Four commercial bond agent-composite systems were tested with respect to the strength of the bond to bovine dentin and their ability to seal class 5 erosion lesions without cavity preparation. At seven days there was no significant difference in the bond strengths of the four bonding agents, Scotchbond, Gluma, Tenure, and Scotchbond 2. Restorations placed with Gluma had significantly less leakage than those placed with other bond agents. At 90 days the bond strength of Tenure was reduced and was significantly less than that of the other systems, while Gluma and Scotchbond 2 restorations exhibited significantly less leakage than Scotchbond and Tenure. There was an inverse correlation (r2 = .5460) between bond strength and marginal leakage of class 5 restorations.
