Comparisons of fit of CAD-CAM restorations using three imaging surfaces.

One of the factors that influences the overall fit of a Cerec restoration is the thickness of the optical powder. The objective of this study was to compare the measurement of the fit of glass inlays produced with the Cerec instrument after each preparation had been coated, in separate trials, with imaging powder applied with an aerosol; imaging powder applied with air from a dental unit; and a water-soluble paint applied with a brush. Ten inlay preparations were made in extracted teeth. Each preparation was coated with one of the three imaging media and an inlay was made. This was repeated until each preparation received each imaging surface. Each inlay was measured at eight different points by using an image analysis system interfaced to a stereoscopic measuring microscope. The inlays fabricated on the two powder surfaces were not significantly different, but the painted surfaces were found to result in a significantly better-fitting inlay.

Microleakage and thermal properties of hybrid ionomer restoratives.

The objective of this study was to compare the microleakage and thermal properties of two recently introduced hybrid materials to those of a conventional glass-ionomer cement. Class V preparations were prepared at the cementoenamel junctions in freshly extracted bovine incisor and evaluated for microleakage with a 45Ca radioisotope method. Thermal properties were evaluated with thermal mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The degree of microleakage and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the conventional glass-ionomer cement were found to be significantly less than those of either hybrid.

Evaluation of a new dentinal bonding system.

The purpose of this study was to compare the in vitro microleakage of a new dentinal bonding system, not yet released in the United States, to the microleakage of two first-generation bonding agents. Simulated Class V cavities were prepared in freshly extracted bovine incisors and restored with the appropriate composite resin-bonding agent combination. Restorations were thermocycled and examined for microleakage at 24 hours and 60 days. Comparison of the materials revealed no statistically significant difference in microleakage scores at the gingival or incisal margins after 24 hours. However, the first-generation bonding agents exhibited significantly more microleakage at the gingival margin than did the new bonding system after 60 days. No significant increase in microleakage was measured at the incisal margin for any of the materials after 60 days. In contrast, all materials exhibited a significant increase in leakage at the gingival margin after 60 days. No correlation between microleakage and polymerization shrinkage or coefficients of thermal expansion of the composite resins could be established.

Microleakage of Gluma Bond, Scotchbond 2 and a glass ionomer/composite sandwich technique.

Bonding to dentin with long-term success has been a quest of dentistry for some time. Microleakage is a major problem that can lead to staining and discolorization of the restoration and postoperative sensitivity. Some of the newer dentin bonding systems include Gluma Bond and Scotchbond 2. A glass ionomer/composite "sandwich" technique has also been advocated for dentin bonding. Here a glass ionomer is first bonded to the dentin, bonding agent is applied to the glass ionomer and a composite restoration is then placed into the cavity preparation. The purpose of this study was to compare the microleakage of Gluma Bond, Scotchbond 2, the glass ionomer/composite sandwich technique along with a positive and negative control. This was accomplished, in vitro, using extracted human teeth and a Ca45 radioisotope technique. The teeth were examined for microleakage at periods of 1 week, 6 months and 12 months. The results of this study indicate that, in vitro, the glass ionomer sandwich technique does not stop microleakage. The results also indicate that, in vitro, Gluma Bond and especially Scotchbond 2 restorations can resist microleakage for short periods of time. However, at the end of the 12 months, all Gluma Bond and Scotchbond 2 specimens exhibited gross microleakage.

Microleakage of two new dentinal bonding systems.

Class V abrasion and erosion lesions restored with composite resin seem to be more susceptible to microleakage, because the gingival margin is usually placed in cementum and/or dentin. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microleakage, in vitro, of two new dentinal bonding systems along with a positive and negative control. This study was accomplished using extracted human teeth and a calcium-45 radioisotope technique. The teeth were examined for microleakage at periods of 1 week, 6 months, and 1 year. The results at all time intervals indicated that the cavities restored with the new bonding agents and their respective composite resins leaked more than did the negative control, glass-ionomer cement.

Microleakage at the gingival margin of class II composite restorations with glass-ionomer liner.

Microleakage at the gingival margins is a major problem with class II posterior composite restorations. Gingival margins of class II restorations with a glass-ionomer cement liner were evaluated for in vitro microleakage. At the end of 1 year less microleakage occurred at the gingival margin of class II restorations when a glass-ionomer cement was used as a liner.
