The Effect of Green Tea Extract as a Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibitor on the Bond Strength of Resin Composite

Abstract: Objective: the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) from green tea extract as collagen cross linking agent on dentin bond durability at different aging times. Materials and Methods: thirty sound premolars were used, they were divided into two groups (15 each) according to the pretreatment protocol. Mid-coronal flate dentine surface was obtained. Group A had no pretreatment done, where bonding agent was placed as the manufacturer instructions. Group B had EGCG pre-… Show more
