Statement Of Problem: Although they are widely available, there is insufficient information about the capability of self-etching adhesives in sealing the margins of resin composite restorations.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the in vitro microleakage of Class V resin composite restorations placed using a strong pH self-etching adhesive, an intermediate pH self-etching adhesive, and an adhesive with a separate etchant and primer.
Material And Methods: Class V resin composite restorations (n = 8) were placed in prepared cavities in extracted human third molars using 2 self-etching dentin adhesives, Prompt L-Pop (Strong pH) or One-Up Bond F (Intermediate pH), and an adhesive with a separate etchant and primer, ScotchBond Multi-Purpose.
