Influence of the internal conditioning of indirect restorations of resin composite in relation to microleakage using LEDs and QTH units.
The current study evaluated in-vitro microleakage of indirect composite inlays fixed with flowable composite and resinous cement and cured by LEDs and QTH units, thus modifying the internal conditioning of the inlays. Thirty-two non-carious teeth were selected and 64 cavity preparations were performed in both enamel and cementum. These teeth were divided into four groups: I--Elipar FreeLight appliance and Filtek Flowable composite; II--Ultralux appliance and Filtek Flowable composite; III--Elipar FreeLight appliance and RelyX cement and IV--Ultralux appliance and RelyX cement. The inlays were internally sandblasted with aluminum oxide, etched with 37% phosphoric acid, washed and silanized. The dental etching was carried out with 37% phosphoric acid for 15 seconds in dentin and 30 seconds in enamel. After being washed and dried, Single Bond dentinal adhesive was then applied, and the inlays were fixed with their respective luting agents, cured in close contact with their surfaces for 60 seconds, thermocycled and immersed in 0.5% basic fuchsine solution. The teeth were then washed and sectioned through the center of the restoration in order for the microleakage readings to be performed using the Image Tool Software. Then, ANOVA and Tukey's statistical tests were applied. In enamel, there was no significant difference for both groups with regard to microleakage; in cementum, the significant difference was 5% (p > 0.005). In agreement with the results, the inlays can be fixed with RelyX and Filtek Flowable resins.
