Comparative evaluation of shear bond strength of two different GICs in pediatric dentistry

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