Effect of restorative timing on shear bond strength of composite resin/calcium silicate-based cements adhesive interfaces.

Our findings suggest that all tested biomaterials present suitable alternatives which allow to perform restorative procedures immediately after pulp capping biomaterial placement (3 or 12 min, depending on the bioactive cement), therefore requiring one single appointment to complete the procedure. Biodentine and TotalFill BC Putty have shown superior shear bond strength results when compared with PCM, within a delayed timeframe (7 days).
