ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare the marginal sealing and internal adaptation obtained in direct restorations when using a conventional technique involving nano-filled resin vs. ultrasonic placement using low-polymerization shrinkage resins, and four different types of adhesives in class V preparations on extracted teeth. Material and methods: An experimental, comparative, analytical study was conducted on 32 extracted teeth with class V preparation (2 mm occlusogingival, 2 mm mesiodistal, and 2 mm depth). These were divided into 2 groups: one in which the teeth were restored using a conventional technique with nano-filled resin, and the other, in which an ultrasonic technique using a low-shrinkage resin was employed. In turn, each group was subdivided into 4 groups, in which different KerrTM adhesives were used (OptiBond All-In One, OptiBond Solo Plus, OptiBond FL, and OptiBond XTR). The teeth were cut and subjected to SEM analysis using a FEI Quanta 200 Scanning Electron Microscope. The information obtained was analyzed using SPSS 17.0 software and the study groups compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in marginal sealing and internal adaptation, with the ultrasound technique using a low-polymerization shrinkage resin (p ‹ 0.05) proving to be superior. As regards the type of adhesive used, significant differences were found using OptiBond FLTM, which showed better interface (p ‹ 0.05). Conclusions: The ultrasonic technique pre sented better marginal sealing and internal adaptation, with OptiBond FLTM providing the best adaptation.REFERENCES
