To evaluate the effect of an in vitro challenge (NaOCl immersion) on microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of five adhesive systems to dentin.Flat dentin surfaces from 40 molars were bonded with three total-etch adhesives (Single Bond, Prime&Bond NT and the experimental Prime&Bond XP), and two self-etching agents (Clearfil SE Bond and Etch″ 3.0). Composite build-ups were constructed with Tetric Ceram. Teeth were then sectioned into beams of 1.0 mm2 cross-sectional area. Half of the beams were immersed in 10% NaOCl aqueous solution for 5 h. Each beam was tested in tension in an Instron machine at 0.5 mm/min. Data were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA and multiple comparisons tests (p < 0.05).Clearfil SE Bond and Single Bond attained higher MTBS than the other three adhesives. Prime&Bond NT and Prime&Bond XP performed equally, and Etch″ resulted in the lowest MTBS. After NaOCl immersion, MTBS decreased in all groups. The highest MTBS values were obtained for Clearfil SE Bond and Prime&Bond XP. Scaning electron microscopy observation of debonded sticks evidenced dissolution and microstructural alterations of intertubular dentin, except when Clearfil SE Bond was used.Resin-dentin bonds are prone to chemical degradation. The extent of the resin degradation is adhesive system specific. Chemical degradation of the nonresin infiltrated collagen fibers does also exist in total-etch adhesives. Both processes may reduce long-term resin-dentin bond strength.
