This study compared the in vitro shear bond strength of an autopolymerizing composite resin system (CR) (Ti-Core) with two third-generation dentinal bonding agents (DBA) (Tenure and Scotchbond 2) to glass ionomer cements (GIC) (Ketac-Silver, GC Miracle Mix, and Ketac-Cem). The experiment was divided in five groups. The shear bond strengths were evaluated on a universal testing apparatus at three different intervals; 15 minutes, 24 hours, and 7 days. Statistically, (two-way analysis of variance), the shear bond strengths from the greatest to least were: Ti-Core CR with Tenure DBA > Ti-Core CR with Scotchbond 2 DBA > Ketac-Silver GIC, GC Miracle Mix GIC > Ketac-Cem GIC. There were no differences in shear bond strengths according to time, and no interactions between groups and time. The shear bond strengths for Tenure DBA with Ti-Core CR were two and a half to three times greater than the silver-filled glass ionomers, Ketac-Silver GIC and GC Miracle Mix GIC. Tenure DBA with Ti-Core CR also had consistently greater shear bond strengths than Scotchbond 2 DBA with Ti-Core CR, and this trend is in agreement with similar research.
