Abstract In this in vitro study we investigated the influence of ionizing gamma rays on the stability in the region of the dentinoenamel junction. We removed the enamel on the labial surface of 30 incisors of bovines up to the dentinoenamel junction, so that a circular area of enamel with a diameter of 2.0 ± 0.1 mm was left and an enamel cylinder was created. 15 teeth were irradiated by a cobalt‐60‐source (energy dose 70 Gy). The other 15 teeth were used as controls. Using a material testing apparatus the shear bond strengths were measured by breaking off the enamel cylinders. Furthermore, the breaking modes were investigated in SEM. Comparing the results of the shear bond strength experiments, it was obvious that the stability in the region of the dentinoenamel junction was significantly less among the irradiated teeth than among the non‐irradiated teeth. The median value of the gamma ray treated teeth was x̃= 19.1 MPa and that of the non‐ray‐treated teeth was x̃= 37.4 MPa. The non‐irradiated teeth showed fractured surfaces only in dentin in 10 cases and in 5 cases in both dentin and enamel. In contrast to that, the irradiated teeth had fractured surfaces in 12 cases exclusively in dentin and only in 3 cases the enamel was also fractured. These results lead us to conclude that changes of biophysical property of teeth can be caused by the influence of ionizing rays.
