Values are mean ± SE, N=10. Groups identified by different superscript letters are significantly different (p<0.05). Smear layer was created using 4000 grit SiC paper. Only 1 layer of adhesive was used with Prompt L-Pop, while multiple layers were used with Adper Prompt L-Pop. Prime & Bond NRC NT is a no rinse conditioner that does not require water rinsing, used with Prime & Bond NT adhesive (from Gregorié et al.⁴³, with permission).
