Abstract

The objective of the study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of alpha-cyanoacry late in bonding between stainless steel wire and teeth, compared to the shear bond strength of flowable resin composite in bonding between stainless steel wire and teeth. The samples consisted of 60 cases, which were divided into 2 groups. Each sample contained two teeth splinted together with different bonding materials. Group 1 used flowable resin composite and stainless steel wire splinting. Group 2 used alpha-cyanoacrylate medical adhesive and stainless steel wire splinting. Both groups underwent thermocycling before testing. The shear bond strength was tested and measured by universal testing machine. The data were analyzed using two sample t-test analysis. The mean shear bond strength was 15.1 N in the alpha-cyanoacrylate group and 80.4 N in the flowable resin composite group. The mean shear bond strength in the alpha-cyanoacrylate group was significantly lower than those of the flowable resin composite group (p < 0.05). For conclusion,the shear bond strength of alpha-cyanoacrylate in bonding between stainless steel wire and teeth is lower than those of the flowable resin composite.
