Comparative evaluation of shear bond strength of two adhesive materials on demineralized dentin treated with silver diamine fluoride: An in-vitro study
Conclusions: It was concluded that SE adhesive + GC G-Aenial Universal Flo is the material with better shear bond strength compared to GIC Type IX with and without SDF. Considering the severity and prevalence of ECC, socioeconomic strata of Indian population, the choice of material for masking the discoloration, and prevention of disease, GIC can be suggested as an alternative over GC G-Aenial Universal Flo.
