Abstract
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution has been used clinically to prevent and arrest dental caries. To evaluate the microtensile bond strength between silver-modified atraumatic restorative technique (SMART) and glass ionomer cement (GIC) applied to carious primary teeth and also the mode of restoration failure. A total of 40 carious primary molars were equally allocated into test and control groups after sectioning through the middle of the carious lesion. The test specimens were treated with one drop of 38% SDF and the control with deionized water. The samples were stored in artificial saliva for 14 days at 37° C and the dentin surfaces were conditioned and restored with Fuji IX GP Extra. After 24 hours storage in artificial saliva, the specimens were prepared for testing of microtensile bond strength. Paired t-test was used to compare the mean bond strengths. The mode of failure was assessed with a stereomicroscope under 40× magnification. The mean microtensile strength for the test group was 7.39 MPa [standard deviation (SD ± 2.3)] and 7.20 MPa (SD ± 1.98) for the control group (p > 0.05). The most common mode of failure was the mixed failure mode in both groups. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) does not adversely affect the bond strength between GIC applied to carious dentin.
