title: Effects of GLUMA and GLUMA/Scotchbond on in vivo marginal adaptation of a composite resin to dentin.
abstract: The effect of GLUMA alone or in combination with another dentin adhesive (Scotchbond) was tested in vivo. The light-cured composite restorative resin was applied by one- or two-step application techniques. After a one-month experimental period, the formation of gaps was measured from SEM photomicrographs. All fillings showed gaps along the dentin margins in the four restorative techniques tested. The smallest gaps were found when the GLUMA/Scotchbond bonding was followed by the two-step placement of the composite resin.
