The effect of calcium phosphate-containing desensitizing agent on the microtensile bond strength of multimode adhesive agent

In this study, twelve noncarious, freshly extracted human third molar teeth for MTBS and 20 premolar teeth for the microleakage test were used. The teeth were restored using Clearfil Universal Bond + Clearfil APX and Teeth mate Desensitizer (TMD). For MTBS test, Group 1: Self-etch, Group 2: Etch and rinse (G1 and 2, nondesensitizer treatment served as a control), Group 3: TMD/self-etch, Group 4: Acid-etch/TMD/etch and rinse. For microleakage test, Class V adhesive cavities (3 mm × 2 mm × 2 mm) were prepared and restored as mentioned before. The restored teeth were subjected to thermal cycling. The MTBS test was performed in all procedures. The MTBS data were submitted to a one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test (P
