An in vitro evaluation of bond strength of a glass polyalkenoate cement to human dental enamel and stainless steel is reported. Shear testing of adhesive strength was measured over time at 23°C following a one minute mixing time.
It was found that there is a significant difference in bond strengths between enamel and stainless steel with strength to enamel the greater. Bond strength increases with time with very low strength measured within 30 minutes from commencement of mixing.
