Observations show that water contamination impacts bond strength in dentin, indicating a need for careful adhesive application.
The adhesive application mode significantly influenced bond strength. Dentin surface condition initially affected the µTBS solely in etch&rinse mode. Only on water-contaminated dentin, the contact angle was influenced by the adhesive application mode.
