A Comparative Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength of Seventh- and Eighth-Generation Self-etch Dentin Bonding Agents in Primary Teeth: An In Vitro Study

Abstract

AIM: To compare the shear bond strength of seventh- and eight-generation self-etch dentin bonding agents in primary teeth using universal testing machine. MATERIALS AND METHODS: test. RESULTS: value = 0.017). CONCLUSION: Shear bond strength of eighth-generation dentin bonding agent (Futurabond DC) was better than seventh-generation dentin bonding agent (Adper Single Bond Universal). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: An effective bond to tooth would reduce marginal microleakage, bacterial penetration, postoperative sensitivity, possibility of pulpal inflammation, and preserve tooth structure by allowing minimal cavity preparation.
