Half of the specimens were subjected to µTBS testing 'immediately' after 1-week water storage, while the other 'aged' half was tested after 50,000 thermocycles. Statistics involved linear mixed modeling (LMM) with restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimation (α = 0.05).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Overall, the two-step SE adhesive CSE2 outperformed the one-step SE adhesive CUBQ. Saliva-contaminated dentin was most effectively decontaminated when CSE2p was applied with both adhesives, closely followed by KC decontamination. Notably, CSE2 demonstrated satisfactory performance even without separate decontamination.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Unaltered bonding to saliva-contaminated dentin was achieved upon surface decontamination with CSE2p and KC. Using CUBQ, additional decontamination with either CSE2p or KC is strongly recommended. In the case of CSE2, no additional decontamination agent is required.</p>","PeriodicalId":94234,"journal":{"name":"The journal of adhesive dentistry","volume":"27 ","pages":"65-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12020427/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144015689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
