Zusammenfassung: | Objectives: This study was conducted to measure and compare dentine permeability reduction in Class II preparations, after restoration with resin composite or bonded amalgam, using either a multi-step or one-bottle dental adhesive system.
Methods: An in vitro fluid transport model was used to measure initial dentine permeability in Class II cavities with an intact smear layer in crown segments from extracted human premolars. One week and 3 months after restoration with resin composite or bonded amalgam, using either multi-step or one-bottle dental adhesive system, the measurements were repeated and the reduction in permeability was calculated as a percentage of the initial values. The data were analyzed statistically using a one-way ANOVA and Least Significant Difference tests.
Results: After 1 week the resin composite with one-bottle dental adhesive system provided the highest reduction in dentine permeability, whereas after 3 months the bonded amalgam caused the highest reduction. At both time intervals the resin composite with multi-step adhesive system provided the lowest reduction. (
P=0.036 at 1 week,
P=0.016 at 3 months). After 3-months storage in water a significant increase in dentine permeability reduction was found in the bonded amalgam group only (
P=0.017). The reduction in dentine permeability provided by resin composite with one-bottle dental adhesive system and bonded amalgam in Class II cavities was similar at both time intervals. (
P=0.182 at 1 week,
P=0.750 at 3 months).
Significance: The results of this study indicated that on the basis of reducing dentine permeability in vitro, resin composite restorations with the investigated one-bottle adhesive system was superior to its multi-step equivalent and bonded amalgam can also be preferred in Class II restorations. |
