Objective: The aim of this research was to assess the effect of incorporating zein-coated magnesium oxide (zMgO) nanofillers to resin-based composite on the internal adaptation of the restorations using cross-polarisation optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT).

Methods: Thirty noncarious human molar teeth were used. Class V cavities (3 × 5 mm) were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of each tooth. Clearfil SE Bond 2 was applied to all the cavities and then the teeth were divided into 3 groups (n = 10) as follows: group 1-restored with N-Flow composite; group 2 and group 3-restored with N-Flow composite mixed with different zMgO nanoparticle concentrations (0.3% and 0.5% by weight, respectively) and then light cured using an LED curing device. Specimens were examined for interfacial adaptation examination under CP-OCT. Characterisation of the dental composite incorporating zMgO was done by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Results were analysed with Kruskall-Wallis test followed by Mann-Whitney U test, at a significance level of P < .05.

Results: XRD spectra exhibited the sharp peaks of zMgO in the composite enhanced with zMgO nanoparticles. FESEM analysis showed a uniform distribution of the zMgO nanoparticles in the composite and FTIR illustrated no change in the spectra. The gap percentage along the cavity floor was significantly lower in groups 2 and 3 in comparison to group 1 (P < .05). Also there was a significant difference in gap percentages between groups 2 and 3 (P < .05), with group 3 showing the lowest gap percentage.

Conclusions: The incorporation of 0.3% and 0.5% zMgO nanoparticles in flowable composite assists in improving the internal adaptation of the composite to the tooth surface.
