Article Synopsis
- Hemostatic agents are commonly used in dental procedures to control bleeding, but they can negatively impact the bonding of resin composites to dentin, making their removal before bonding important.
- The study involved 90 premolar teeth divided into groups treated with either no hemostatic agent, ferric sulfate, or aluminum chloride, with cleanup methods including water, phosphoric acid, katana cleaner, and air abrasion.
- Results showed that the type of hemostatic agent and cleansing method significantly affected bond strength, with phosphoric acid yielding the best results and ferric sulfate showing the lowest bond strength.
BACKGROUND Dentin contamination with hemostatic agents before bonding indirect restorations negatively affects the bond strength. However, the consensus on which materials could be used to clean contamination of hemostatic agents has not been explored. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Katana Cleaner applied on the surface of dentin contaminated with hemostatic agents on the shear bond strength (SBS) of self-adhesive resin cement by comparing it with three other surface cleaners.

Methods: A fresh mixture of each sealer moistened with either deionised water or PBS was subjected to a setting time test. Set discs (n = 10) were submerged in either deionised water or PBS to evaluate pH changes and solubility at 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days.
