objectives: this study aimed to assess the effect of re-etching of desensitized dentin for five and 10 seconds on marginal microleakage of composite restorations. materials and methods: class v cavities (4x2x2mm) were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 64 third molars and randomly divided into four groups of 16. in the control group, single bond (sb) adhesive was applied after etching. in bb+sb...

objectives: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine (chx) application protocol on durability of marginal seal of class v composite restorations. materials and methods: class v cavities (4×2×1.5mm) were prepared in the buccal surfaces of 160 human third molars. the teeth were randomly divided into five groups (n=32) of (g1) chx+rinse+etching, (g2) chx+etching, (g3) etching+chx+r...

An in vitro study was performed to ascertain the marginal seal elemental composition of amalgam restored extracted teeth of known marginal leakage. Occlusal cavities were cut in 400 caries free extracted teeth and left unlined or lined with one of 5 bases. A varnish was applied to half the cavities followed by restoration with a low copper or high copper amalgam to produce 20 restoration combin...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate in vitro the effect of cavity preparation with microburs and diamond-coated ultrasonic tips on the microleakage and marginal fit of six end-root filling materials. STUDY DESIGN. The following materials were assessed: amalgam (Amalcap), zinc oxide eugenol (IRM), glass ionomer (Vitrebond), compomer (Cavalite), mineral particle aggregate (MTA) and composite (Clearfil). Cavit...

X-ray micro-analysis was used to determine the elemental composition of the tooth, amalgam, and base material of ten aged, amalgam-restored, posterior teeth after they had been fractured across the amalgam-tooth interface. Subsequently, replicas were used to remove marginal seal material from each interface for examination by x-ray micro-analysis. The results show that P and Sn were present in ...

OBJECTIVE To assess microleakage in conservative class V cavities prepared with aluminum-oxide air abrasion or turbine and restored with self-etching or etch-and-rinse adhesive systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty premolars were randomly assigned to 4 groups (I and II: air abrasion; III and IV: turbine) and class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces. Conditioning approaches were: g...

The purpose of this research was to study the marginal adaptation of eight calcium silicate-based materials when used to seal large furcal perforations, compared with one resin-modified glass-ionomer cement by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Сonclusion:All tested calcium silicate-based materials showed good marginal adaptation and are suitable for large furcal perforation repair.
