/ BRIEF RESUME OF INTENDED WORK
6.1 Need for the study:
Adhesive procedures have become an integral part of modern restorative dentistry. The durability of the adhesive bond between resin and tooth is of significant importance for the longevity of adhesive restorations.1 There has been a dramatic progression in the adhesion of dental adhesives and resins to enamel and dentin in last 40 years since Buonocore introduced the technique of etching with phosphoric acid to improve adhesion to enamel.2 Over the years as the demand for esthetic restorations have increased, technique simplification has become the goal of researchers and manufacturers of different adhesive system leading to different generations in dental adhesive.3 Total etch comprises of fourth and fifth generations; it uses phosphoric acid etching step, to modify both enamel and dentin surfaces which allows the penetration of adhesives into tooth surface and achieves a micromechanical bond. Self etch comprises of sixth and seventh generations. These compounds bear carboxylic or phosphoric acid groups and achieves the creation of a micromechanical retention pattern by etching the tooth structure and chemical bonding by complex formation with the calcium ions present in the tooth.4
A new bonding agent SINGLE BOND UNIVERSAL (3M ESPE) has been recently introduced into the market. The manufacturers claim it is a single-bottle system for all surfaces, and can be used in total-etch, self-etch or selective-etch mode for both direct and indirect restorations. Hence the objective of this study is to evaluate the shear bond strength between Single bond universalTM with a self-etch bonding system and total etch bonding systems.
RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS (H1):- There is a difference in the shear bond strength of the three dental adhesives under dry and wet bonding conditions.
NULL HYPOTHESIS (Ho):- There is no difference in shear bond strength of the three dental adhesives under dry and wet bonding conditions.
6.2 Review of literature
An in vitro study was done to evaluate shear bond strength of total etch three step and two self etching one step dentin bonding system. On one hundred twenty six recently extracted non carious human molars three dentin bonding agents were used: - scotch bond multipurpose plus (3M ESPE), a three step conventional adhesive system; prompt L pop (3M ESPE), two one step self etching primer adhesive system. After the preparation of specimen shear bond strength was recorded. Data was statistically analyzed. Prompt L pop 2 showed high bond strength compared to other.4
An in vitro test was done to evaluate shear bond strength of one 4th generation and two 7th generation bonding agents. A total of 108 molars were divided into 12 groups of nine teeth each; 1) scotch bond mp; 2) adper prompt L pop (7th gen) and 3) I bond gluma inside (7th gen), after preparation of the specimen shear bond was determined under universal testing machine. Scotch bond MP performed better. Scotch bond MP and I bond bonded better to dentin.5
An in vitro test was conducted to evaluate shear bond strength of self etch and total etch system at different dentin depths using 4 adhesive systems – 1) adper single bond 2, 2) adper prompt L – pop, 3) Magic bond DE, 4) Self etch bond in regard to buccal and lingual surfaces as well as dentin depth. For all groups wet bonding technique was applied. Specimens were testing under EMIC universal testing machine. Adper single Bond 2 demonstrated highest shear bond strength.6
An in vitro study was done to determine shear bond strength of two different bonding agents with two different desensitizers. Eighty molars were taken which were ground to expose dentin. The teeth were divided into four major groups. Each major group was subdivided into four subgroups of 10 samples each. Group 1A and IIA were treated as dry bonding groups, Groups 1B and IIB were treated as wet bonding groups, Groups 1Cand IIC were rewetted with Gluma desensitizer, and groups ID and IID were rewetted with Vivasens desensitizer. Major group I was treated with Gluma comfort bond and charisma. Major group II was treated with Prime and Bond NT and TPH. The samples were thermo cycled and shear bond strength was evaluated using Instron machine. The specimens rewetted with Gluma desensitizer showed the highest shear bond strength.7
An in vitro study was done to determine shear bond strength and the effects of increasing thermo cycling regimens. Adper single bond (3M ESPE) was used for bonding resin composite to human enamel and dentin. Specimens were stored in water (370C, 24 h) and subjected to thermo cycling (50C AND 550C) in five groups: 1) control (no thermo cycling), 2) 100, 3) 500, 4) 2000, 5) 10,000 thermocycles respectively. Micro shear bond strength was performed at a crosshead speed of 1mm/min. Artificial aging decreased dentin bond strength in groups 4 and 5 compared to control.8
6.3 Objective of the Study
To compare and evaluate the shear bond strength of Total etch (Adper single bond II), Self etch (Adper easy bond), and single bond universal adhesives (self and total etch) under dry and wet bonding conditions by using universal testing machine.

METHODOLOGY
·  For the proposed study 60 extracted non carious permanent human mandibular molars fulfilling the absolute inclusion and exclusion criteria will be used as sample for study. The teeth will be randomized using a chit system into four groups of 15 teeth each. Teeth will be cleaned with an ultrasonic scaler. Each tooth will be decoronated using a diamond disc with water coolant until dentin will be exposed. The cut dentin surface will then be abraded against 600-grit wet silicon carbide papers for 60 seconds to produce a uniform smear layer. The remaining apical part of each tooth up to 1mm from cemento enamel junction will be mounted on a plastic ring using acrylic resin and teeth will be divided into four groups with 15 teeth in each group. Following application of adhesive, a Teflon mold will be used to build composite resin cylinder on the dentinal surface of all samples, measuring 2mm in diameter & 3mm in height in a two layer increment technique.3,5,6
·  Each layer is light cured according to manufacturer‘s instruction. After polymerization the specimen will be placed in distilled water for 24 hrs. Then the samples are thermocycled between 50C and 550C for 500 thermocycles.8
·  Group A-Total etch system Single bond II (3M ESPE) (wet bonding)
After decoronation of crown and exposure of dentin. Etchant will be applied on cut tooth surface. After waiting for 15 seconds, it will be rinsed for 10 seconds. After blotting excess water, 2-3 consecutive coats of adhesive will be applied with gentle agitation. It will be air thinned for 5 seconds. Followed by light curing for 10 seconds.
·  Group B- Self etch adhesive two step system Adper EASYBOND (3M ESPE) (wet bonding)
After de coronation of crown and exposure of dentin .The adhesive will be applied to tooth surface for 20 sec. The adhesive will be dried for 5 sec. Followed by light curing for 10 sec.
·  Group C- Self etch adhesive system Single bond universal (3M ESPE)(wet bonding)
The adhesive will be applied to tooth surface for 20 sec. The adhesive will be dried for 5 sec. Followed by light curing for 10 sec.
·  Group D-Total etch system Single bond universal (3M ESPE)(dry bonding)
Etchant will be applied on cut tooth surface. After waiting for 15 seconds it will be rinsed for 10 seconds. After drying excess water, 2-3 consecutive coats of adhesive will be applied with gentle agitation. It will be air thinned for 5 seconds. Followed by light curing for 10 seconds.
The adhesives will be applied to the cut tooth surface. For all groups, the composite will be placed in 2-3 layers. Each increment will be cured using a LED curing unit according to manufacturer’s instruction.
After 24-h storage in distilled water at 37ºC, the samples are thermocycled between 50C and 550C for 500 thermocycles. The shear bond strength will be determined using a knife-edge blade in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min.
EVALUATION OF SHEAR BOND STRENGTH:-
SHEAR BOND STRENGTH = LOAD
