Abstract
<p>The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity and dentin bonding ability of a commercial self-etch adhesive Clearfil SE Protect (Kuraray Noritake Dental, Tokyo, Japan) in combination with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Agar disc diffusion tests and measurement of minimum inhibitory/bactericidal concentrations (MIC/MBC) against Streptococcus mutans were performed to evaluate antibacterial effects. The mixture solution of 5.25% NaOCl and the primer of Clearfil SE Protect demonstrated less antibacterial activity than primer only. In microtensile bond strength tests using non-carious human molars, pretreatment with 5.25% NaOCl aqueous solution had no influence on the bond strength of Clearfil SE Protect. These results indicate that pretreatment with NaOCl does not influence the bonding ability of Clearfil SE Protect, while their combined use does not enhance cavity disinfecting effects.</p>
