title: Short-term assessment of leakage of Class V composite restorations placed in vivo.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two dentin bonding systems, one of which was also in combination with a self-curing resin, when applied in V-shaped circular cavities cut in anterior teeth crossing the cementum-enamel junction. Twenty-seven teeth scheduled for extraction for periodontal reasons were treated in vivo. The sample teeth were divided at random into three groups. Group 1 was treated with All Bond 2 (AB2) + Z-100 composite, group 2 with Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus (SMPP) + Z-100, and group 3 with AB2 in conjunction with Bisfil 2B as liner and Z-100. The in vivo restored teeth were extracted after 2-3 months of clinical service. They were then immersed in a dye solution for 24 h, sectioned, and scored for marginal leakage. Analysis of variance revealed no significant differences between the three groups both at cervical and incisal sites. The enamel sites were free from any leakage. Only two cervical sites of groups 1 and 2 and one of group 3 showed a score 1 for leakage. The results of the short-term clinical performance of the three systems were promising.
