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 .
Plant extract ankaferd blood stopper effect on bond strength.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of Ankaferd Blood Stopper ( ABS ) on the shear bond strength ( SBS ) of orthodontic attachments . MATERIAL S AND METHODS The study material consisted of 60 freshly extracted bovine permanent m and ibular incisor teeth . All teeth were cleaned and r and omly divided into three groups of 20 specimens and etched with 37 % phosphoric acid for 15 seconds , washed , and air-dried . Teeth in groups 1 and 2 were contaminated with ABS and blood , respectively . Teeth in group 3 were only air-dried . Roth Generous maxillary central incisor brackets were bonded with Transbond XT to all teeth . SBS was applied using a universal test machine . The one-way analysis of variance ( ANOVA ) test was used to determine significant differences in SBS between the three groups , and Tukey honestly significant post hoc test was used to compare subgroups . RESULTS The mean bond strengths and st and ard deviations of groups 1 , 2 , and 3 were 9.58 + /- 0.95 , 4.04 + /- 0.69 , and 19.56 + /- 1.84 MPa , respectively . CONCLUSIONS Specimens contaminated with blood showed a statistically significant lower in vitro SBS than those contaminated with ABS . ABS may be used clinical ly for obtaining a blood-free tooth surface during application of the brackets on surgically exposed , impacted teeth
