Shear Bond Strength of Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement to Mechanically Treated Versus Chemo-mechanically Treated Dentin.
J Pak Dent Assoc Jan ;19(3):139-43.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of a chemo mechanical caries removal (CMCR) gel Carisolv™ on shear bond strength (SBS) of conventional glass ionomer cement bonded to human permanent dentin. METHODOLOGY: One conventional glass ionomer cement (Fuji IX, GC Co. Tokyo Japan) was used. Sixty four teeth were sectioned occlusally; exposed coronal dentin was polished with silicon papers. Teeth in the control groups (C) were directly bonded to respective glass ionomer cements (GIC). For test groups (T) the polished dentin surface was pre-treated with Carisolv™ (Singlemix Uncoloured Gel, Medi Team, Sweden) prior to bonding. Bonded specimens were stored for 24 hours and stressed to failure in the shear mode. RESULT: SBS of Fuji IX, test group (4.97 ± 0.82 MPa) was significantly higher (P = .001) than its control group (3.98 ± 0.67 MPa). CONCLUSION: Carisolv™ pre-treatment significantly increased the shear bond strength of conventional glass ionomer cement to dentin.
