Popis: Purpose: The goal of this in vitro study was to identify whether occlusal enamel deproteinization is effective in the removal of organic material in order to obtain quality etching patterns using phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) compared to phosphoric acid alone. Study design: Nine extracted third permanent molars were polished with pumice and water. Every pit and fissure was evaluated as a unit, resulting in 40 individual units and then these were divided into five treatment groups. The occlusal enamel surface of each group was subjected to the following treatments: Group 1 (C) Control: No treatment; Group 2 (P): Polish and rinse; Group 3 (PD): Polish, rinse, and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) 5.25% for 60 seconds; Group 4 (PA): Polish, rinse, and acid etching with H3PO4 37% for 15 seconds; and Group 5 (PDA): Polish, rinse, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) 5.25% for 60 seconds, and acid etching with H3PO4 37% for 15 seconds. Results showed no significant statistical difference in the organic material present between groups 1 (C) (30.18%) and 2 (P) (36.61%), but there was a statistical difference (p
