Specimens were obtained from human molars and randomly allocated to 6 groups (n = 10) according to adhesive type (Clearfil S3 Bond Universal (CBU), Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (CUBQ), and Zipbond Universal (ZBU)) and application strategy (self-etch or etch-and-rinse). Each adhesive was applied according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for the respective strategy, followed by composite resin build-up. Resin\u2013dentin beams were prepared and subjected to three aging conditions: storage in distilled water at 37 \u00b0C for 24 h, 10,000 thermocycles, or pH cycling. Microtensile bond strength was measured, and the degree of conversion was evaluated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Data were evaluated using analysis of variance and Weibull statistics (\u03b1 = 0.05). Both adhesive type and application protocol significantly influenced bond strength (p &lt; 0.05), whereas aging conditions had no significant effect (p &gt; 0.05). At 24 h, ZBU in the etch-and-rinse strategy showed the highest bond strength and significantly outperformed CUBQ. After thermocycling and pH cycling, no significant differences were found among adhesives. All adhesives demonstrated higher reliability when used in the self-etch mode. Weibull analysis indicated that ZBU in the self-etch mode had the lowest probability of failure, with fractures occurring at higher stress levels. CUBQ showed the lowest degree of conversion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym18121516","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]],"date-time":"2026-06-18T07:33:54Z","timestamp":1781768034000},"page":"1516","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Influence of Etching Protocols on the Bonding Stability of Universal Adhesives to Dentin"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Mehtap","family":"Kaba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Restorative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, 53100 Rize, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00fcne\u015f Bulut","family":"Ey\u00fcbo\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Restorative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Karadeniz Technical University, 61080 Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3357-6896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammet","family":"Karadas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Restorative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, 53100 Rize, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"315","DOI":"10.4012\/dmj.27.315","article-title":"A review of chemical-approach and ultramorphological studies on the development of fluoride-releasing dental adhesives comprising new pre-reacted glass ionomer (PRG) fillers","volume":"27","author":"Ikemura","year":"2008","journal-title":"Dent.
