Resin-modified glass ionomer cement shows better shear bond strength than calcium silicate-based liners in composite restorations.• TheraCal can be used to provide a better bond strength comparable to that of resin-modified glass ionomer cement.• Cohesive mode of failure was seen in all the liner groups in majority.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
