Effect of polydopamine on bonding characteristics and color stability of blood contaminated Biodentine to composite.

Frontiers in dental medicine · Alam I, Kudva AR, Shetty SV, Kukkila J · 2026-09-11

Researchers tested whether polydopamine pretreatment improved bonding of blood-contaminated Biodentine to composite resin. Polydopamine enhanced bond strength in contaminated specimens, eliminating the bond-weakening effect of blood, though all specimens showed colour changes beyond clinical acceptance.
