Effect of Novel Biomodification Strategies on Bonding to Pulp Chamber Dentin – An In Vitro Study by Saranya Radhakrishnan, Darshana Devadiga

“…The samples were serially immersed in 5.25% NaOCl for 40 minutes and 17% EDTA for 3 minutes and allocated into three groups: the control group, the group pre-treated with 6.5% grape seed extract (GSE) and the group pre-treated with a 980 nm diode light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (LASER). All the samples were restored with resin composites and subjected to shear bond strength testing using a universal testing machine. …”
