Abstract:Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinases enzymes (MMPs) can degrade the hybrid layer which can cause failure of composite restorations. Chlorhexidine gluconate 2% can reduce MMPs activity and increase the bond strength of the resin to dentin. Purpose: This study aims to determine the role of the duration of chlorhexidine gluconate 2% application on shear bond strength of a total-etch bonding agent. Methods: A total of 36 freshly extracted maxillary premolars were removed occlusally by one-third of the crown usi… Show more
