The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of irrigation
solutions on the dentin flexural strength .(20) extracted third molars were
gathered with age avarege (18-24) years old, and the dentine bars that will
be prepared and designed for study with similar dimensions (width 1
mm, thickness 2 mm, Length of at least 7 mm).
The research aims to evaluate the micro shear bond strength of the calcium silicate cement
(Biodentine) and the glass ionomer cement (GIC) to dentine. The study was performed using
upper or lower premolars, and samples were divided into six equal s
ubgroups according to
the time period (3 h, 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks), in order to study changes in
the values of shear bond strength with time. The comparative study showed that the success
rate of adhesion in the Biodentine group was smaller than that in the GIC group for the tested
premolars after 3 hours and one day, whereas the success rate in the Biodentine group was
greater than that in the GIC group for the tested premolars after 8 weeks.
Results showed a positive correlation between the mean values of shear bond strengths and
the studied time in Biodentine group, which ranged from 1.49 ± 0.18 MPa at 3 hours to a
maximum value of 2.65 ± 0.26 MPa after 8 weeks. While there was a negative correlation
between the mean values and the studied time in the GIC group and values ranged from 3.02
± 0.13 MPa at 3 hours and 2.06 ± 0.09 MPa at 8 weeks.
The study showed the advantage of Biodentine compared with GIC in terms of
micro-bonding to dentine, which can have a clinically significant importance in preventing
the micro leakage and reducing bacterial contamination.
