ABSTRACTObjectives: The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the marginal sealing ability of an ormocer in comparison with a hybrid composite when using thermocycling and load cycling procedures together in the study design.Methods: Modified proximal Class II cavities were prepared on the mesial and distal surfaces of twenty-two human premolars. Each tooth was restored with Admira and contralaterally with TPH Spectrum. Half of all of the teeth were subjected to thermo-mechanical load cycling. After dye penetration, longitudinal sections in mesio-distal direction were prepared and examined under a stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed with Mann Whitney U test.Results: The results showed that the thermo-mechanical load cycling caused a statistically significant increase in gingival microleakage when compared with the non-thermocycled and nonloaded restorations for both the materials Admira (P=0.006) and TPH Spectrum (P=0.023).Conclusions: Simultaneous load cycling and thermocycling are decisive factors in the in vitro assessment of gingival microleakage, which still remains to be a clinical problem even with the ormocer system Admira.

This study evaluated, in vitro, marginal microleakage in class II restorations confected with the glass ionomer cement Vitremer and with the composite resins Ariston pHc and P-60. The aims of the study were to assess the effect of thermocycling on those materials and to evaluate two methods utilized in the analysis of dye penetration. Sixty premolars divided in three groups were utilized; the teeth had proximal cavities whose cervical walls were located 1 mm below the cementoenamel junction. Half of the test specimens from each group underwent thermocycling; the other half remained in deionized water, at 37ºC. The specimens were immersed, for 24 hours, in a basic 0.5% fuchsin solution at 37ºC. For the analysis of microleakage, the specimens were sectioned in a mesio-distal direction, and the observation was carried out with the software Imagetools. The results were evaluated through the 2-way ANOVA and through the Tukey’s test. All groups presented marginal microleakage. The smallest values were obtained with Vitremer, followed by those obtained with the composite resins P-60 and Ariston pHc. There was no statistically significant difference caused by thermocycling, and the method of maximum infiltration was the best for detecting the extension of microleakage.

Introduction: Evaluation of microleakage is important for assessing the success of new restorative materials and methods. The aim of this study was to assess the microleakage of class II restorations with different flowable composites as liners and two different polymerization techniques classic and soft start. Materials and Methods: 40 extracted human premolars teeth with class II cavity preparation medial and distal (80 cavities) were divided into four groups: 1.Vertise Flow (VF)+micro hybrid composite Herculite 2.Surefil SDR Flow (SDRF)+micro-hybrid composite Herculite 3.Tetric Flow (TF)+micro-hybrid composite Herculite 4.control group micro-hybrid composite Herculite. Mesial cavities are polymerized with classic and distal cavity with soft start technique of polymerization. After that, the samples were immersed in 0.5% AgNO3 solution and sectioned into the mesiodistal direction. Using a stereomicroscope (Nikon - Japan), with a magnification of 40x, the gingival microleakage of cavities was examined. Data were analyzed using Fisher's and Student's tests. Results: After using the classical polymerization technique, all three used flowable composites VF+Herculite, SDRF+Herculite, TF+Herculite showed less gingival microleakage than the control group. This difference was statistically significant. After the application of the soft-start technique of polymerization, VF+Herculite and SDRF+Hercules showed a statistically significant reduction in gingival microleakage, while TF+Herculite showed a comparable result with control group, without a statistically significant difference. There was no statistically significant difference between classical and soft start polymerization techniques. Conclusion: Flowable composites in this study have reduced gingival microleakage and can be used as liners in the restoration of II class cavities.

ABSTRACT Introduction This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of different monomer systems on microleakage in class II composite open sandwich restorations with and without a separating agent placed between the nanofilled resin modified glass ionomer and the resin. Materials and methods Class II cavity preparations were prepared in maxillary premolars (n = 240) and the cervical limit of the proximal box was below the cementoenamel junction. Group 1 was restored with silorane-based composite and group II was restored with methacrylate-based composite. All specimens were subjected to thermocycling and examined for microleakage after in 50% silver nitrate solution. The recorded results of dye penetration were statistically analyzed using Chisquare test. Results Methacrylate-based composite (Filtek Z 350, 3M, St Paul, MN, USA) exhibited the highest dye penetration and silorane-based composite (Filtek P90 Low Shrink Posterior Restorative, 3M, St Paul, MN, USA) showed the lowest dye penetration among the restorative materials. However, specimens with separating agent showed almost no leakage between the RMGIC and tooth interface. Conclusion Forces of polymerization shrinkage are stronger than the bond between glass ionomer cement and tooth interface and the use of silorane technology in open sandwich restoration will decrease microleakage and improve clinical performance.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of mechanical load cycling (MLC), which simulated mastication, alone or combined with thermal cycling (TC), on the resin shear bond strength (SBS) to zirconia. Two resin cements (Panavia F2.0 and RelyX U200) were bonded (bonding area: 2.38 mm) to air-abraded zirconia (Everest ZS-Ronde). The specimens were subjected to SBS test before and after TC (5000 cycles), MLC (5000 cycles in 37 °C water), TC/MLC, or MLC/TC aging (n = 15). Before SBS test, the mechanical and physical properties of the two resin cements were studied (n = 5). For both resins, unlike TC (p > 0.05), the three MLC-containing aging conditions significantly decreased the SBS values when compared to the non-aged condition (p < 0.05). In the case of MLC-only aging, RelyX U200, with significantly higher hydrophobicity (p = 0.004), showed a significantly higher SBS value than Panavia F2.0 (p = 0.035). The MLC aging-containing groups showed increased occurrence of mixed failure. The application of MLC combined with TC may more closely simulate intraoral conditions.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the apical seal obtained with four root canal sealers AH 26, Sealapex, Endoflas FS and AH Plus, with lateral condensation. Materials and methods Sixty root canals were prepared using the step-back technique. The specimens were divided into four experimental groups of 12 teeth and two control groups of 12 teeth. The experimental groups were obturated by laterally condensed gutta-percha with one of the tested sealers and control groups were obturated without any sealer. Methylene blue dye penetration with centrifuging method was used to evaluate the apical sealing ability. The quantitative apical leakage of each specimen was measured after 2 weeks. Results The results showed no significant differences between all groups except between AH Plus and Endoflas FS (<0.05). AH Plus showed significantly less leakage than Endoflas FS. Conclusion AH Plus showed the least leakage compared to AH 26, Sealapex and Endoflas FS. How to cite this article Joseph R, Singh S.

