Table 3.

Microtensile bond strength values (MPa) to dentin when resin adhesives were applied with the ethanol wet-bonding in EDTA or H₃PO₄ treated dentin.

Dentin conditioning	EDTA	H₃PO₄
Resin 1	0 (0)^c (40/0) [100/0/0]	14.1 (13.3)^d (18/22) [85/0/15]
Resin 2	36.5 (14.4)^b (0/40) [11/19/70]	30.9 (12.7)^c (0/40) [14/25/61]
Resin 3	41.8 (10.2)^b (0/40) [0/62/38]	49.2 (12.6)^b (0/40) [0/75/25]
Resin 4	48.2 (8.3)^a (0/40) [0/80/20]	51.7 (7.8)^a (0/40) [0/63/33]
Resin 5	42.4 (8.3)^a,b (0/40) [11/29/60]	17.6 (14.3)^d (11/29) [30/0/70]
Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (primer + adhesive)	41.1 (10.0)^b (0/40) [10/68/22]	59.8 (9.9)^a (0/40) [0/71/29]
Primer made from 50% ethanol-solvated SBMP adhesive + neat adhesive	40.1 (12.5)^b (0/40) [21/27/52]	43.5 (14.3)^b (0/40) [8/50/42]

Values are mean (SD) in MPa. In columns, same superscripts letters indicate no differences (p > 0.05). Premature failures were included in the statistical analysis as zero values and are indicated in parentheses (for instance 18/22 means that there were 18 premature failures and 22 testable beams). The modes of failure are expressed in percentage in the brackets [adhesive/mix/cohesive].
