ABSTRACT Aim This study aims to evaluate the effect of erbium:
Yttrium–aluminum–garnet (Er:YAG) laser irradiation on the enamel microshear bond
strength (µSBS), followed by the utilization of etch-and-rinse and universal
adhesive systems. Materials and methods A total of 32 molars were sectioned in
the mesiodistal direction producing 64 samples that were randomized into two
