Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the dentin bonding ability of multi-mode universal adhesive systems in relation to different etching modes and etching time periods using micro-shear bond strength analysis. Material and methods: Three multi-mode universal adhesives and one etch-and-rinse adhesive were assessed in this study. Micro-shear bond strengths (μSBS) to dentin were obtained in etch-and-rinse (etching 5 s/10 s/15 s) and self-etch modes. For each test condition, 10 specimens were prepared for each group. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to examine representative bonded specimens, treated dentin surfaces, and the resin/dentin interface for each test condition. Results: Multi-mode universal adhesives showed the lowest μSBS results in etch-and-rinse mode for 10-s and 15-s etching (p < 0.05). Universal adhesives and self-etch adhesives showed similar μSBS values in self-etch mode (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Analysis concluded that phosphoric-acid etching for time periods greater than 5 s significantly reduced the efficacy of bonds when using multi-mode universal adhesives.
