title: Interfacial morphology of resin composite and shiny erosion lesions.
abstract: Ten shiny erosion lesions were divided horizontally, in vivo such that the gingival half was prepared and the incisal half remained unprepared. Both were etched simultaneously with 32% H3PO4 for 20 seconds, rinsed and restored using the All Bond wet technique and P50 composite. The teeth, which were extracted as part of a treatment plan, were sectioned vertically midway through the restorations. Polyvinyl siloxane impressions of the tooth/resin interface were taken and examined by SEM for the presence of gaps. The teeth were then demineralized and the fitting surfaces of the restorations were examined for resin penetration into the dentin. Results showed that there were no gaps present in any of the interfaces. The most proliferative and deep resin penetration occurred in the prepared/etched halves.
