Brief summary

The purpose of this prospective clinical trial will be to evaluate the efficacy of an FDA approved and marketed universal dental adhesive formulation in adult noncarious cervical lesions using self-etch and selective etch approaches. The hypothesis is that using a selective enamel etch with this universal adhesive will enhance the restoration margin performance.

Detailed description

The purpose of this prospective clinical trial will be to evaluate the efficacy of a newly formulated universal dental adhesive formulation in adult noncarious cervical lesions using self-etch and selective etch approaches. Thirty-three patients with at least two non-carious cervical lesions will receive one restoration utilizing the self-etch universal adhesive with no separate enamel etching and another restoration utilizing the universal adhesive and a a selective etch protocol in which in which enamel is etched with 37% phosphoric acid. After a screening/baseline visit at which the restorative procedures listed above will conducted, the patient will be seen at recall visits after approximately 6, 12 and 24 months to observe sensitivity, retention, marginal discoloration and marginal adaptation.

Interventions

PROCEDURESelf etch enamel etching

The adhesive will be applied according to manufacturer's instructions. If the lesion is greater than 2 mm in any dimension, incremental placement of Tetric EvoCeram composite (Ivoclar Vivadent) will occur with the first increment being placed against enamel.

PROCEDUREselective etch protocol

Total Etch (37% phosphoric acid; Ivoclar) will be placed on the enamel margin with no intentional placement on the dentin within the lesion. The adhesive will then be applied as instructed by the manufacturer. Tetric EvoCeram composite will be placed, light-cured, finished, and polished in the same manner as for the self-etch group.

the universal adhesive, Adhese Universal , will be applied to the selected tooth following manufacturer instructions

Inclusion criteria

* 1.1. Inclusion criteria 1. Willing to provide written consent and authorization for participation. 2. Be between 20 and 75 years of age at the time of recruitment 3. Have at least two non-carious cervical lesions present in canine or premolar teeth; 4.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Retention of Restorations6, 12, 24 monthsThe primary outcome measure will be restoration retention. In these non-retentive dental lesions, the adhesive will be the only mode of retention. Failure of the adhesive would result in loss of the restoration.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Restoration Margins Marked as Stained or Discolored6, 12, 24 monthsThe secondary outcome measure was the presence of discoloration of restoration margins as determined by blinded evaluators.
