Time-related bond strength of resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement under various light exposure conditions

Conclusion Although LED and PAC showed approximately peak irradiance five times higher than TQH, there is no significant difference in tensile and shear bond strength between TQH and PAC. It appears that LCGIC would have provided greater bond strength under various conditions of LED-10's.
