Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the shear bond strength of Smart Dentin Replacement, Compomer, and Flowable Composite Resin, in dentin cavities of extracted primary molars.
Materials and Methods: In this study, thirty-three primary molars with at least one intact proximal surface were selected. After exposing a flat dentine surface, the teeth were randomly assigned into three equal groups: Smart Dentin Replacement, Compomer and Flowable Composite Resin. The restorative materials were applied to the assigned groups using a ready-made cylindrical mould and shear bond strength was tested using Universal Testing Machine.
Results: There was no statistically significant differences between the three groups (p=0.396). The highest mean value was found in Intervention group I (Smart Dentin Replacement) (29.11±4.98) (MPa), followed by Control Group (Flowable Composite resin) (27.40±6.03) (MPa), while the lowest value was found in Intervention Group II (Flowable Compomer) (25.63±6.61) (MPa).
Conclusion: The Results were not statistically significant; Smart Dentin Replacement showed the highest values.
