The efficacy of an adhesive agent is an important aspect in restoring noncarious cervical lesion (NCCL) as studies have proved that compromise in adhesive agent results in reduced bond strength. The purpose of this prospective randomized double-blind clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of the newly formulated "universal" dental adhesive in the restoration of NCCLs in permanent dentition using either a self-etch or a selective-etch approach.
