The teeth were prepared by cutting theocclusal enamel with diamond bur to expose dentin and groundwet with silicone carbide papers. The specimens were thendivided into three groups and stored in distilled water.Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus was used in the first groupand a stainless steel round mould, with a central hole of 4mm in diameter and 2 mm in height was used to build up thecomposite Z100. The composite resin was inserted in two increments,each one was light cured for 40 seconds. This gro-upis divided into four subgroups each of ten according to thestorage time (one day, fifteen days, three months and six months)then stored in distilled water accordingly.The same procedure was repeated in the second and thirdgroups. The composite used in the second group was Tetricwith Excite bonding agent. In the third group, Definite compositeand its bonding agent Etch and Prime was used.The bond strength was measured and the data were statisticallyanalyzed. Z100 composite had the greatest shear bondstrength followed by Tetric and Definite. One day and fifteendays storage time for all types of composite had greater shearbond strength than the three months and six months storagetime.In conclusion there was a gradual decrease in bond strengthwith increased storage time up to six months irrespectiveof the type of composite.
