Effect of aging and testing method on bond strength of CAD/CAM fiber-reinforced composite to dentin

Over the years, clinicians have relied upon laboratory evaluations to choose which adhesive systems to use in their daily practice. Although the relationship between bond strength tests and clinical performance of dental adhesives remains questionable [1,2], recent evidence shows that clinical results can, to some extent, be estimated based upon laboratory results [3 –5]. Moreover, mechanical testing of bonded interfaces has provided some valuable information to identify substrate variables [6,7] and to define guidelines for application procedures [8].
