Two-year clinical trial of a universal adhesive in total-etch and self-etch mode in non-carious cervical lesions.

ABSTRACT: To compare the clinical performance of Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive used in self- and total-etch modes and two-bottle Scotchbond™ Multi-purpose Adhesive in total-etch mode for Class 5 non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs).37 adults were recruited with 3 or 6 NCCLs (>1.5mm deep). Teeth were isolated, and a short cervical bevel was prepared. Teeth were restored randomly with Scotchbond Universal total-etch, Scotchbond Universal self-etch or Scotchbond Multi-purpose followed with a composite resin. Restorations were evaluated at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months for marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, and sensitivity to cold using modified USPHS Criteria. Patients and evaluators were blinded. Logistic and linear regression models using a generalized estimating equation were applied to evaluate the effects of time and adhesive material on clinical assessment outcomes over the 24 month follow-up period. Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the retention between adhesive materials.Clinical performance of all adhesive materials deteriorated over time for marginal adaptation, and discoloration (p<0.0001). Both Scotchbond Universal self-etch and Scotchbond Multi-purpose materials were more than three times as likely to contribute to less satisfying performance in marginal discoloration over time than Scotchbond Universal total-etch. The retention rates up to 24 months were 87.6%, 94.9% and 100% for Scotchbond Multi-purpose and Scotchbond Universal self-etch and total-etch, respectively.Scotchbond Universal in self- and total- etch modes performed similar to or better than Scotchbond Multipurpose, respectively.24 month evaluation of a universal adhesive indicates acceptable clinical performance, particularly in a total-etch mode.
