title: The effect of different adhesives and setting times on bond strength between Biodentine and composite.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 3 different adhesives with different functional monomers, on the shear bond strength (SBS) of Biodentine®.
  
  
  METHODS
  Acrylic blocks (n = 90) were prepared and a 2-mm height x 4-mm diameter hole was opened in each block. Every hole was completely restored with Biodentine®. Before preparation of composite restorations over the Biodentine® (2-mm height x 2-mm diameter), 3 different adhesives (Etch-37 (37%) w/BAC by Bisco &amp; Prime Bond N&amp;T, Clearfil S3 Bond and Adper Prompt L-Pop) were applied. SBS was evaluated using a universal testing machine, and failure mode for each sample was recorded. The results were statistically analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test.
  
  
  RESULTS
  When the megapascal values of all groups were compared, although there was no statistically significant difference in the different setting times (p&gt;0.05), statistically significant differences were observed among all adhesive groups (p&lt;0.05). Moreover, the highest SBS values were observed in the Clearfil S3 Bond group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Clinical performance of Biodentine® may be affected by adhesive procedures and its setting time.
