Abstract
This work presents a method of measuring the maximum stress that a composite sample fixed on a tooth surface will withstand. The test was carried out for 3 different surface conditions of enamel: no processing, after treatment with a diamond drill, and after treatment with a diode laser. The force of adhesion was measured in an Instron 5960 testing machine. The results demonstrate a significant effect of the surface condition on the adhesion of the composite to the enamel.
