Influence of temporary cements on bond strength between resin-based luting agents and dentin.

Purpose: To examine the influence of temporary cements on the strength of the bond formed between resin-based luting agents and dentin.

Methods: An acrylic resin plate was luted to bovine dentin using one of three temporary cements; HY-Bond Temporary Cement Hard (HYB), Freegenol Temporary Pack (FTP), or Neodyne T (NDT). The control group (CON) was not treated with cement.

Influence of temporary cement remnant and surface cleaning method on bond strength to dentin of a composite luting system.

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the influence of polycarboxylate temporary cement remaining on the dentin surface on the bond strength of a composite luting system. An acrylic resin plate was luted to bovine dentin with a polycarboxylate temporary cement (HY-Bond Temporary Cement Hard, HYB). The temporary cement was not used for the control groups.
