Abstract
Background: Calcium silicate-based cements or bioceramics have revolutionized and simplified pulp-capping procedures due to its versatility and accessibility. Aim: This study aimed to assess the shear bond strength (SBS) of a bioceramic material to composite resin at two aging periods and with three universal adhesives. Materials and Methods: test were used to statistically analyze the data. Results: Highest SBS values were observed in Group III at 12 min and 24 h of the setting of Biodentine. Conclusions: Compared to the 12-min group, SBS was higher at 24 h. Group III exhibited higher bond strength than other subgroups.
