Laser Etching Effect on Application Mode of Universal Adhesive

March 25, 2021 updated by: A Ruya Yazici, Hacettepe University

Clinical Evaluation of Cervical Composite Restorations Placed Using Universal Adhesive in Different Modes and Different Etching Methods

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.

Study Overview

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Group I
Total-etch mode with 35% phosphoric acid
35% phosphoric acid was applied to enamel and dentin for 10 s, washed and dried for 5 s. The universal adhesive, Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (CBQ) was applied to enamel and dentin surfaces with a single-use applicator, then gently air-dried for 5 s without waiting, and light-cured for 10 s.
Other: Group II
Selective-etch mode with 35% phosphoric acid
35% phosphoric acid was used only on enamel for 10 s, then washed and dried for 5 seconds. Subsequently, the adhesive was applied in a similar manner to the TE-A group.
Other: Group III
Total-etch mode with laser (Er,Cr:YSGG)
the enamel margin and dentin surfaces of lesions were irradiated with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser (2780 nm, Waterlase MD, BioLase Technology, Inc., San Clemente, CA). Then the adhesive was applied in a similar manner to the TE-A group.
Other: Group IV
Selective-etch mode with laser (Er,Cr:YSGG)
The laser system was applied in the same way as described in the TE-L group only on enamel surface. Subsequently, the adhesive was applied in the same way as described in the TE-A group.
Other: Group V
Self-etch mode
Universal adhesive system (CBQ) was applied to enamel and dentin surfaces without any previous etching. Then gently air-dried for 5 s without waiting, and light-cured for 10 s.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Retention,
Time Frame: 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.

From baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Marginal Discoloration
Time Frame: From 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.

From baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Marginal Adaptation
Time Frame: From 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.

From baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Color match
Time Frame: From 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.

From baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Post-op Hypersensitivity
Time Frame: From baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Determination of sensitivity after restorations are placed. Alpha: Absent. Charlie: Present; clinically unacceptable.
From baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated
Secondary Caries
Time Frame: From 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.

From baseline to 2 year the change of restorations was evaluated
