Investigates the impact of polymerization mode on dentin bond strength, suggesting aging factors are more important than application methods.
Polymerization mode and application strategy did not significantly influence dentin bond strength, whereas thermocycling reduced the durability of the adhesive interface. These findings suggest that aging-related factors may play a more critical role than differences in curing mechanism or application strategy. Clinically, the selection of polymerization mode alone may not be critical for bonding performance.
