AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate effect of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on the shear bond strength (SBS) of glass ionomer restoration to primary dentine. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty extracted primary molars with no restorations or developmental anomalies were only chosen for the study. Twenty dentine slices with 2 mm thickness were prepared and then randomly allocated into two groups (n = 10 per group). For Group 1 (experimental): Dentine surfaces were treated with 38% *SDF solution (Elevate oral care, USA) for 3 min using micro-brush, followed by a 30 s rinse with water and Group 2 (Control): Dentine surfaces were treated with distilled water for 3 min then rinsed for 30 s. The cavity conditioner was applied to flat dentin of both groups for 10 s then washed and dried gently with compressed air. All the specimens were restored with *RMGIC (Riva Light Cure, SDI, Australia). SBS was determined using a Universal Testing machine and Failure mode was evaluated using stereomicroscope. Data were collected and statistically analyzed. Independent t test was used to assess differences in SBS between study groups and mode of failure was analyzed using Fisher’s exact test. Level of significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. IBM SPSS statistical software (version 26) was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: The experimental group had significantly higher mean of shear bond (11.92 ± 3.35) strength than the control group (6.99 ± 2.98) (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Primary dentin pre-treatment with 38% SDF increases the shear bond strength between RMGIC and primary dentin according to the results of this in vitro study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
