The fractured surfaces of the self-etched sample show good impregnation into the superficial
dentine. the failures observed at the interface are located between the hybrid layer and the
bonding layer.
as a result, even though the SBS of G-ænial Bond to dentin was not affected by etching, the
observations of failure modes show that a better quality of infiltration of the collagen network
and the superficial dentine is obtained using the self-etch technique. Therefore, the self-etch
approach without the use of etching on dentine is preferred with G-ænial Bond.
