- Abstract
The tensile bond strengths of composite resins to transverse and longitudinal sections of enamel prisms etched with phosphoric acid were examined. The tensile bond strengths were 18-19 MPa to the transverse and 10-11 MPa to the longitudinal sections and thus were influenced by the nature of the enamel crystal planes. These facts suggest that composite resin restorations will have a longer life span if the enamel walls are given marginal forms to produce transverse rather than longitudinal sections of enamel prisms.
