Materials and Methods: 130 sound wet human molars were used to prepare a flat dentin surface on its buccal side. Randomly, they were divided into 2 groups (n=65) based on the adhesives Group 1: (Prime & Bond Select™ Dentsply Detrey GmbH, 78467 Konstanz, Germany) and Group 2: (Prime & Bond Etch & Rinse™ Dentsply Detrey GmbH, 78467 Konstanz, Germany). Each main group has further divided into 3 sub-groups (n-30) based on the type of contaminants used (blood and haemostatic agent). Based on the decontaminants used (air, water, NaOCl) after adhesive light curing, these contaminated groups were further subdivided into 3 sub-groups (n=10). Blood and haemostatic were applied after the application of the adhesives. Nanoceramic composite resin was applied as a cylindrical disc on top of dentine surface, that were subjected to shear bond strength test (Istrone®). A stereomicroscopic evaluation was done to evaluate the modes of failure. Statistical analysis: Three-way ANOVA following Scheffe post hoc test using software SPSS version 20 was used. Results: Self-etch adhesive system revealed the highest shear bond strength than a total-etch adhesive system after contamination with blood or haemostatic agent. The mean difference of shear bond strength (MPa) in both total-etch and self-etch between blood and the hemostatic agent was statistically significant (p %U https://annalsofdentalspecialty.net.in/article/comparative-effect-of-contamination-and-decontamination-of-two-adhesive-systems-by-blood-and-haemostatic-agent-on-the-bond-strength-to-dentin-in-vitro
