title: Bond strength of glass-ionomer cement and composite resin combinations.
abstract: The tensile bond strength to dentin was measured for three glass-ionomer cement and composite resin combinations: two light-curing glass-ionomer cements (Vitrebond and XR-Ionomer) and one traditional glass-ionomer cement (Ketac-Bond), two adhesive systems (Scotchbond, and XR-Bonding System), and a corresponding composite resin. The bond strength of this "sandwich" was also compared with that of the same cements used in bulk. Vitrebond showed a significantly higher bond strength in bulk than did the other two cements. Of the sandwiches, the XR-Ionomer and XR-Bond combination showed a bond strength significantly higher than that of the Vitrebond and Scotchbond or Ketac-Bond and Scotchbond combination. The fracture of the bond was mainly adhesive for Vitrebond, cohesive for XR-Ionomer when used in bulk and adhesive-cohesive when used in a sandwich, and cohesive for Ketac-Bond.
