Popis: A shear test was conducted under simulated oral environmental conditions to examine the retention of a new, commercially available modified unfilled resin in comparison with a conventional unfilled resin provided by the same manufacturer. Within the experimental limits of this study no difference was observed between the retention of the conventional and the modified unfilled resins to enamel specimens. However, for dentin specimens the modified resin was clearly superior to the conventional resin, which gave essentially zero retention. With the recommended procedure, the retention of the modified resin to dentin was 13% of that for the retention of either resin to enamel. It was also observed microscopically that the new resin demonstrated good wetting ability of the dentinal surface. The retention of the two resins to dentin with various surface treatments was determined. The recommended surface preparation procedures of cleaning the dentin surface with hydrogen peroxide followed by a water rinse gave equivalent, if not superior, results to a 1-minute etch with phosphoric acid or citric acid followed by a water rinse.
