Effect of dual cure composite as dentin substitute on the marginal integrity of Class II open-sandwich restorations.
Operative Dentistry 2010 March
This study compared the marginal adaptation of Class II open-sandwich restorations with an RMGIC versus a dual-cure composite as dentin substitute. Class II cavities were prepared on 50 extracted human third molars. The teeth were randomly assigned to two groups of 25 teeth to compare one dual cure composite (Multicore Flow) with one resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (Fuji II LC) in open-sandwich restorations covered with a light cure composite. The teeth were thermomechanically cycled (2000 cycles, 5 degrees C to 55 degrees C; 100,000 cycles, 50 N/cm2). The specimens were then sealed with a 1 mm window around the cervical margin interface. Samples were immersed in a 50% w/v ammoniacal silver nitrate solution for two hours and exposed to a photodeveloping solution for six hours. The specimens were sectioned longitudinally and silver penetration was directly measured using a light microscope. The results were expressed as a score ranging from 0 to 3. The data were analyzed with a non-parametric Kruskall and Wallis test. The degree of leakage significantly increased with Multicore Flow (median = 2) compared to Fuji II LC (median = 1). The resin-modified glassionomer cements remain the best intermediate materials when open-sandwich restorations are indicated. A comparison of the degradation of these materials over time remains a topic to be investigated by future studies.
