 Ethanol-wet bonding Technique: Six-month Clinical Evaluation

Objective: Most of current dental adhesive systems show favorable immediate results in terms of retention and sealing of bonded interface. Despite immediate efficacy, failures in this interface can be observed after a short period of time. The high hydrophilic characteristic of these systems may explain in part such behavior. Therefore, the objective of this split-mouth / randomized study was to determine the clinical performance of adhesive restorations using the ethanol-wet-bonding technique prior to the application of a bonding agent and composite resin in non-carious class V cavities compared to a three-step etch-and-rinse and one-step self-etching techniques.

Method: : 90 restorations (30 for each group) were placed by one operator in 17 patients. No cavity preparation was performed. After 6 months the restorations were assessed by two previously trained examiners using the modified Ryge criteria for marginal adaptation/staining (kappa=0.81) and retention (kappa=1.00). The data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher’s exact tests, respectively.

Result: No significant differences among groups up to 6 months period were observed for marginal adaptation (p=0,204), marginal staining (p=0,382) and retention (p=1,000).

Conclusion: At the time elapsed, restoration placed using the ethanol-wet-bonding technique presented equal performance to the others adhesive techniques employed. However, longer evaluation periods are suggested.
