Abstract:
We evaluated the shear bond strength (SBS) of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine (BD) to coronal dentin after treatment with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), phytic acid (IP6), or etidronic acid (HEDP). Sodium hypochlorite-treated dentin surfaces were randomly divided into four groups according to conditioning protocol namely, 17% EDTA, 2.5% IP6, 9% HEDP, or distilled water (DS). Specimens were further divided according to the type of cement placed on conditioned dentin and SBS was tested. The results showed that DS/MTA and IP6/MTA groups had the highest values, and there was no significant difference between these two groups. IP6/BD group showed a lower SBS value compared to IP6/MTA; however, this did not reach the level of significance. The BS to dentin was influenced by the type of calcium silicate material and chelating agent. IP6 either improved or maintained the bonding while EDTA and HEDP showed a negative or no influence effect.
