Abstract
The consumption of soft drinks might lead to pathological tooth wear, which is defined as dental erosion. Though these changes in tooth substrates might lead to changes in bonding efficacy, little is known according to the bonding performance of the adhesives. This laboratory study examined the shear bond strength of single-step self-etch adhesive systems to artificially created eroded dentin and examined the ultra-structural morphology with field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM).
