3D optical profilometer analysis of the marginal gap of Class II restorations made with different materials for vital pulp therapy procedures.

摘要: We considered Class II dental cavities in critical tooth areas concerned with vital pulp therapy, and evaluated the marginal gap after treatment Biodentine Geristore, one composite either etching adhesive (V2) use of a self-etching system (iBond Universal). measured surface morphology at by optical profilometry, carried out analysis 3D data according to new effective definition gap. The defined quantity was assessed for statistical significance apparent differences. largest gaps appeared Geristore (first) (not significantly lower), whereas controls were both lower, lowest being two-step self-etched respect three-steps etched system, yet without significance. Obviously, there is still room improvement therapy restorative materials, as compared standard systems.
