This in vitro study investigated the effect of use of three dentine bonding agents: Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus(R) (3M Dental Products, St. Paul, Minnesota,. U.S.A.), Syntac(R).(Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein), Optibond Dual Cure(R) (Kerr, Romulus, MI, U.S.A.) on microleakage and shear bond strength of a fissure sealant (Helioseal F(R), Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) bonded to either dry or wet (saliva contaminated) enamels of primary teeth. Newly extracted 112 non-carious-primary teeth were sectioned and embedded in resin blocks. Eight groups were formed for:each test. Each group consisted of 14 specimens. Group 1 and 2: fissure sealant was. applied directly to etched enamel in dry and wet condition, respectively; Group 3 and 4: fissure sealant was applied onto etched and Scotchbond: Multi-Purpose Plus(R) treated enamel in dry and wet condition, respectively; Group 5 and 6: fissure sealant was applied onto etched and Syntac(R) treated enamel in dry and wet condition, respectively; Group 7 and 8: fissure sealant was applied onto etched, and Optibond Dual Cure(R) treated enamel in dry and wet condition, respectively. The results revealed that the use of an enamel-dentine bonding agent under fissure sealant increased the bond strength and decreased the microleakage. The use of enamel-dentine bonding agents under sealant in moisture contaminated conditions gave better results than applying sealant alone onto noncontaminated. teeth. Finally, Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus(R) yielded the best results for both tests.
