Abstract: To detect the influences of saliva contamination on the bond strengths of glass ionomer cement (Ketac, 3M), self-adhesive universal resin cement (RelyX, 3M) and self-etching adhesive systems (Contax, DMG). Methods:Artificial saliva was made. Human third molars were collected and 90 test specimens were made and divided into 6 groups according to three different cements and immerged into artificial saliva or not. The microtensile bond strength was measured. Results:In the control and contamination groups, microtensiles of RelyX and Contax cements groups were higher than that of Ketac groups. Microtensiles of 0 min and 3 min groups reduced more obviously than that of 6 min and 10 min which were not significantly different from control groups. Conclusions:Saliva contamination can influence the bond strengths of three cements in the early period of solidification. Bond strengths of glass ionomer cement reduce more than that of composite resin cement.
