RESULTS Comparison of retention of class-V adhesive restorations as a measure to determine clinical bonding effectiveness of adhesives revealed that glass-ionomers most effectively and durably bond to tooth tissue .
Three-step etch- and -rinse adhesives and two-step self-etch adhesives showed a clinical ly reliable and predictably good clinical performance .
The clinical effectiveness of two-step etch- and -rinse adhesives was less favourable , while an inefficient clinical performance was noted for the one-step self-etch adhesives .
SIGNIFICANCE Although there is a tendency towards adhesives with simplified application procedures , simplification so far appears to induce loss of effectiveness .
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper was to review current literature on the clinical effectiveness of contemporary adhesives when used to restore cervical non-carious class-V lesions .
Restoration retention in function of time was recorded in order to find out if adhesives with a simplified application procedure are as clinical ly effective as conventional three-step adhesives .
Two-year clinical comparison of a microfilled and a hybrid resin-based composite in non-carious Class V lesions.
The purpose of this double-blind clinical trial was to compare the retention rate in noncarious Class V lesions of two resin-based composite restorative material s with contrasting stiffness . Isolation with retraction cord , pressed paper triangles , and cotton rolls was used to closely mimic the procedures generally used in a practice setting . Thirty pairs of restorations were placed , one using Silux Plus and one using Z100 . The assignment of material was r and omized , and the subjects were unaware of the material used . All restorations were placed with a fourth-generation adhesive liner , Scotchbond Multi- Purpose . Evaluations were performed at baseline , 6 , 12 , 18 , and 24 months by two independent examiners using criteria developed by Cvar and Ryge in a forced consensus model . Examiners were unaware of the restoration 's group identity . No difference between the retention rates for the two groups was found after 24 months , bringing into question the role that a material 's stiffness plays in determining retention in a noncarious Class V lesion
