OBJECTIVE: Several recent studies have reported collagen hydrolysis within bonds over the long-term. This may be one reason for the degradation of the bonds. This study therefore aimed to determine the effects of NaOCl on adhesive system bonds (total-etch bonding system vs. self-etching primer system) to dentin in order to accelerate the durability testing. METHODS: Resin-dentin bonded specimens were produced using Liner Bond 2V (Kuraray), a self-etching primer system, and OptiBond SOLO (Kerr), a total-etch bonding system, according to the manufacturers' instructions. The bonded specimens were serially sectioned in both x and y directions across the adhesive interface to obtain beams (adhesive area: 0.9 mm(2)). The specimens were immersed in 10% NaOCl solution for 1-5h after being stored in water at 37 degrees C for 24h. Control specimens were tested without exposure to NaOCl. After storage, micro-tensile bond tests were performed. Results were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Fisher's PLSD tests (p<0.05). All fractured surfaces were observed by SEM, and examined using an image analyzer. RESULTS: The bond strengths decreased with increasing storage time in NaOCl. Fractography showed that NaOCl had a greater effect on the bond structure of OptiBond SOLO than on that of Liner Bond 2V, although both adhesives were susceptible. SIGNIFICANCE: Deterioration of the bonds was responsible for the effect of NaOCl on the hybrid layer. This deterioration may occur in humans in cases of deproteinization within the bonds.
