Clinical evaluation of self-etch adhesives in Class V non-carious lesions

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical performance of two self-etching and one total-etch adhesives in Class V non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). METHODS: Two self-etching primers, Clearfil SE Bond and Hybrid Bond, and one total etch adhesive, Admira Bond, were placed in 195 NCCL. Restorations were evaluated at baseline, 1 and 2 years using the USPHS criteria. RESULTS: No restoration was lost after 1 and 2 years for all materials. There was no significant difference between the baseline and 2-year results for Admira Bond and Clearfil SE Bond restorations. In contrast, Hybrid Bond restorations showed significant deterioration in marginal adaptation and cavosurface marginal discoloration after 2 years. Also, there was no significant difference between Admira Bond and Clearfil SE Bond at each recall period.
