Objective: Using a disinfectant before applying dentin bonding agents can pose a risk of
negatively affecting the bond strength of composite resins. This study was carried out to examine
the effects of Chlorhexidine (CHX) and Munident on the shear bond strength of composite resins
to dentin.
Materials and Methods: A total of 36 permanent teeth were randomly divided into three groups
according to the disinfectant used: Group I: control (no disinfectant); Group II: CHX; and Group
III: Munident. Dentine bonding agent was applied, and resin composite build‑ups were done for
shear bond strength (SBS) testing. The SBS was tested using the Instron Universal Testing
Machine and the results were statistically analysed.
