Abstract Recurrent caries and marginal leakage are common problems annoy many dental patients, also esthetics is the main demand. So several bioactive restorative materials have been used to inhibit tooth demineralization, help to regain tooth structure by creating an optimal pH, bacterial inhibition, good seal with tooth structure, and active mineral ions release. The present in-vitro research studied the effect of bioactive restorative materials on the shear bond strength to dentin surface. 60 freshly extracted molars were utilized. The roots of each tooth were embedded in auto polymerizing resin 1mm below cemento enamel junction inside a splitted metallic holder which have a fitting surface covered with a separating medium. The experimental occlusal surfaces had to be free of contamination by acrylic resin and were carefully trimmed using a diamond disc adapted to low speed hand piece under copious water coolant to expose clean flat occlusal dentin surfaces, 600 Grit Wet Silicon Carbide abrasive papers were used to finish the dentin surface in a circular motion and to create a standardized smear layer. The prepared specimens were randomly divided into three groups (20 each) according to type of bioactive material used with its recommended dentin treatment as follows: group I: application of 25% polyacrylic acid on dentin surface followed by application of Fuji IX GP EXTRA glass ionomer, which had dimensions (4mm in diameter × 3mm in thickness). group II: FL primer was applied on the exposed dentin surface, air dried , an even layer of FL bond II was applied, light-cured ,followed by application of beautifill II Giomer. group III: dentin surface of each specimen was etched with 38% phosphoric acid gel followed by application of ACTIVA TM BIOACTIVE restorative material. All specimens stored in distilled water at 37 °C and at100% humidity. All materials were applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions. All groups were subdivided into two equal subgroups (A&B). Half of specimens (subgroup B) were thermocycled in thermocycling apparatus for 500 cycles from 5°C to 55°C with 30 sec. dwell time, 20 seconds transfer time. shear bond strength testing using an Instron machine. A shear force was applied to each specimen at a crosshead speed of 0.5mm/min until fracture. The force of debonding was then divided by the cross sectional bonding area to obtain the shear bond strength. The results of this study revealed that, gp III (ACTIVA) recorded the highest shear bond strength values (6.587±0.979), followed by gp II (Beautifill II) (6.029±0.820) while the lowest shear bond strength values were found at gp I (FUJI IX GP EXTRA) with mean values of( 3.514 ±0.571). ANOVA test was used to compare the tested groups at each subgroup at a level of significance 0.05. A statistical significant difference was recorded. Therefore statistical analysis using (Tukey`s test) was performed to find out which group is responsible for the recorded difference. It was found that group I was responsible since a significant difference was present. The dentin sides of all fractured interfaces were examined under a stereomicroscope at magnification 40X to determine the mode of failure. |
