Bond strength of a self-adhesive resin cement to enamel and dentin.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of surface treatments and thermocycling on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of self-adhesive resin cement to human enamel and dentin.  UnicemPA and VR showed better bond strength to dentin during the period before and after thermocycling, respectively.  Only for UnicemPA did the thermocycling significantly decrease the bond strength values.  Within the limits of this study, it could be concluded that the bond strength is influenced by the surface treatments, and that thermocycling decreases the bond strength of all groups, but significantly only for UnicemPA.
