“…Resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC), which is also considered as a self-adhesive material/cement, has been developed by adding resin components to GIC to overcome the problem of moisture sensitivity, and offers the benefit of both resins and GIC like fluoride release and greater strength (Kapoor, Prabhu, & Balakrishnan, 2017;Pathak, Shashibhushan, Poornima, & Reddy, 2016;Rosenstiel, Land, & Crispin, 1998). In RMGIC, the resin component was thought to act as a reinforcing agent, resulting in the combination of micromechanical interlocking and chemical adhesion (Sekhar, Anil, Thomas, & Ginjupalli, 2017;Somani, Jaidka, Singh, & Sibal, 2016). RelyX Luting used in the study is a resin-modified powder/liquid glass ionomer luting cement and the results showed there was an inverse relationship between shear bond strength and severity of fluorosis, except comparison between moderate and severe groups had no statistical significance, which was partially in accordance with Awliya and Akpata (1999).…”
