Two vinyl Tygon tubes were placed on each dentin surface where the restorative materials were packed.Each group was subdivided into two subgroups according to whether or not subjected to gamma radiation. Each subgroup was further divided into two classes according to the aging periods and stored in artificial saliva. Micro-shear bond strength assessment was performed by Instron universal testing machine UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
