Ciass lonomer cement is considered to be a recent material used for restoring teeth. It was launched on the market since 1971. Studies show that 86.4% of dentists use this material and also 71 % of dentists use it only for cementing restorations and crowns for its chemicaly bonding properties. In this paper, the adhesive properties were tested in two kinds of extracted human teeth. First group, recently extracted teeth well preserved in saline and the second group, teeth extracted and preserved in formaline for many years. There was no significant difference in the adhesion between the two groups. The Japanese Fuji showed more adhesion to the recently extracted teeth.
