Evaluation of Two Resin Composites and Two Adhesives for a Novel Restorative Protocol to Treat Cervical Lesions

Overview

Non-carious cervical lesion is frequently associated with gingival recession, resulting in a combined lesion that has a different treatment prognosis when the two lesions appear alone. The literature presents few studies that propose a multidisciplinary approach (restorative and root coverage surgery procedures) to optimize the treatment of this combined lesion. The previously proposed approaches and materials have limitations and an optimal clinical protocol has not been established yet. Thus the aim of this study is to evaluate a novel multidisciplinary protocol with two resin composites and two different adhesive systems through a randomized clinical trial and laboratory studies. 120 combined lesions will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups: NP + TE (n = 30) - Partial restoration of cervical lesions with nanofilled composite and total-etch adhesive system and periodontal surgery for root coverage, NP + UA (n = 30) - partial restoration of cervical lesions with nanofilled composite and self-etching adhesive system and periodontal surgery for root coverage, MH + TE (n = 30) - partial restoration of cervical lesions with microhybrid composite and total-etch adhesive system and periodontal surgery for root coverage, MH + UA (n = 30) - partial restoration of cervical lesions with microhybrid composite and self-etching adhesive system and periodontal surgery for root coverage. Restorations will be assessed using the USPHS criteria after one week, six months and twelve months.
