Long-term use of dentine adhesive as an interfacial sealer under Class II amalgam restorations.
An in vitro study was carried out to evaluate the long-term sealing properties of a light-cured dentine adhesive in Class II amalgam restorations. The restorations were subjected to repeated vertical occlusal loads and a number of thermocycling procedures. The results demonstrated significant advantages of using a dentine adhesive as an interfacial sealer in order to reduce microleakage, compared to a conventional Copal varnish.
