Effects of cervical restorations on the periodontal tissues: 5-year follow-up results of a randomized clinical trial.

Objective: This study evaluated the effect of resin composite restorations of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) on the occurrence/progression of gingival recession (GR), considering different tooth isolation techniques.

Methods: A randomized controlled split-mouth and blinded trial was carried out. Patients (n = 38) with at least two NCCLs were included.

Bond Stability of Universal Adhesives Applied To Dentin Using Etch-And-Rinse or Self-Etch Strategies.

This study evaluated the immediate and 6-month dentin bond strength of universal adhesives used in etch-and-rinse or self-etch bonding strategies. The adhesives tested were Ambar Universal, G-Bond, Single Bond Universal, Tetric N-Bond Universal, and Ybond Universal. Gold standard adhesives (Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus and Clearfil SE Bond) were controls.

Chemical cleaning agents and bonding to glass-fiber posts.

The influence of chemical cleaning agents on the bond strength between resin cement and glass-fiber posts was investigated. The treatments included 10% hydrofluoric acid, 35% phosphoric acid, 50% hydrogen peroxide, acetone, dichloromethane, ethanol, isopropanol, and tetrahydrofuran. Flat glass-fiber epoxy substrates were exposed to the cleaners for 60 s.

Rehabilitation to crown-root fracture by fragment reattachment with resin-modified glass ionomer cement and composite resin restoration.

Tooth fragment reattachment in cases of enamel/dentin fracture is based on adhesive protocols and is indicated because of its technique simplicity. Complex cases of root fracture or extensive coronal damage demand the integration of biological properties with the mechanical characteristics of the restorative materials. This paper is a report from one patient with a favourable result that addresses the clinical procedures involved in the association of resin-modified glass ionomer cement and composite resin for cases of coronal fracture of anterior teeth with invasion of the periodontal biological space and/or proximity with the pulp tissue.
