Innovative Study Reveals Key Factors Influencing Bond Strength in Composite Resin Restorations

Posted: December 17, 2024
The article explores the immediate and delayed micro shear bond strength between composite resin and glass ionomer cements using different bonding techniques. The study found that resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) demonstrated superior bond strength compared to conventional glass ionomer cement (CGIC) in both immediate and delayed evaluations. Total etch (TE) bonding technique resulted in better bond strength than self-etch (SE), particularly with RMGIC. Smooth surface treatment showed significantly higher bond strength than medium and rough treatments within RMGIC. The findings emphasize the importance of using the appropriate bonding technique and surface treatment for optimal bond strength in composite resin restorations.
