Abstract:
The bond strength (BS) and failure status of demineralized dentin following the application of chitosan solution and chlorhexidine (CHX) is of interest to dentists. A total of 30 non-pathological extracted premolar teeth were subjected to caries induction through the pH cycle procedure. The teeth were divided equally into 3 groups as such as group I: control (distilled water), Group II-2.5% chitosan solution and Group III - chlorhexidine (CHX). Later teeth were subjected to a microtensile bond strength test (µTBS). The failure mode was assessed using stereo microscope. The bond strength of the chitosan-treated specimens was significantly higher than that of the chlorhexidine treated specimens and the control specimen which had the lowest bond strength.
