Notes:
Fractured incisors were restored by reattaching the fragment to the remaining tooth structure. For this purpose, seven dentin adhesive systems were used with and without an unfilled resin (Heliobond®) and the strength of the restored teeth was tested at a cross-head speed of either 1 or 500 mm/min. The hypothesis was that the strength of the reattachment would be higher when an unfilled resin was used. The dentin adhesive systems were Prime & Bond NT® (PB), Exite® (EX), One-Step® (OS), PQ1® (PQ), SingleBond® (SB), Optibond Solo Plus® (OS), and an experimental adhesive (GL). Statistical analysis revealed that with all adhesives except EX, a significantly greater mean fracture strength was achieved when the adhesives were used with the resin (Heliobond). Furthermore, with all adhesives except PB, there was a significantly lower mean fracture strength when tested at 500 mm/min than at 1 mm/min. All the tested adhesives except EX should be used with an unfilled resin when restoring fractured teeth by reattachment.
