Evaluation of Double Layer Application Using a Universal Adhesive in the Quality of Cervical Lesions Restorations

Chile35 participantsStarted 2024-03-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of a double layer application of a universal adhesive system used as etch-and-rinse application mode in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), on the 6- and 12-months clinical performance. Materials \& Methods: 144 restorations were randomly placed in 36 subjects (16 male and 20 female) according to the following groups (n=36): ER1 (one layer of Scotchbond Universal Plus adhesive applied as etch-and-rinse mode); ER2 (double layer of Scotchbond Universal Plus adhesive applied as etch-and-rinse mode); SEE1 (one layer of Scotchbond Universal Plus adhesive applied as selective enamel etching); SEE2 (double layer of Scotchbond Universal Plus adhesive applied as selective enamel etching). All groups were light-cured for 10s/1,000 mW/cm2 only after final layer. A resin composite will be placed by applying three increments and each one will be light cured for 20s/1,000 mW/cm2. The restorations will be finished immediately with fine diamond burs and polishers. The restorations will be evaluated at baseline and after 6- and 12-months by using the FDI criteria. The following outcomes will be evaluated: retention, marginal staining, marginal adaptation, post-operative sensitivity and recurrence of caries. The differences among the groups will be calculated using Friedman repeated measures analysis of variance rank (α = 0.05).

Exclusion Criteria: * Driving difficulties that prevent adequate oral hygiene. * Periodontal disease. * Active caries lesions on the teeth included in the research. * Parafunctional habits. * Active staples of removable partial dentures on the teeth included in the research and that these are not pillars of prostheses.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
