Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of natural crosslinkers proanthocyanidin, genipin and glutaraldehyde on shear bond strength at the composite resin-dentin interface . METHODS: The in-vitro study was conducted at the Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lahore, Pakistan, from June to September 2018. Exposed dentin surfaces of extracted teeth were conditioned and randomly divided into proanthocyanidin, genipin, glutaraldehyde and control groups according to the type of surface treatment. The dentin surfaces were treated with 6.5% of primers proanthocyanidin, genipin, glutaraldehyde in the relevant groups, while teeth in the control group did not receive any primer application. After thorough rinsing, surfaces of all teeth were restored with a bonding agent and a restorative composite. After 24h, shear bond strength was tested at the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research laboratories in Lahore. Pattern of fractures and quality of interface were investigated microscopically at the Lahore campus of COMSATS University, Islamabad. Data was analysed using SPSS 22. RESULTS: Of the 80 teeth, there were 20(25%) in each of the 4 groups. Surface treatment in the three intervention groups significantly raised the shear bond strength at the composite resin-dentin interface compared to the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Chemical modification with collagen crosslinkers improved bond strength at the composite resin-dentin interface.
