- This study compared the shear bond strength (SBS) of EQUIA Forte HT against other materials like EQUIA Forte, glass ionomer cement (GIC), and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC), bonded to NeoMTA 2.
- A total of 120 samples were prepared and tested for both immediate and delayed SBS, revealing significant differences among the materials used.
- EQUIA Forte HT demonstrated results similar to RMGIC, showing it as a promising option for restorative procedures after pulpotomies.
