Push-Out Bond Strength of Calcium Silicate-Based Cements in the Presence or Absence of a Smear Layer
Objectives. Variations between the material compositions and the presence of a smear layer on the dentin surface may influence the bond strength of the material, thus this study evaluated the push-out bond strength of different calcium silicate materials

Smear layer on dentin in restorative dentistry [PDF]
Adhesion to enamel has become a routine technique in restorative dentistry. Adhesion to dentin, however, is still under investigation. Except structural elements of the dentin, smear layer has been one of the reasons that the interaction between the ...
