Scanning electron microscopy revealed partial removal of the smear layer or an etching effect of dentin as a result of the application of hemostatic agents on dentin .
PRACTICAL IMPLICATION S Adhesive procedures may be affected adversely when performed on dentin and enamel contaminated by hemostatic agents .
Hemostatic agents may induce changes in the dentin surface morphology .
The results of this review indicate that the bond strength of self-etching adhesive systems is affected more negatively than is that of etch- and -rinse systems .
BACKGROUND Hemostatic agents have been used clinical ly in dentistry for many years to control bleeding .
Influence of Ankaferd Blood Stopper on shear bond strength of bonding systems.
This study investigated the effect of Ankaferd Blood Stopper ( ABS ) contamination on bond strength of total- and self-etching systems . Seventy m and ibular third molars sectioned in a mesio-distal direction were mounted in acrylic resin , and flat dentin surfaces were exposed . The specimens were r and omly assigned to seven groups ( n=20 ) , according to the surface treatment : Group I , ABS contamination+37 % phosphoric acid+Solobond M ; Group II , ABS contamination+Clearfil SE Bond ; Group III , ABS contamination+All Bond SE ; Group VI , 37 % phosphoric acid+ABS contamination+Solobond M ; Group V , Solobond M ; Group VI , Clearfil SE Bond ; and Group VII , All Bond SE . Next , a resin composite ( Gr and io ) was built up using a plastic apparatus and polymerized . The specimens were tested in shear mode at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min . There were significant differences in bond strengths between the control and ABS-contaminated sample s. These findings suggest that ABS contamination reduced bond strength of total- and self-etching adhesives
