Hypothesis
The study aims to evaluate the shear bond strength of universal cements to dentin prepared with different diamond burs using various adhesive strategies.
Conclusion
Using universal cements combined with universal adhesives provides better dentin bonding performance than using universal cements alone.
Supporting Evidence
- Adhesive strategies significantly influenced dentin bond strength.
- Etch-and-rinse mode provided the highest bond strength.
- Universal cements showed better performance when combined with adhesives.
Takeaway
This study found that using special glue with dental cement makes it stick better to teeth than using the cement alone.
Methodology
120 molars were prepared and divided into groups based on diamond bur type and adhesive strategy, then tested for shear bond strength.
Limitations
The study did not assess the effects of simulated aging and the orientation of dentinal tubules was not considered.
