Figure 1. Schematic presentation of specimen preparation for microtensile bond strength test for bonding to bovine pulp chamber dentin surfaces. (a) two subsequent sections, which were perpendicular to long axis of tooth, were performed using low speed diamond saw under water cooling. The first section was performed at 5 mm above enamel–cement border; the other one was performed at 1 mm under enamel–cement border. (b) The obtained crown segments with 6 mm heights were sectioned into halves using low speed diamond saw. Then, pulp chamber dentin surfaces in order to bond were exposed. (c) Following application of adhesives, composite buildups were done incrementally. (d) Bonded specimens were sectioned serially to obtain resin–dentin sticks to be used for microtensile bond strength test.
