Fig. 1From: The effect of the maturation time of calcium silicate-based cement (Biodentine™) on resin bonding: an in vitro studySchematic illustration of the shear bond test setup. A resin-based composite (RC) cylinder is bonded on Biodentine™ (BD) or glass ionomer cement (GIC) contained in a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tube. A load is applied perpendicularly at the base of the RC cylinder using a knife-edge blade at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min until fracture occursBack to article page
