Effect of SDF and SDF/KI Treatment on Microtensile Bond Strength of Bioactive Materials | Biomedgrid

Purpose: This pilot study was undertaken to determine whether SDF or SDF/KI treatment of dentin surfaces influenced the microtensile bond strength of commercially available bioactive products. Methods: The teeth were then randomly divided into three groups of eight depending on the treatment: Advantage Arrest (SDF), Riva Star (SDF/KI), and Control group (Activa materials with and without bonding agent). Samples prepared and microtensile bond strength determined for each sample group. Results: The results of this study showed a significant statistical difference in microtensile bond strength between the control groups and the Advantage Arrest (SDF) and Riva Star (SDF/KI) treated groups for both restorative materials. Bond strengths further decreased when they applied without the application of a bonding agent. Conclusion: From the results of this study, the null hypothesis that there would be no significant difference in microtensile bond strength when Activa Bioactive products used with SDF or SDF/KI application, was rejected.
