Clinical evaluation of an adhesive used as a fissure sealant.

PURPOSE: To compare the retention of a multi-use bonding agent (OptiBond) to a conventional sealant (Delton) used as pit and fissure sealants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An informed consent was obtained from 38 subjects aged 11-17 yrs. Delton, a self-cured sealant, was applied to 86 teeth, and OptiBond, a dual-cure glass filled adhesive, was applied to 85 teeth, under cotton roll isolation and saliva ejector. Each subject received both sealing materials, randomly assigned to the sides of the mouth. The sealed teeth were followed up to 30 months. Clinical evaluation was performed by two examiners and the retention was classified as failure or success. RESULTS: Statistical analysis based on a stratified Cox proportional hazards regression model indicated that OptiBond had better clinical performance than Delton (P < 0.001).

One-year clinical evaluation of posterior packable resin composite restorations.

This study evaluated the clinical performance of four packable resin composite restorative materials in posterior teeth (Class I and II) compared with one hybrid composite after one year. Eighty-four restorations were placed in 16 patients. Each patient received at least five restorations. The tested materials were: (1) Solitaire + Solid Bond; (2) ALERT + Bond-1; (3) Surefil + Prime & Bond NT (4) Filtek P60 + Single Bond and; (5) TPH Spectrum + Prime & Bond 2.1. All restorations were made using rubber dam isolation, and the cavity design was restricted to the elimination of carious tissue. Deeper cavities were covered with calcium hydroxide and/or glass ionomer cement. In shallow and medium cavities, no protection was performed except for the respective adhesive system used in each group. Each adhesive system and resin composite was placed according to the manufacturer's instructions. One week later, the restorations were finished/polished and evaluated according to the USPHS modified criteria. All patients attended the one-year recall, and the 84 restorations were evaluated at that time based on the same evaluation criteria. The scores were submitted to statistical analysis (Chi-square test, p<0.05). Solitaire and TPH showed some fractures at marginal ridges. Solitaire, ALERT and TPH showed some concerns related to color match and surface texture. Surefil and Filtek P60 showed an excellent clinical performance after one year.
