This study evaluated the effect of salivary contamination on the shear bond strength of two highly viscous glass ionomer cements (Fuji IX GP Fast and Ketac-Molar Maxicap) to conditioned dentin and assessed the effect of cleaning the contaminated field prior to bonding. The buccal surfaces of 90 human molars and premolars were ground to expose dentin and the teeth were then set in resin. The specimens were divided into two groups for each material, then further subdivided into three groups of 15 teeth each: Group 1-uncontaminated (control), Group 2-dentin contaminated with saliva, Group 3-dentin contaminated, washed and air dried. The specimens were made by bonding the test material to dentin using a 4 mm diameter gelatin capsule. All specimens were protected with varnish and placed in distilled water at 37°C for seven days prior to measuring bond strength in shear. Fractured surfaces were examined visually and by using SEM to assess mode of failure. There were no significant differences in mean shear bond strength among the three test groups for either material (ANOVA). However, shear bond strength of Fuji IX to dentin was significantly greater than Ketac-Molar (p=0.019) for all groups. Weibull analysis showed that contaminated (Group 2) specimens had a greater probability of failure at low stresses. Modes of failure were mostly cohesive for Fuji IX and adhesive/cohesive for Ketac-Molar. In conclusion, salivary contamination did not affect the mean shear bond strength of Fuji IX GP Fast and Ketac-Molar Maxicap to conditioned dentin; however, it increased the probability of failure at low stresses. ©Operative Dentistry, 2005.
