An Effective Method for Spreading Flowable Composites in Resin-based Restorations
Authors: Abedian B. , Millstein P. 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARY
Cavity lining with flowable composites has been suggested for better marginal adaptation and a reduction in interfacial stress and post-operative sensitivity. The following in vitro study compares the spreading of flowable composite that lines the inner wall of a test cavity using an explorer and a specially designed smooth, oscillating, off-center rotating bur spun at 300 to 600 rpm. Two commercial flowable materials were used in this study. Results: With use of the rotating bur, a more consistent, uniform cavity lining was achieved. This was not possible using the dental explorer. Conclusion: The specially designed rotating bur provides an effective way for clinicians to form a uniform cavity lining.
Marginal Permeability of Self-etch and Total-etch Adhesive Systems
Authors: Owens B. M. , Johnson W. W. , Harris E. F. 
Published: January 2008

Clinical Relevance
Decreased leakage was associated with Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (total etch) and iBond (self-etch) systems in Class V resin composite restorations. All adhesive systems performed best when bonded to enamel compared to dentin surface anatomy. Clinicians should be aware that strict adherence to manufacturer instructions, when using these materials, is of primary importance.

Influence of Nd:YAG Laser Irradiation on an Adhesive Restorative Procedure
Authors: Franke M. , Taylor A. W. , Lago A. , Fredel M. C. 
Published: January 2008

Ceramic restorations often require intraoral adjustment and the use of a polishing kit is mandatory to re-establish surface smoothness. When the ceramic surface was ground and polished, the 3 types of ceramic restorations reacted differently to each tested polishing kit. Some of the polished surfaces obtained were at least equivalent to glaze-fired ceramic surfaces.

Direct Pulp Capping with a Dentin Bonding System in Human Teeth: A Clinical and Histological Evaluation
Authors: Silva G. A. B. , Lanza L. D. , Lopes-Júnior N. , Moreira A. , Alves J. B. 
Published: January 2008

SUMMARY
This study evaluated the pulpal response in human dental pulp to direct pulp capping with the Single Bond Adhesive System (SBAS) after 10% or 37% phosphoric acid etching and after capping with Calcium Hydroxide (CH). The degree of bleeding and hemostasis conditions was considered during the adhesive technique. The pulps of 78 sound premolars were capped with SBAS after 37% phosphoric acid etching (Group I) or 10% phosphoric acid etching (Group II) and CH (Group III-control). The cavities were restored with a resin composite (Charisma). After 1, 3, 7 and 30 days, the teeth were extracted and processed for light microscopical examination (H/E, AgNOR silver stain and Brown-Brenn). The patients were followed for postoperative symptomatology evaluation. Clinical results showed the possibility of hemostasis with saline solution only. There was no statistical difference between bleeding generated by 10% and 37% acid solutions. In some cases, contact of the pulp tissue with SASB started the bleeding process, thus damaging the adhesive technique. The histological response was similar in Groups I and II, without signs of cellular differentiation and dentin neoformation up to 30 days. Bacteria were not observed in any specimens. In the control group (CH) at day 7, the pulps exhibited cells with high synthetic activity (Ag-NOR-positive) underneath the area of coagulation necrosis. Dentin bridging was observed at the thirtieth day. The postoperative period was asymptomatic for all groups. In conclusion, SBAS should be avoided for vital pulp therapy, while CH remains the capping agent of choice for mechanically exposed human dental pulp.
