The shear bond strength was determined by testing specimens in the Instron universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Scanning electron microscopic observations between × 10 and × 5000 magnifications demonstrated that the majority of the fracture patterns were either, in dentin or composite resin with Scotchbond 2 and near the adhesive interface with Tenure, Dentin Adhesit, and Gluma. A Tukey range statistic at P = .05 indicated no statistically significant difference between the bond strengths of Gluma and Dentin Adhesit; the bond strength of Tenure was significantly greater than that of Gluma or Dentin Adhesit, but less than that of Scotchbond 2; and the shear strength of Scotchbond 2 was significantly greater than that of Gluma, Dentin Adhesit, or Tenure.
