Abstract
The early tensile bond strength of dual cured resin luting cements for composite inlays to bovine enamel and dentin was evaluated.The bond strength was high for all materials tested on enamel, but extremely low on dentin.To increase the bond strength to dentin, bonding systems used for direct fillings were tested prior to the application of the resin cement.A considerable increase in the bond strength was found.The bond strength of CR Inlay resin cement was greatly increased when a new bonding system, Liner Bond, was used to"protect"the dentin surface prior to"luting"with the resin cement for the bond test.
