One-year clinical results of restorations using a novel self-adhesive resin-based bulk-fill restorative

Abstract

This prospective study assessed the dual-curing self-adhesive bulk-fill restorative Surefil one. The restorations were placed and reviewed by dental practitioners who are members of a practice-based research network in the United States. Seven practitioners filled 60 cavities (20 class I, 19 class II and 21 class V) in 41 patients with Surefil one without adhesive, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The restorations were evaluated using modified USPHS criteria at baseline, 3 months, and 1 year. Patients were also contacted to report postoperative hypersensitivity one to four weeks after placement. The only patient that showed moderate hypersensitivity after 1 year had previously reported symptoms that were unlikely associated to the class I molar restoration. One class II restoration in a fractured maxillary molar was partially lost. The remaining restorations were found to be in clinically acceptable condition resulting in an annual failure rate of 2%. Color match showed the lowest number of acceptable scores (88%) revealing significant changes over time (P = 0.0002). No significant differences were found for the other criteria (P > 0.05). The novel self-adhesive bulk-fill restorative showed clinically acceptable results in stress-bearing class I and II as well as non-retentive class V cavities at 1-year recall.

Effect of Different Adhesive Strategies on the Microshear Bond Strength of Calcium-Silicate-Based Materials

“…51,52 There are also newly introduced self-adhesive bulkfill composites that can eliminate the need for an intermediate material and can be used as a one-piece restoration alternative. 53,54 In another recent study, researchers found that acid etching significantly increased SARC bond strength at different time intervals, whereas using a self-etch adhesive decreased it. 49 Although the RMGIC used in this study did not require acid etching according to the manufacturer's recommendations, acid etching was applied to one of the RMGIC groups, which resulted in increased μSBS values.…”

Biological evaluation of Partial caries removal in class II resin composite restorations with two different clinical endpoints of excavation: A 12-month clinical study

“…This might need long established clinical experiences (3,15) and a variety of complex clinical cases in educational and training programs of undergraduates and junior clinicians. Post restoration hypersensitivity and tooth vitality have been listed among the FDI biological properties of ranking restorations (16,17) . Therefore, the current study has used those two parameters for assessing the biological reliability of partial caries removal procedure.…”

Cytotoxic Evaluation of the New Composite Resin through an Artificial Pulp Chamber

“…There are still few studies regarding the use and real effectiveness of Surefil One. An annual clinical study by Rathke et al of 60 reconstructions in 41 patients reported encouraging data [ 36 ]. The reconstructions were evaluated at 3 months and 1 year.…”
