. Summary of the procedures.

GroupProcedure steps

ADentin exposure
Immersion in 15 ml 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride mouthwash for 1 minute
Drying the tooth, scrubbing the primer on the dentin surface for 15 seconds and removing the solvent, placing the bond on the dentin surface and thinning and curing it for 20 seconds, placing the resin composite cylinder on the dentin, and curing it for 20 seconds from the mesial and distal side, respectively
BDentin exposure
Immersion in 15 ml 1% povidone-iodine mouthwash for 30 seconds
CDentin exposure
Immersion in 15 ml 1% hydrogen peroxide mouthwash for 1 minute
Removing the buccal surface enamel, drying the tooth, etching the enamel surface with phosphoric acid for 20 seconds, rinsing with water for 20 seconds, rinsing with water and air mixture for 20 seconds, drying with air for 20 seconds, scrubbing the bond on the enamel surface, thinning and curing it for 20 seconds, placing the resin composite cylinder on the enamel, and curing it for 20 seconds from the mesial and distal side, respectively
DDentin exposure
Immersion in 15 ml 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash for 1 minute
EDentin exposure
Immersion in 15 ml distilled water for 1 minute
