Table 3.

Means (standard deviations) of tensile bond strength (MPa) according to the cementing agent and the activation technique.

Cementing agents Photoactivated (DA) Chemically activated (CA)
Duo Link Universal 11.67 ± 2.82 8.49 ± 2.18a p1 = .011*
RelyX Ultimate 10.15 ± 3.20 1.43 ± 0.34b p(1) < .001*
Nexus 3 10.50 ± 2.13 6.86 ± 1.27a p(1) < .001*
Rely ARC 10.56 ± 4.29 7.14 ± 2.64a p(1) = .046*

p = .517 p = .001*.

a,bDifferent letters in the same column indicate statistically significant differences between the cements and by group – DA or CA – (p < .05). *Indicates a significant difference between the activation techniques per cement.
