Abstract This study measured the shear bond strength of conventional glass ionomer cements (GICs; Ketac Molar Easymix and Fuji IX) bonded Biodentin that had been allowed to set for 2 different time intervals. Forty-eight Biodentin specimens were prepared; half were stored for 12 minutes, and the remaining 24 specimens were stored for 48hours at 37 °C and 100% humidity. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups of 12 specimens, and each GIC was layered on each of the Biodentin preparations. The
