The Effect of Silver Diamine Fluoride on Bond Strength of Three Types of Bulk-Fill Restorative Materials to Dentin.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 38 percent silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application on the shear bond strength (SBS) of three types of bulk-fill restorative materials to dentin. Eighty recently extracted deidentified, sound, human premolar teeth were sectioned to expose the mid-coronal dentin. A composite restorative material (ACTIVA™), a giomer (Beautifil), and a high-viscosity glass ionomer (HVGI) cement (Equia Forte) were used.
