title: Effect of chlorhexidine disinfectant on bond strength of glass ionomer cement to dentin using atraumatic restorative treatment.
abstract: This study investigated the effect of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) disinfectant on bond strength (BS) of high-density glass ionomer cement (HDGIC) to dentin following atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) and conventional preparations. Specimens were divided into four groups: Group 1--ART (control); Group 2--ART with CHX disinfection; Group 3--Conventional (control); Group 4--Conventional with CHX disinfection. HDGIC was packed in cylindrical molds placed over flat dentin surfaces; BS was measured after seven days. ART-prepared dentin surfaces disinfected with CHX provided bonding to HDGIC that was comparable to untreated dentin and to conventionally prepared dentin.
