Clinical Relevance The results of this study suggest that immediate polishing procedures can result in improved short-term surface smoothness results but do not influence smoothness or sealing ability after one-year storage.

Clinical Relevance Extensive degradation of dentin hybrid layers formed with an acetone-based dentin adhesive beneath Class I resin composite restorations was evident after one year unless the teeth received an application of 2% chlorhexidine digluconate after etching.

Clinical Relevance Class V restorations are a common challenge to clinicians. These restorations involve problems, including isolation, adhesion, insertion technique, finishing and polishing. In order to solve these problems, several techniques have been developed. This article describes a new technique for the restoration of Class V cavities, one that eliminates rubber dam isolation and avoids any contamination. If used properly, this technique also provides good cervical contour, reducing or eliminating finishing and polishing procedures.

Clinical Relevance The effect of oxalate desensitizer application after acid etching on the dentinal marginal sealing ability of resin composite restorations may be adhesive-specific.

Clinical Relevance When placing a Class II resin composite restoration, the use of sectional matrix systems and separation rings to obtain tight proximal contacts is recommended.

Clinical Relevance Fiber inserts incorporated at the gingival floor of Class II composite restorations resulted in a significant reduction of microleakage scores as compared to restorations made without inserts. This may lead to a reduced incidence of recurrent caries.

Clinical Relevance Even though marginal gap size was not shown to be a direct predictor for the extent of microleakage in resin composite restorations, both material and placement technique appear to be important determinants in microleakage and, thus, probably in clinical outcomes.

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.

Clinical Relevance Over a two–year observation period, ScotchBond Multi-Purpose was found to have significantly superior marginal adaptation compared to Adper Prompt. Restorations using retention forms showed a significantly higher retention rate in an experimental adhesive and significantly less marginal discoloration in all three adhesives.

Clinical Relevance The types of matrices assessed, metal or transparent, circumferential or sectional, straight or pre-contoured, were not able to adequately reconstruct all the characteristics of the proximal contact area of an intact tooth in Class II resin composite restorations.

Clinical Relevance The laser could be a promising alternative for minimally invasive occlusal resin composite cavity preparations, as its clinical performance was similar to bur-prepared composite restorations.
