Abstract

In this study, the in vitro bond strength of dual-curing resin cements to indirect composite restorations when the cement was either light polymerized or allowed to only autopolymerize was evaluated. Occlusal dentin surfaces of 56 extracted human third molars were flattened to expose coronal dentin. Teeth were assigned to eight groups (n = 7) according to resin cement products and polymerization modes: conventional cement (Panavia F 2.0; Kuraray Medical) and self-adhesive cements {[}RelyX Unicem (3M ESPE), BisCem (Bisco), and G-Cem (GC Corp.)]. Cements were applied to prepolymerized resin discs (2-mm-thick Sinfony; 3M ESPE), which were subsequently bonded to the prepared dentin surfaces. The restored teeth were either light-polymerized through the overlying composite according to manufacturers' instructions or were allowed to only self-cure. After 24 h, the teeth and restorations were sectioned to obtain multiple bonded beams (1.0 mm(2)) and tested in tension at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until failure. Data (MPa) were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (alpha = 0.05). Light activation of some cement systems (G-Cem and Panavia F 2.0) increased the bond strength, while the curing mode did not affect the bond strength for some (RelyX Unicem and BisCem). The bond strength in the autopolymerized mode varied among products. In general, the use of self-adhesive resin cements did not provide significantly higher bond strengths than that of a conventional material, and two self-adhesive cements yielded significantly lower bond values (regardless of cure mode) than the other products.
