Aim: To evaluate the effect of an extra bonding layer on immediate and delayed shear bond strength of two different universal adhesives to dentin.

Materials and Methods: Flat coronal dentin surfaces were prepared in 100 extracted human molars. Teeth were randomly divided into four experimental groups (n = 20) according to two different universal adhesives applied with or without an extra bonding layer (EBL) of Scotch Bond Multipurpose adhesive (SBM) and one control group: Group 1: Control (SBM etch and rinse adhesive); Group 2: Prime and bond universal (PBU); Group 3: PBU+ EBL; Group 4: Tetric N bond universal (TNBU); Group 5: TNBU + EBL. After composite restoration, samples were subjected to 24 hrs and 6 months shear bond strength evaluation. Statistical analysis was done using two-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's test (p < 0.05).

Results: PBU depicted comparable immediate bond strength to SBM. TNBU presented significantly lower bond strength than SBM. After 6 months, a significant fall in bond strength was observed for all adhesives without EBL. Mean difference between immediate and delayed bond strength was found to be significant for group 1 (0.007), group 2 (p = 0.001), group 4 (0.002), and group 5 (p = 0.001), while it was non-significant for group 3 (p = 0.076) with EBL.

Conclusion: Application of EBL improved the immediate bond strength as well as significantly preserved the bond strength of PBU over 6 months of storage. EBL application could not prevent the fall in bond strength for TNBU adhesive over 6 months.

Clinical Relevance: Application of EBL over universal adhesive may improve the durability of resin-dentin bond.
