Abstract
Objective :"Prior to any restorative therapy, it is crucial to disinfect the dentin surface to ensure the treatment's durability.. This research was done to find out how different dentin cleaning techniques affected the shear bond strength (SBS) of resin-modified glass inomer cement both immediately and afterwards (RMGIC)..
Material and Methods: "A smooth dentinal surface was obtained by trimming the occlusal surfaces of 60 extracted premolars, which were then randomly divided into three groups. 2% CHX gluconate in group II, ozonated water in group III, and group I distilled water (control). Subgroups 1 and 2 of each group were then examined for shear bond strength after 24 hours and three months, respectively (n = 10).
Results: For 24 hr, the shear bond strength was higher in DW followed by Ozone while it was the lowest in CHX with significant difference while for 3 months, the shear bond strength was higher in CHX followed by Ozone while it was the lowest in DW with significant difference.
Conclusions: According to the study's findings, it is advised to employ ozone as a disinfection agent to prolong the life of the GIC restoration and prevent bond strength deterioration.
