The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of wet and overwet dentin on the long-term clinical performance of two universal adhesive systems used as etch-and-rinse application mode in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Materials \& Methods: 200 restorations will be randomly placed in 50 subjects according to the following groups (n=50): AMP-wet (Ambar Universal APS Plus adhesive on wet dentin); AMP-overwet (Ambar Universal APS Plus adhesive on oversaturated dentin); PBA-wet (Prime\&Bond Active adhesive on wet dentin); PBA-overwet (Prime\&Bond Active adhesive on oversaturated dentin). For all groups, the enamel and dentin will be etched for 15s. All groups will be light-cured for 10s/1,000 mW/cm2. A resin composite will be placed by applying three increments and each one was light cured for 20s/1,000 mW/cm2. The restorations will be finished immediately with fine diamond burs and spiral polishers. The restorations will be evaluated at baseline and after 6 months by using the FDI criteria. The following outcomes will be evaluated: retention, marginal staining, marginal adaptation, post-operative sensitivity and recurrence of caries. The differences among the groups will be calculated using Friedman repeated measures analysis of variance rank (α = 0.05).
