Introduction: Dental caries brings about the destruction of teeth.1 The conventional method for caries removal which utilizes high-speed handpiece is quick but there may be undesirable removal of the tooth.2 The main aim should be to conserve tooth structure. Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength of self etch and total-etch adhesive system to caries affected dentinal surface after chemomechanical caries removal. Materials and Method: Forty extracted non-restored human maxillary and mandibular molars having carious lesion on occlusal surfaces were selected. They have divided into two main groups i.e. group I: Caries removal by conventional method and group II: Caries removal by chemomechanical method (using Carie Care) which was further subdivided into two subgroups of 10 teeth each according to the type of adhesive used: Subgroup IA: Restored using the total-etch technique, Subgroup IB: Restored us ing self etch technique, Subgroup IIA: Restored using the total-etch technique, Subgroup IIB: Restored using self etch technique. A standardised cylindrical mould was used to prepare composite cylinders on the occlusal surface of each specimen. Shear bond strength testing was conducted in a universal testing machine at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min until failure. The values thus obtained were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis. Result: Chemomechanical group showed slightly higher shear bond strength values than the conventional group in both totals etch and self etch subgroups, the difference between them was not statistically significant. Also, total-etch adhesive showed better bond strength than self etch adhesives. Conclusion: No significant difference was found between bond strength of chemomechanical and conventional caries removal.
