Introduction:The clinical management of non-carious cervical lesions is a challenge concerning restoring procedures because the lesions have non-retentive cavity shape and margins lying on dentin or cementum which are unfavorable for bonding.Objective: To evaluate the clinical performance of two self-adhering flowable composites compared with flowable composite and resin modified glass ionomer in restoration of non-carious cervical lesions for 1 year. Materials and Method:A total of 60 non-carious cervical lesions (15 for each material) were restored with self-adhering resin flowable composites (Vertise TM Flow and Fusio TM Liquid Dentin), flowable composite with ExciTE F dental adhesive system and resin modified glass ionomer. The outer surface of the dentinal wall was roughened with a water-cooled high-speed diamond bur. Occlusal or incisal enamel margins were beveled, and no mechanical retention was performed. The restorations were re-evaluated with the modified United States Public Health Services (USPHS) criteria at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months.Results: After 1 year, 14 of the 15 Vertise Flow and 12 of the 15 Fusio Liquid Dentin restorations were in a clinically unacceptable condition due to retention failure. The success rates of Vertise Flow (6.7%) and Fusio Liquid Dentin (20%) were less when compared to the success rate (80%) for the 2-step etch and rinse/Flowable composite and (60%) for the resin modified glass ionomer restorations (P-value < 0.001). Conclusion:The clinical performance of the self-adhering resin flowable composites showed higher failure rate than other restorative materials after 1 year of clinical use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
