Objectives:
The hybrid layer at the interface of resin-modified glass ionomer cements and dentin is prone to degradation by endogenous matrix metalloproteinases. We aimed to investigate the effect of two types of collagen crosslinkers, carbodiimide and proanthocyanidin (PA), on immediate and medium-term bond strength of a resin-modified glass ionomer to dentin.
Materials And Methods:
Seventy-two molars were flattened on the occlusal surface to expose dentin. The specimens were divided into control, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropy) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), and PA groups (n = 24). In the EDC and PA groups, carbodiimide and PA solutions were applied for 1 min, respectively. Resin-modified glass ionomer was bonded. Half of the specimens in each group were tested for shear bond strength after 24 h and the other half were tested after 6 months.
Statistical Analysis:
Data were analyzed with SPSS version 16 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA), using two-way ANOVA, and subgroup analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA, Tukey's test, and t-test.
Results:
Two-way ANOVA showed that treatment and time affected the bond strength. Carbodiimide and PA did not affect the immediate bond strength (P = 0.51). After 6 months, the bond strength of the EDC group was significantly lower than that of the control and PA groups. Bond strength of the control and PA groups increased after 6 months (P ≤ 0.002).
Conclusion:
PA did not interfere with maturation of RMGIC unlike carbodiimide. Therefore, it can be suggested as an matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor before bonding of resin-modified glass ionomer to dentin.

When atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration they form ions. Ionic bonds are electrostatic attractions between ions with opposite charges. Ionic compounds are rigid and brittle when solid and may dissociate into their constituent ions in water. Covalent compounds, by contrast, remain intact unless a chemical reaction breaks them.

In the absence of any leveling effect, the acid strength of binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals (A) increases as the H-A bond strength decreases down a group in the periodic table. For group 17, the order of increasing acidity is HF < HCl < HBr < HI. Likewise, for group 16, the order of increasing acid strength is H2O < H2S < H2Se < H2Te. Across a row in the periodic table, the acid strength of binary hydrogen compounds increases with increasing...
