Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the effect of application a new-generation bulk-fill flowable composite resin as an intermediate material between composite resin and dental substrates on micro-leakage in Class V composite restorations.

Materials and methods: A total of 144 Class V cavities were prepared in 72 human molars. Specimens were then randomly distributed among three groups according to adhesive system applied (Group 1: Clearfil SE Bond; Group 2: Adper Easy One; Group 3: Adhesive 200T), and each group was divided into three subgroups according to liner material used (Group A: No liner-control group; Group B: Aelite Flo LV, low viscosity microhybrid composite; Group C: Smart dentin replacement). All cavities were restored using resin composite (Aelite LS, low shrinkage posterior composite). Specimens were stained with 0.5% basic fuchsin and evaluated dye penetration.

Results: There was no significant difference in dye penetration was found between the control and the experimental groups.

Conclusions: Micro-leakage is not affected by the application of either conventional or new-generation flowable composite resin as an intermediate material between composite resin and dental substrates.

Keywords: Adhesives; flowable composite resins; intermediate layers; microleakage.
