device positioned at a constant 5 mm from and a 45 degrees angle to the specimen. The specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 h at 37 degrees C before measuring SBS. The ARI (adhesive remnant index) for all specimens was determined from the sheared-off brackets of each. After conditioning, the surface texture was morphologically evaluated from scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, while the etching depth was determined using a confocal laser-scanning microscope (CLSM). All groups were tested for normal distribution and analyzed by applying ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis or the t test. In addition, a Bonferroni correction was used.Results: The median values of the SBS tests were: SE Zement 3.0 MPa, SE Zement preceded by phosphoric acid etching 11.2 MPa, experimental bond 1: 7.4 MPa, experimental bond 2: 5.6 MPa, iBond(TM) 8.1 MPa, Clearfil(TM) S-3 Bond 14.1 MPa, Clearfil(TM) Protect Bond 16.6 MPa, Clearfil(TM) SE Bond 15.9 MPa, AdheSE(R) 16.0 MPa, Xeno(R) III 16.1 MPa, Transbond(TM) SE Primer 20.7 MPa, acidetching+Transbond(TM) XT Primer 21.0 MPa. With the exception of iBond(TM), we observed no significant differences among the self-etching adhesives used in Restorative Dentistry or in comparison to the Transbond T Plus SE Primer. No significant differences were apparent even when compared to the Transbond(TM) XT Primer after phosphoric acid-etching. Both experimental bonding agents and SE Zement without acid etching performed significantly worse than the products mentioned above, failing to demonstrate sufficient adhesive strength. SEM examination revealed less distinctive enamel-etching patterns for self-etching products than for phosphoric acid-etching. CLSM analysis revealed etching depths between 0.5 and 20 mu m depending on the product. When self-etching products were used, less residual composite remained on the enamel surface than after phosphoric acid-etching.Conclusions: All the adhesives tested are suitable for bonding orthodontic brackets and to reduce the risk of enamel fracture while minimizing etching depth, which in turns means less conditioning-related enamel loss. More development is needed to improve the etching performance of both experimental bonding agents and SE Zement.
