Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the enamel shear bond strength of four sealants in vitro. Materials and methods Sixty caries-free human premolars were randomly divided into four groups of 15. The materials used were a local-made sealant (LM), Super-Bond C&B (SB), Delton® (D) and Concise™(C). Each material was prepared according to the instruction of the manufacturer. The sealant was placed in a mold, cured, stored in distilled water for 24 hr and shear bond strength determined by the Instron Universal Testing Machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Results The results in MPa were: LM, …
