Despite significant improvements in the wear resistance of posterior composite restorations, they still undergo occlusal wear, color change, and surface staining with time. One method of repairing these restorations is re-surfacing the old composite. This study investigated the bonding of new composite to the corresponding old composite material by several different mechanical conditioning steps, chemical conditioning steps, primer conditioning steps, and four posterior composites. Aged composite surfaces were conditioned, re-bonded to new composite, stored in artificial saliva for seven days at 37 degrees C, and tested in shear. The mean shear strength for unrepaired composites was 27 MPa. Optimal re-bond strengths were 88% (Estilux), 77% (Ful-Fil), 92% (Occlusin), and 102% (P-10) of original bulk shear strengths. General linear modeling revealed that the best combination tested was roughening with a D830 diamond bur, conditioning the surface with water, and priming with Scotchbond-1 dentin bonding agent.
