Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the early clinical performance of a radio-opaque universal adhesive, versus a conventional universal adhesive over 6 months in carious cervical lesions.
Materials and methods: Thirty participants with carious cervical lesions were randomly divided into two groups (n=15): Group (1) received Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive, while Group (2) received Single Bond™ Universal Adhesive. Both materials were applied in etch-and rinse mode and following the manufacturers’ instructions. Restorations were assessed at baseline and after 6 months using the modified USPHS criteria.
Results: After 6 months, all restorations in Group (1) scored alpha, while in group (2), one restoration scored charlie after 6 months for postoperative hypersensitivity. There was no statistically significant difference between both materials (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: Both adhesives showed comparable clinical performance in cervical restorations after 6-months.
Clinical Relevance: Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive can provide clinically successful performance, comparable to Single bond Universal Adhesive, when used in cervical restorations.
