Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of surface treatments such as tooth reduction and extending the etching time on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of composite resin to normal and fluorotic enamel after microabrasion. Materials and Methods: Fifty non-carious anterior teeth were classified into two groups of normal and fluorotic (n=25) using Thylstrup and Fejerskov index (TFI=4-6). Teeth in each group were treated with five modalities as follows and restored with OptiBond FL and Z350 composite resin: 1-Etching (30 seconds), bonding, filling (B); 2-Tooth reduction (0.3mm), etching, bonding, filling (R-B); 3-Microabrasion (120 seconds), etching, bonding, filling (M-B); 4- Microabrasion, tooth reduction, etching, bonding, filling (M-R-B); and 5- Microabrasion, etching (60 seconds), bonding, filling (M-2E-B). Ten experimental groups (n=5) were designed; 150 rectangular samples (10 in each group) with a cross-sectional area of 1×1mm2 were prepared for μTBS test. Failure mode was determined under a stereomicroscope and one specimen was selected from each group for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test. Results: The μTBS to normal enamel was higher than to fluorotic enamel in all groups except for group (R-B). The Maximum and minimum μTBS were noted in the group (normal, reduction, bonding) and (fluorosed, microabrasion, bonding), respectively. Tooth reduction increased μTBS more effectively than extended etching time after microabrasion. Conclusions: Fluorosis may reduce μTBS of composite resin to enamel. Microabrasion reduced the bond strength. Tooth reduction and extended etching time increased μTBS of composite resin to both normal and fluorotic enamel.
