Clinical evaluation of an 'all-in-one' bonding system to non-carious cervical lesions - Results at one year

Abstract

Background: The recent trend in using dentine adhesives is to simplify the number of steps required for bonding. The simplest are now the so-called 'all-in-one' products which combine the etching, priming and bonding steps into a single application. However, few clinical trials have been reported using this type of material. The current study reports the one-year results of a clinical trial with One-Up Bond F and Palfique Estilite resin composite. Methods: Fifty-one non-undercut non-carious cervical lesions were restored with One-Up Bond F and Palfique Estilite in 15 patients (mean age 57.5 years). Restorations were evaluated at six months and one year for presence or absence and for marginal staining using standardized colour photographs for comparison. Results: At one year, 42 restorations could be evaluated and all were intact. Slight marginal staining was observed around three restorations but was considered to be of no clinical significance. Conclusions: One-Up Bond F with Palfique Estelite shows good promise for the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions.
