BASSI, Julio C et al. Is it necessary to pre-treat Dentine before GIC Restorations? Evidence from an in Vitro Study. Acta odontol. latinoam. [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.1, pp.27-32.  Epub 01-Jun-2020. ISSN 0326-4815.

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of differentpretreatmentapproaches on glass ionomer cement (GIC)bond strength (BS) to dentine. Sixty bovine incisors wereallocated into six groups according to substrate – sound orcariesaffecteddentine; and substrate pretreatmentapproach –no conditioning (control), polyacrylic acid for 10 s andphosphoric acid for 7 s. Teeth in the cariesaffecteddentinegroup were previously submitted to cariogenic pHcyclingchallenge. After dentine pretreatment,according to experi mentalgroups, polyethylene tubes were placed on flat dentinesurfaces and filled with GIC. Teeth were stored in distilledwater for 24 h at 37 °C and then submitted to microshear test(0.5 mm/min). Failure pattern analysis was performed understereomicroscope (400x). Data were analysed using twowayANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=5%). Statistically significantdifferences were found for the pretreatmentapproach,regardless of substrate (p<0.001). The polyacrylic acid groupand control group had similar BS values, and were both betterthan the phosphoric acid group. In general, GIC had betterbonding performance in sound dentine than in cariesaffecteddentine. In conclusion, dentine pretreatmentwith polyacrylicacid did not improve the performance of GIC restoration onclinically relevant substrates.
