Shear Bond Strength to Calcium Hydroxide: Does Cavity Conditioning Make a Difference for Glass Ionomer Based Materials?
Background and Aim: Calcium hydroxide liners are commonlyused in deep cavities and their mechanical properties may affect theadhesion of restorative materials. This study evaluated the effect ofcavity conditioner application on the shear bond strength of glassionomer–based materials to a calcium hydroxide liner.Materia...
