Effect Of Proanthocyanidin Rich Grape Seed Extract On Dentinbond Strength: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Aim: To appraise the effect of proanthocyanidin rich grape seed extract on the bond strength between the tooth dentin and various restorative material.

Materials and Methods:Database search was done in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Ovid Medline, Elsevier science direct, Wiley online library, Grey literature, Embase. Five in-vitro studies of extracted human teeth were included evaluating the effect of grape seed extract (GSE) proanthocyanidin on bond strength between the dentin and various restorative material. PICO model and PRISMA guidelines was used. Cochrane risk assessment tool was used for bias analysis.

Results: Five studies were reviewed. In four studies, proanthocyanidin rich grape seed extract produced better shear bond strength to the restorative material. One study stated that long term storage decreases the bond strength of the dentin.

Conclusion: This study concludes that the proanthocyanidin rich grape seed extract showed greater shear bond strength when compared to other chemical cross-linkers.
