Evaluation of effect of three different dental unit waterline antimicrobials on the shear bond strength to dentin - An ex vivo study.

Background: In restorative treatment dental unit water is used while irrigating the cavity and also in the use of composite restorations to flush away the etchant to place bonding agent. These antimicrobials may influence the bond strength of the dentine bonding agent to the dentine.

Aim And Objective: To evaluate the effect of three different dental units waterline antimicrobials on the shear bond strength of dentin.
