Bond Strength of a Self-Adhesive Universal Resin Cement to Enamel and Dentin with or without an Adhesive Bonding Agent

While the versatility of the novel universal resin cement (Panavia SA Cement Universal) allows for both adhesive and self-adhesive applications, our findings indicate that the adhesive resin cement (NX3 Nexus), when used with a bonding agent, consistently delivered the highest shear bond strength to dentin. However, its bond strength to enamel was comparable across the tested materials. <b>Key words:</b>Universal Resin Cement, Bonding Agent, Enamel, Dentin.
