Comparative evaluation of the effect of cavity disinfectants on the XXXX resistance of primary molars restored with indirect composite inlays: an in vitro study.

@entity1216 @entity174 @entity8830
A study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effect of cavity disinfectants on the @entity174 resistance of primary molars restored with indirect composite inlays. Thirty-six non-carious primary second molars were selected and divided randomly into three groups (n = 12): control group (no disinfectant), @entity1216 group (disinfected with 2% @entity1216 for 40 seconds) and @entity8830 group crowns (disinfected with 2% @entity1216 for 40 seconds). The inlays were fabricated by indirect method using Ceram X nanocomposite on plaster die. All the groups were submitted to compression mechanic test in a Hounsfield universal testing machine at 1 mm/min cross-head speed and the results were calculated in Newtons. Descriptive statistics, independent t test, and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test revealed the mean @entity174 resistance of three groups, i.e., control group, @entity1216 group and @entity8830 group to be 2260.66, 1858.08 and 1310.66, respectively. When intragroup comparisons were made, a significant difference was observed in all the groups (P<0.001). Scheffe's post hoc test revealed that control group had the highest @entity174 resistance, followed by @entity1216 group, and @entity8830 group had the least @entity174 resistance. Each value differed significantly from the other (P<0.05). Cavity disinfectants used in the present study had detrimental effect on the @entity174 resistance of primary molars. Among the disinfectants employed in the present study, @entity1216 showed a better resistance to @entity174 than @entity8830 .
