[Clinical evaluation about restoration for cervical wedge-shaped defects of teeth using composite and dentin bonding]
Abstract:
100 cervical wedge-shaped defects of teeth with normal pulp from 19 patients were restored with light cure composite (durafill). For each patient, teeth of one side were experimental group, the other side were the control group, and left or right side was alternatively changed randomly. For the experimental group, the restorations of 49 teeth were adhered by Gluma dentin bonding. For the control group, the restorations of 51 teeth were adhered by Durafill bonding. The results of 2 years follow-up study with modified USPHS evaluation criterion indicate that curative effects, including retention and marginal sealing in the experimental group are much better than those in the control group.
