OBJECTIVE: To determine if acid-etched, cross-linked dentin can be dehydrated without lowering bond strength below that of cross-linked wet-bonded dentin in vitro. METHODS: Using extracted human third molars, control acid-etched dentin was bonded with Single Bond Plus, using either the wet- or dry-bonding technique. Experimental acid-etched dentin was treated with 5mass% grape seed extract (GSE) in different solvents for 1min before undergoing wet vs dry resin-dentin bonding with Single Bond Plus...
