Effects of 2.5% TiF4 on microtensile bond strength: Influence of application method and degree of dentin mineralization

Microtensile bond strength of a self-etching adhesive system to dentin was not influenced by the application method of TiF4. Dentin pretreatment with TiF4 had no influence on the bond strength of the two-step self-etching adhesive system to sound or demineralized dentin, despite the changes in hybrid layer micromorphology.
