Procedure: Selective-etch mode with 35% phosphoric acid (K-ETCHANT) (SE-A group)
Procedure: Total-etch mode with 35% phosphoric acid (K-ETCHANT) (TE-A group)
Procedure: Self-etch mode Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (Kuraray, Japan) (SE group)
Registration Number
NCT04814836
Lead Sponsor
Hacettepe University
Brief Summary

To evaluate the clinical performance of the restorations by applying the universal adhesive in different modes under the influence of different surface treatments, with Erbium Chromium:Yttrium-Scandium-Gallium-Garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser and acid etching in non-carious cervical lesions.

Detailed Description

Forty-one patients (at least five non-carious cervical lesions) have participated in this study. The non-carious cervical lesions in each patient were divided into five groups (total-etch mode with phosphoric acid, selective-etch mode with phosphoric acid, total-etch mode with laser, selective-etch mode with laser and self-etch mode) according to different modes and application methods of universal adhesive (Clearfil Universal Bond Quick, Kuraray). Lesions were restored with a resin composite, Clearfil Majesty ES-2 (Kuraray). All restorative procedures were performed by a single operator. Restorations were evaluated at one week (baseline), at 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-month according to modified USPHS criteria (retention, marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, color match, postoperative sensitivity, and secondary caries) by two experienced and calibrated investigators.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Retention,From baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated

The retention criterion determines how long a restorative material functions in the oral environment, it is the most important criterion that shows the success of the material.

Alpha: The restoration is present. Charlie: The restoration is absent.

Marginal AdaptationFrom baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated

Marginal adaptation is achieved by fully ensuring the integrity of the tooth-restoration joint border.

Alpha: Restoration is closely adapted to the tooth. Bravo: Visible evidence of a crevice along the margin, dentin not exposed, clinically acceptable.

Charlie: Explorer penetrates into crevice, dentin is exposed; clinically unacceptable.

Marginal DiscolorationFrom baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated

The marginal discoloration that occur at the edge staining restoration boundaries are generally thought to be due to microleakage.

Alpha: No discoloration at margins. Bravo: Shallow discoloration, clinically acceptable. Charlie: Deep discoloration clinically unacceptable.

Color matchFrom baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated

Color match is the evaluation of the restoration according to the darkening or lightening of the color, taking into account the tooth tissue surrounding restoration.

Alpha:Matches tooth. Bravo: Acceptable mismatch. Charlie:Unacceptable mismatch.

Post-op HypersensitivityFrom baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated

Determination of sensitivity after restorations are placed. Alpha: Absent. Charlie: Present; clinically unacceptable.

Secondary CariesFrom baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated

Secondary caries is the progression of caries in the tooth tissue adjacent to the restorations. Caries formation means restoration failure.

Alpha: Absent. Charlie: Present; clinically unacceptable.
