Restorations of Class II Cavities Evaluated for Marginal Leakage When Restored with Composites or a Giomer Using Different Bonding Agents

CONCLUSION: The total-etch technique provided better marginal adaptation for the composites and giomer compared to the self-etch technique.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The demand for esthetic restorations continues to increase, and composite restorations are now considered the material of choice for Class II cavities. There are various concerns with composite restorations, one of them being good marginal adaptation to increase the life of the restoration. This study evaluated marginal leakage with the nanohybrid composite Filtek Z250 XT, fine hybrid composite SwissTEC, and a giomer when used with the total-etch technique and self-etch technique and reported satisfactory adaptation with the total-etch technique.PMID:37879054 | DOI:10.11607/prd.4866
