The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on shear bond strength of changing the concentration of the enamel conditioner used with resin-reinforced glass ionomer. Shear bond strength was measured within 30 minutes after bonding. Forty-six freshly extracted human molars were collected and stored in a solution of 0. 1% (weight/volume) thymol. The teeth were cleaned and polished, then randomly separated into 2 groups. In group I, enamel was conditioned with a 10% polyacrylic acid solution before bonding. In group II, the enamel was conditioned with a 20% polyacrylic acid solution. The results of t test comparisons of the 2 experimental groups (t = 4.9) indicate significant differences (P =.001). Shear bond strength was significantly greater in the group conditioned with the 20% polyacrylic acid concentration (X = 3.3 +/- 2.6 MPa) than in the group conditioned with the 10% concentration (X = 0.4 +/- 1.0 MPa). The present findings indicated that the lower initial shear bond strength of resin-reinforced glass ionomer adhesive can be improved more than 8-fold when the concentration of the polyacrylic acid enamel conditioner is increased from 10% to 20%. The clinician needs to take these properties into consideration when ligating the initial archwires.
