Background and objectives: Nanosilver sodium fluoride (NSF) has recently gained popularity in dentistry as an alternative to silver diamine fluoride (SDF) due to its drawbacks of staining the tooth black and possibly causing soft tissue injury, which has been eliminated in NSF due to the nanoparticle size of silver. This study aims to assess the microtensile bond strength of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) with pretreatment of NSF on extracted primary carious teeth.
Materials and methods: Teeth were stored in 10% formalin. The roots were severed, and the pulp chambers were cleaned. The occlusal enamel was ground, reducing the dentin thickness by 1 mm. The specimens were covered with nail varnish, leaving only the area of flat dentin exposed. Caries were induced microbiologically by inoculating Streptococcus mutans. Group I—NSF with GIC restoration, group II—NSF with RMGIC restoration, group III—restoration with GIC, and group IV—restoration with RMGIC. After different surface treatments of the carious dentin were performed, each specimen was placed in the testing jig of a universal testing machine and stressed in tension at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/minute until bond failure was observed. They were air-dried and placed under a scanning electron microscope. The failure modes—adhesive, cohesive, and mixed failure were recorded for statistical evaluation.
Results: Maximum results of microtensile bond strength were seen in the pretreatment group with NSF sealant, followed by RMGIC restoration, and the least results were observed in the conventional GIC restoration group. Of all the types of failures in our study, adhesive was the maximum type.
Interpretation and conclusion: The microtensile bond strength of pretreatment with NSF showed higher values when compared to conventional restorations of GIC and RMGIC. The failure modes in each group were not significantly varied. Pretreatment with NSF will prevent secondary caries formation, and the restorations will also be stronger.
