Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the shear bond strength of nanohybrid composite resins (NCR) and microhybrid composite resins (MCR) placed over three different dentin replacement materials: SDR—Smart Dentin Replacement™, Biodentine™, and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC). Methods and materials: Thirty acrylic blocks (50 mm × 20 mm × 15 mm), each with a central hole, were prepared, which were randomly distributed into three equal groups, each corresponding to one of the three dentin replacement materials—SDR, Biodentine, and RMGIC. The central holes were then filled with these materials. After setting and application of the respective adhesive system, the specimens were further divided into two subgroups each of NCR or MCR. The respective composite material was then applied to the dentin replacement materials using a cylindrical plastic matrix. Shear bond strength was tested on a universal testing machine (Instron 3366), at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/minute. Results: SDR attained consistently higher shear bond strength (means: 21.18, 22.19 Mpa) values than RMGIC and Biodentine, with both types of composite resins (MCR and NCR), which were statistically significant (p <0.001). When considering the means of the shear bond strength measurements obtained by the two types of the composite resin, no significant difference (p <0.05) was found between them with all three types of dentin replacement materials. Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the bond strengths achieved between MCR and NCR to the different dentine replacement materials. Hence, either type of composite resin may be expected to achieve similar bond strengths to the underlying substrate. SDR™ is a suitable dentine replacement material for placing below a composite resin veneer as it can achieve immediate higher bond strengths. Clinical significance: SDR can be used as an effective bulk fill material in deep dentinal caries which can be capped with composite resins
