AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared 5th and 7th generation bonding agents to evaluate their effectiveness in preventing microleakage from a fluoride sealant in 40 extracted human premolar teeth.
- Teeth were divided into two groups: one used a 5th generation bonding agent, while the other used a 7th generation agent, both treated with the same sealant.
- Results indicated that the 5th generation agent had more microleakage, but the difference was not statistically significant; the 7th generation agent showed less microleakage and was easier to apply.
Article Abstract
The evaluation of 5th and 7th generation bonding agents on the extent of micro leakage from sealant such as fluoride in forty extracted human premolar teeth is of interest to dentists. 40 extracted teeth satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups. Group I utilized a bonding agent from the fifth generation, whereas Group II employed a bonding agent from the seventh generation, both treated with Helioseal F Plus sealant. Following a 24-hour period of cultivation at a temperature of 37°C and subjecting the sample to 100 cycles of temperature fluctuation varying in temperature from 5°C to 55°C, the samples were submerged in a 0.2% methylene blue dye mixture for duration of 24 hours and examined under a microscope. Result showed that fifth-generation agent mean microleakage was greater, but not statistically significant. The seventh-generation agent demonstrated minimal microleakage with simpler application.
