Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of natural cross linkers (Propolis and Hesperidin) on shear bond strength (SBS) to dentin after storage in different media. Materials and Methods: Ninety extracted molars were used and divided into three main groups according to dentin surface treatment (n=30) where, A1: treated with Propolis, A2: treated with Hesperidin and A3: receive no treatment to serve as a control group. Each group was further subdivided into 3 subgroups (n=10) according to the storage media either stored in Acids (B1) or stored in Artificial saliva (B2) or stored in distilled Water (B3). The shear bond strength (SBS) was determined using a universal testing machine. Results: The dentin specimens treated with Propolis showed significantly highest SBS. Conclusion: Both Propolis and Hesperidin cross linking agents are considered beneficial in improving bonding to dentin, though Propolis was much more effective. Storage media has deteriorating effect on resin-dentin shear bond strength.
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.
