Background: New restorative materials and techniques continue to appear in the market, the knowledge of which is required, to make an informed decision on the most suitable successful and cost effective treatment strategy. Aim: To compare and evaluate the Shear bond strength of different glass ionomer cements used in Pediatric dentistry. Materials and Methods: 60 Premolars were taken which were extracted due to orthodontic reasons. The extracted teeth were cleaned with a disinfectant and stored in distilled water at room temperature until further use. The teeth were divided into five groups: Group A: Anhydrous GIC, Group B: Giomer. All the samples were then subjected to shear bond strength test using universal testing machine. The data collected was tabulated and statistically analyzed using Anova one way test followed by tukey post Hoc HSD test using SPSS 16.0 software. Results: The Mean Shear bond strength was found to be maximum for Group B (Giomer) i.e. 2.90±0.55. Conclusion: Research and technology has revolutionized dental procedures. This revolution has occurred at such a rapid pace that it has become almost over whelming to the clinician who must take decision based on combination of experience and current trends.
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.
