Marginal adaptation of dental restorative materials is crucial for long-term clinical success.
Dentin adhesives play a vital role in achieving a seal between the restoration and tooth structure.
Understanding adhesive performance under varying cavity configurations is essential for optimizing clinical outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
To investigate the marginal adaptation of Silux restorative material using various dentin adhesives.
To evaluate the influence of cavity geometry, specifically cavosurface angle, on adhesive performance.
To compare the efficacy of different commercially available dentin adhesives.
Main Methods:
Dentin cavities of varying diameters (1.8–6.4 mm) and cavosurface angles (90°, 110°, 135°, 160°) were prepared in human teeth.
Eight different dentin adhesives (Clearfil, Creation 1150, GLUMA, NPG-GMA + PMDM, Palfique, Panavia, Scotchbond, Superbond) were tested with Silux.
Marginal gaps were measured immediately after polymerization and after 1 day of water immersion. Silux Enamel Bond served as the control.
Main Results:
No adhesive prevented marginal gap formation immediately after polymerization.
After 1 day of water immersion, only GLUMA and Superbond achieved gap-free fillings.
GLUMA, Superbond, and NPG-GMA + PMDM showed the best performance, while Clearfil and Creation 1150 were inferior to the control.
Increasing the cavosurface angle significantly improved the marginal adaptation for all tested adhesives.
Conclusions:
GLUMA and Superbond exhibit excellent marginal sealing capabilities for Silux restorations, especially after water exposure.
Cavosurface angle is a critical factor influencing the effectiveness of dentin adhesives, with wider angles improving performance.
The choice of dentin adhesive significantly impacts the marginal integrity of Silux restorations, necessitating careful selection based on clinical factors.
