Two-year clinical performance of two one-step self-etching adhesives in the restoration of cervical lesions.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical performance of two different one-step self-etching adhesives (Hybrid Bond/Sun Medical, Xeno III/Dentsply) in adhesive cervical resin composite restorations. In accordance with a split-mouth study design, 50 patients (57.3+/-13.5) received at least one pair of restorations. In each of two comparable cervical cavities, either the adhesive systems Hybrid Bond or Xeno III was used with the resin composite Filtek Supreme (3M ESPE). After 6, 12 and 24 months, the restorations were scored according to the Ryge and California Dental Association criteria. After 2 years, the resulting scores (percent) of the Ryge evaluation for the groups Hybrid Bond/ Filtek Supreme and Xeno III/ Filtek Supreme were marginal integrity, Alpha (92/78), Bravo (8/2), Charlie (0/0) and Delta (0/10); anatomic form, Alpha (92/82), Bravo (8/8) and Charlie (0/10); secondary caries, Alpha (100/100) and Bravo (0/0); marginal discoloration, Alpha (80/84), Bravo (20/12), Charlie (0/0) and not available (0/4); color match, Oscar (39/47), Alpha (51/45), Bravo (10/4), Charlie (0/0) and not available (0/4); surface, Romeo (78/69), Sierra (22/22), Tango (0/0) and Victor (0/10); tooth vitality, Alpha (98/94), Bravo (2/6); and integrity of tooth, alpha 1 (96/96) and alpha 2 (4/4). After 2 years, all Hybrid Bond restorations were retained and showed clinically acceptable results, while five Xeno III restorations were lost in part or in toto. For marginal integrity, anatomic form and surface, significant differences (p<0.05) were found but did not prove statistically significant after Bonferroni adjustment.
