Objectives. To compare the polymerization contraction stress of resin cements in dual-cure and self-cure modes, and verify its effect on microleakage and gap formation in class I cavities restored with porcelain inlays.
Methods. Dual-cure cements (Calibra, Choice and RelyX ARC) were monitored for contraction stress during 30 min in the tensilometer, in the presence or absence of photo-activation. Microleakage was evaluated in porcelain inlays bonded to cavities prepared in bovine incisors, combining the same adhesive (One-Step) with each of the cements in both activation modes. Epoxy replicas of the sectioned specimens were analyzed in the SEM to determine the percentage of discontinuous margins.
Results. The stress developed in dual-cure mode was higher than in self-cure mode for all cements. In self-cure mode, no significant difference in stress was found among materials. Choice and RelyX ARC showed higher microleakage in dual-cure mode than in self-cure mode. Calibra did not show a significant difference in microleakage between activation modes. Contraction gap results showed wide variations, and no significant differences were detected among the groups. Gaps occurred more often in dentin, with an overall average of 22±17.5%.
Conclusions. The higher stress generated in dual-cure cements subjected to photo-activation may lead to higher marginal leakage. In the confinement condition represented by the class I inlay, even the lower contraction stress of the cements in self-cure mode had enough magnitude to disrupt the bonding to dentin. 相似文献
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of operator skill on microleakage in class V restorations using simplified bonding systems. METHODS: Two cavities were carried out on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 50 human bicuspid teeth. The teeth were randomly assigned to two groups according to the operator's skill: student group and expert group. The two cavities of each tooth were randomly treated with Adper Scotchbond 1 XT (total-etch adhesive) and Adper Prompt L-Pop (self-etch adhesive). All cavities were restored with a 0.2mm thick layer of flowable composite (Filtek flow) followed by one bulk increment of resin composite (Filtek Supreme XT). Specimens were thermocycled, immersed in 2% methylene blue and sectioned in a bucco-lingual plane. They were then examined under a stereomicroscope and scored according to microleakage. The data was subjected to a multilevel statistical model. RESULTS: At the dentine margin the microleakage resulting from both the self-etch adhesive and the total-etch one was similar in the student and in the expert groups. The interaction term skill x adhesive was not statistically significant (p=0.4156). At the enamel margin the self-etch adhesive microleakage within the student group resulted lower than that within the expert group. On the other hand, the total-etch adhesive microleakage within the expert group resulted lower than that within the student group. The interaction term skill x adhesive was statistically significant (p=0.0037). CONCLUSIONS: Both the adhesives used were sensitive to operator skill in obtaining a reliable seal with the enamel. On the dentine, both adhesives demonstrated little sensitivity to operator skill. 相似文献
To evaluate the gingival marginal seal in class II composite restorations using
different restorative techniques.
Material and Methods
Class II box cavities were prepared in both proximal faces of 32 sound human third
molars with gingival margins located in either enamel or dentin/cementum.
Restorations were performed as follows: G1 (control): composite, conventional
light curing technique; G2: composite, soft-start technique; G3: amalgam/composite
association (amalcomp); and G4: resin-modified glass ionomer cement/ composite,
open sandwich technique. The restored specimens were thermocycled. Epoxy resin
replicas were made and coated for scanning electron microscopy examination. For
microleakage evaluation, teeth were coated with nail polish and immersed in dye
solution. Teeth were cut in 3 slices and dye penetration was recorded (mm),
digitized and analyzed with Image Tool software. Microleakage data were analyzed
statistically by non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests.
Results
Leakage in enamel was lower than in dentin (p<0.001). G2 exhibited the lowest
leakage values (p<0.05) in enamel margins, with no differences between the
other groups. In dentin margins, groups G1 and G2 had similar behavior and both
showed less leakage (p<0.05) than groups G3 and G4. SEM micrographs revealed
different marginal adaptation patterns for the different techniques and for the
different substrates.
Conclusion
The soft-start technique showed no leakage in enamel margins and produced similar
values to those of the conventional (control) technique for dentin margins. 相似文献
PurposeThis study compared microleakage of different resin based composite (RBC) materials bonded to dentin, after chlorhexidine (CHX) application, by different adhesion protocols of a universal adhesive system.MethodsClass V cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 40 premolar teeth. The “etch-and-rinse” technique of a universal bond adhesive system (Single Bond Universal Adhesive) was used on buccal preparations, while the “self-etch” protocol was used on the lingual surfaces. Two RBCs, one bulk fill (Filtek Bulk Fill [FBF]) and one conventional (Filtek Z350 XT [Z350XT]), were used. Teeth were divided into two groups of 20 teeth each, 10 per each RBC (n = 10): (1) control; and (2) pretreatment with 2% CHX. For FBF groups, teeth were restored with a single increment; however, for Z350XT, a layering technique was used. Teeth were aged by thermo-cycling and prepared for microleakage testing. Dye penetration was evaluated and scored from 0 to 4. Data were analyzed at a significance level of P < 0.05.ResultsThe highest microleakage mean scores were found in the control group of the etched margins for both RBCs (2.80 ± 1.033 FBF and 2.10 ± 1.370 Z350XT). The CHX-pretreated group showed significantly lower microleakage than the control for FBF only (P = 0.008). No significant difference was found between groups for the “self-etch” protocol (χ2 = 0.884, P = 0.08). No significant differences were found between FBF and Z350XT in all study groups (P > 0.2).ConclusionsWhen the “self-etch” protocol of the universal adhesive system was used, dentin microleakage was not affected by CHX-pretreatment when teeth were restored with bulk fill or conventional RBCs. In the “etch-and-rinse” protocol, CHX application improved the marginal seal before restoration with bulk fill material. However, in the absence of CHX, the “etch-and-rinse” protocol negatively affected marginal integrity. 相似文献
