Biosolv
showed significant differences between hand and CarisolvTM, and hand vs. SFC-V. Failure
loci distribution in etch-rinse samples was between dentineadhesive, within adhesive and
within composite whereas self-etch samples exhibited failure predominantly between
adhesive and composite.
Conclusions: Data indicated that all null hypotheses were disproved.

Ten readings per tooth both pre- and post-excavation were analysed. CFOME was calibrated against ambient lighting conditions and internal
sound dentine controls (0 reading indicates no fluorescent signal).

In the etch-and-rinse group the mean value of the microtensile bond strengths obtained after four weeks hydrated
storage was 27 MPa (SD 3.9) for hand excavation, 22 MPa (SD
5.1) for CarisolvTM and 26 MPa (SD 4.4) for SFC-V. This data was
analysed using KaplanMeier survival analysis (Fig. 6) with
3.4.
