Evaluation of Nanoleakage Depth and Pattern of Cervical Restorations Bonded with Different Adhesive Systems

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate nanoleakage depth and pattern of cervical restorations bonded with different adhesive systems.

Materials and methods: Thirty-six extracted human premolar teeth were used for the study and grouped according to different bonding agents.Group I: fifth generation dentin bonding agent-ONE COAT SL.Group II: sixth generation dentin bonding agent-PARABOND.Group III: seventh generation dentin bonding agent-ONE COAT 7.0.For nanoleakage depth evaluation, 36 teeth were divided into three groups of 12 teeth each, according to adhesive systems used. For each adhesive system, teeth were subdivided into three subgroups of four teeth each, according to storage period, 24 hours, 1 month, and 3 months before the examination. In each tooth, two cavities were prepared (buccal and lingual), each cavity was lined with different adhesive systems and restored using a nanohybrid composite. The restored teeth were then immersed in water bath at temperature 37^oC for intended period of time and then stored in 50% silver nitrate for 24 hours and photo developing solution for 8 hours. After this, the teeth were cut in buccolingual direction and subjected to scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis for nanoleakage depth analysis.

Results: Group II showed the highest nanoleakage at all three periods. At 24 hours, group III showed more leakage than group I (mean = 0.2869 > 0.2506). At 1 month storage period, there was no significant difference in the leakage. At 3 months storage period, group III showed less leakage than group I (mean = 0.5544 < 0.7313).
