Bond strength of the experiment group in MPa. Bars indicate no significant difference (p < 0.05). Two-way ANOVA indicated that both the use of desensitizers and application mode were significant factors in MSBS and their interaction was significant (p < 0.05). Predicta (PBD) and Teethmate (TMD) significantly reduced bond strength to dentin by 15%–20% on average; however, the effect depended on the adhesives. For Universal Adhesive (PUB), the groups using phosphoric acid etching (PUB-PA) consistently showed higher bond strength compared to the ones using self-etch (PUB). Bonding to PBD and TMD with either PUB-PA and Clearfil SE 2 (CSE) were comparable (p > 0.05).
