Purpose:
Clinical evaluation of repairing old amalgam restorations using composite inlays cemented with two different bonding agents.
Materials And Methods:
Occluso-proximal Class II inlay cavities were prepared in 50 old defective amalgam restorations. Extra oral system (EOS) composite inlays were cemented with two different bonding agents (All-Bond 2 or Geristore). After final finishing and polishing of each restoration, evaluation was carried out at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months using US Public Health Service criteria. The data were collected and statistically analyzed using Chi-square test.
Results:
No significant difference was found between the two bonding materials at any time interval.
