Abstract:
The shear bond strength (SBS) between enhanced Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (e-MTA) and glass ionomer cement (GIC) under different placement intervals is of interest. Sixty acrylic blocks filled with e-MTA were restored with GIC at 0 min, 15 min and 24 h. The highest SBS (12.47 ± 1.29 MPa) was observed at the 15-minute interval. Predominantly mixed failures were seen in Groups II and III, while cohesive failures occurred in Group I. Applying GIC 15 minutes after e-MTA yields optimal bonding for durable restorations.

Strength of Cement
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...
