Materials and Methods: 60 extracted human third molars which are affected by caries used in this study. Occlusal surfaces removed to obtain flat dentinal surfaces and teeth mounted acrylic. Specimens were divided into four groups of 15 to be tested three different caries detecting dyes. First group is control and others Caries Detector, Quadrant Cari Test, Sable Seek groups. In control group decayed dentine tissues remowed with silicon carbite papers (300 gride) and in others groups caries detectors applied and carious dentine tissues remowed with silicon carbite papers. Than dentin bonding systems Clearfil SE Bond applied and specimens restorated with composite resin. All products were used according to manufacturer's instructions. Bond strengths were tested and data were statistically analyzed one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey tests. Results: As results of this study, Quadrant Cari Test group showed lower bond strength than other detecting dyes groups. While bond strengths of Caries Detector and Sable Seek groups were similar, their bond strengths were significantly higher than Quadrant Cari Test group (p<0,05). Conclusions: According to the results of this in vitro study caries detecting dyes may lead to increased shear bond strength values obtained.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBonding systemsCaries affected dentinCaries detecting dyeShear bond strengthArticle17213514210.7126/cdj.58140.10080022372-s2.0-84900419283Q4
