Method: Thirty conic bases (5 mm x 5 mm x 3 mm) of each commercial brand of composite resin were fabricated. All bases of each group were submitted to a thermocycling regimen of 20,000 cycles (5oC to 55oC ㊣ 2oC, for 30 s). The bases of each group were randomly assigned to 3 sub-groups, in which a combination of the commercial brands was performed for the repairs. The specimens were stored in distilled water at 37∼C during 7 days and were thereafter tested in tensile strength in a universal testing machine (EMIC - MEM 2000) with 500 kgf load cell running at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min until fracture. Data in MPa were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey*s test (5%).Results: The following results were found: GI: Palfique Estelite 車 (11.22㊣4.00 MPa), Te Econom (12.03㊣3.47 MPa) and Filtek Z350 (10.66㊣2.89 MPa); GII: Palfique Estelite 車 (8.88㊣2.04 MPa), Te Econom (7.77㊣1.64 MPa) and Filtek Z350 (10.50㊣6.14 MPa); and GIII: Palfique Estelite 車 (8.41㊣2.50 MPa), Te Econom (12.33㊣3.18 MPa) and Z350 (11.73㊣3.54 MPa).Conclusion: The bond strengths at the interface of the different composite resins submitted to repair were statistically similar regardless of the commercial brand. %K Composite resins %K Tensile strength %K Laboratory tests. %U http://www.uepb.edu.br/eduep/pboci/pdf/Artigo8v72.pdf
