The combined methodologies of fractography and laser-Raman spectroscopic analysis were used for evaluation of the resin-dentin bonds made with wet and dry bonding. Resin-dentin-bonded beams were produced by means of 2 acetone-based adhesives (One-Step and Prime & Bond NT). The microtensile bond test was conducted, and the fractured surfaces of all specimens were examined by SEM and an image analyzer. The amount of resin infiltration within the hybrid layer was quantified by means of a laser-Raman spectroscope. In Raman analysis, the amount of resin impregnation within the hybrid layer of the dry bonding was found to be significantly lower (approximately 50%) than that in the wet one. Under fractographic analysis, a correlation was found between the bond strength and the failure mode. Based on those findings, it was suggested that the integrity between the bonding resin and the top of the hybrid layer played a major role in bond strength.
