G-ænial Bond Technical Manual
7.3 Bonding performance on enamel
G-ænial Bond has been designed for use in the selective and self-etch techniques. to confirm the
bonding performance of G-ænial Bond on enamel, the following tests were performed.
7.3.1 Shear bond strength to enamel using the self-etch technique
Tests performed by GC R&D, Japan
the following test compared the performance of G-ænial Bond to other 1-step self-etch, 2-step
self-etch and 3-step etch-and-rinse adhesives, including Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray) and Optibond
FL (Kerr). These last 2 products are often quoted as gold standards in the literature.
Test set-up, Ultradent Method: Bovine enamel samples were polished with 320-grit Sic paper. each adhesive tested was used
according to the respective manufacturer’s instructions. Clearfil AP-X (Kuraray) was placed on the surface using an Ultradent
mould (D=2.38 mm) and light-cured. The specimens (n=5) were stored in 37°C water for 24 hours. Shear bond strength (SBS)
was measured at a cross-head speed of 1 mm/min. the statistical analysis was conducted using the tukey test (P<0.05).

Within the limitations of this test, G-ænial Bond demonstrates higher shear bond strength to
enamel than all of the 1-step self-etch adhesives tested. G-ænial Bond demonstrated better or
equal performance compared to the 2-step self-etch and etch-and-rinse adhesives, with the
exception of XP Bond which had significantly higher results.
G-ænial Bond demonstrated very good bonding performance to enamel using the self-etch
technique.