Abstract The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the apical and coronal microleakage of a packable composite material compacted by either hand or ultrasonic condensers when placed in post spaces. Fortytwo extracted anterior teeth were used. After conventional obturation of the root canals, parallel post spaces 5 mm in depth and 2 mm in diameter were prepared using Gates Glidden and diamond burs. A primer and a dentin bonding agent (Prime & Bond NT) was applied to the etched surface for 30 seconds and light polymerized for 40 seconds. Surefil packable composite resin was inserted in four equal increments and each polymerized for 40 seconds. Half of the specimens were compacted with an ultrasonic tip and the other half with a mechanical hand compactor. After immersion in the dye, the teeth were sectioned longitudinally and dye penetration was evaluated using a stereomicroscope and microleakage recorded in mm. A One-Way Analysis of Variance indicated the two condensing methods were not statistically different (p>0.05). When microleakage was compared within groups, there was also no statistical difference between coronal or apical microleakage (p>0.05). In an in vitro environment, ultrasonic condensers do not offer any advantage over hand condensers. Both the coronal and apical portions of the root had microleakage indicating that regardless of the condensation method and the use of a packable composite, there is still microleakage that could potentially create further clinical problems.

ABSTRACT Aim Aim of this study was to compare class II composite restoration using flowable composites as lining with various thickness and curing techniques by evaluating cervical marginal microleakage. Materials and methods Fifty intact molars, each prepared with two box-only class II cavities, were randomly divided into five groups: Group I, P60 filling alone; group II, ultrathin flowable composite lining (0.5-1mm) cocured with overlying composite; group III, thin lining (1-1.5) cocured with overlying composite; group IV, ultrathin lining (0.5-1 mm) precured and group V, thin lining (1-1.5) precured. The teeth were then thermocycled for 1500 cycles (between 5 and 60 °C) and immersed in dye for 24 hours. Cervical microleakage was measured as the extent of dye penetration. Results Cocured specimens (groups II and III) showed least microleakage and control specimens (group I) showed maximum microleakage. On comparison of curing techniques, cocured specimens (groups II and III) showed less microleakage than precured (groups IV and V). On comparison of lining thickness and type of curing, group IV showed less microleakage than group V. Groups II and III were statistically not significant. Conclusion It was concluded from the results that ultrathin cocured flowable composite lining specimens improved the marginal sealing with decreased microleakage. Clinical significance In this study, the application of additional flowable composite lining with various thicknesses presented different influences in marginal quality of class II box only composite restorations. A new technique applying an ultrathin flowable composite lining with cocuring technique improved the marginal sealing with decreased microleakage. Restorations with thin lining presented reduced marginal integrity after thermocycling. How to cite this article Reddy SN, Jayashankar DN, Nainan M, Shivanna V.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the sealing of cavities of dentinal occlusal caries lesions, reproduced in vitro, with flow resin compared to cavity restorations presenting healthy dentin using microhybrid composite resin. Methods: The sample consisted of 27 healthy deciduous molars where cavities of approximately 2 mm in the fossa region were performed and occlusal cleft of each tooth were sealed, impermeabilization was performed and the sample was randomly divided into 2 groups: group I underwent cariogenic challenge and occlusal sealing with resin flow. The teeth of group II were restored with microhybrid composite resin. The teeth were immersed in 5% methylene blue for 8 hours at 37° C and washed until all the dye was removed from the surface. The teeth were sectioned in the mesio-distal direction. The penetration of the dye was evaluated: 0- no penetration; 1- dye penetration up to 1/3 of the restoration; 2- dye penetration up to 2/3 of the restoration depth; 3 - penetration of dye into the pulp wall. The results were analyzed by the Biostat 4.0 program. Descriptive analysis and the mode among the examiners submitted to the Mann-Whitney test. Results: There was no significant difference in microleakage between restoration performed in healthy dentin with microhybrid composite resin or maintenance of infected dentin in primary teeth sealed with resin flow (p = 0.6035). Conclusion: It was concluded that the marginal infiltration of primary molars sealed with microhybrid composite resin and resin flow was not influenced by the removal -or not -of the carious tissue or the material used.
