The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal leakage of Class II amalgam restorations whose preparations were lined with a resin-based desensitizing agent, a self-etching adhesive system, and copal varnish.
Methods and Materials
Fifty-six freshly extracted human premolar teeth were divided into four groups. A Class II preparation was prepared with only a proximal box on the mesial and distal surfaces of each tooth. The cavities in one group were lined with a desensitizing agent (VivaSens™) and a second group with an adhesive (Clearfil S3 Bond™). A third group was lined with copal varnish (Copalite™) and a fourth group was used as the control without any cavity liner. Spherical high copper amalgam was hand-condensed into each preparation, specimens were thermocycled, stained, and sectioned. Microleakage was graded using a stereomicroscope. Microleakage scores were calculated and analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis and the Mann-Whitney tests (α=0.05).
Results
Less microleakage was indicated with the VivaSens™ liner when compared with the other groups (P<0. 05). Clearfil S3 Bond™ showed less microleakage than the control group (P<0.05), but the leakage with copal varnish and Clearfil S3 Bond™ was similar (P>0.05).
Conclusion
VivaSens™ reduced the microleakage of Class II high copper amalgam restorations significantly more than the Clearfil S3 Bond™ and copal varnish.
