Summary
This study evaluated the shear bond strengths of dentin/porcelain and enamel/ porcelain specimens bonded with three different dual-cure cements. The specimens were prepared using the heat-pressed ceramic technique. Three different dual-cure cements were used to bond samples to previously prepared bovine enamel and dentin surfaces. The specimens were thermocycled and tested in shear until failure. The shearbond data was subjected to one-way ANOVA, followed by Duncan's multiple range test at a significance level of p < 0.05. The shear bond strengths of Variolink II were significantly higher than those of Rely-X ARC and Panavia F for enamel and dentin (p < 0.05). Bond strenghts in enamel were higher than those of dentin in all materials (p < 0.05).
