[Adpatation and marginal fit of thixotropic composites and syringe system composites. In vitro findings].
In a dye penetration test and a scanning electron microscopic evaluation MOD-restorations made of a thixotropic material (ZKP-A-5(2)) and of two syringe system composites (Concise-Capsule-Composite3, Compocap-S4) were investigated with respect to microleakage and marginal adaptation. These materials did not reveal better marginal micromorphology than a comparable two-paste composite system (Concise3); Compocap-S showed markedly less microleakage. The quality of marginal adaptation, however, was improved to 52% when a low viscosity sealant (ZKP-A-2(2), Concise Enamel Bond3) was applied before insertion of the restorative. A sealant pretreatment is therefore compulsory in thixotropic and syringe packed composites as well. The perfection reached with these composite brands is equal to that of adhesive restorations made of Concise or Adaptic5 [6,7]. Restorations performed with new, complete composite systems (Nimetic6, GC's Epolite 100/Epobond7) revealed moderate results when compared to standard materials like Concise or Adaptic [6,7].
