Effect of an Additional Hydrophobic Adhesive Layer Application on the Class V Composite Restorations

In this study, Clearfil S3 Bond Plus (one-step self-etch adhesive), G-Premio Bond (Universal adhesive), Heliobond (additional hydrophobic adhesive), and Clearfil Majesty ES-2 (nano-hybrid composite) materials will be used. After performing selective etching with Scotchbond Universal Etchant, four different adhesive procedures will be applied according to manufacturers' instructions to the non-carious cervical lesions selected by the randomized method. In the first group Clearfil S3 Bond Plus, in the second group Clearfil S3 Bond Plus and additional hydrophobic adhesive layer (Heliobond), in the third group G-Premio Bond, in the fourth group, G-Premio Bond and additional hydrophobic adhesive layer (Heliobond) will be applied to the NCCL lesions. Restorations will be accomplished by using Clearfil Majesty ES-2 composite material. Restorations will be evaluated according to FDI criteria. Esthetic properties will be evaluated with surface luster, marginal staining, color match and translucency, esthetic anatomical form parameters. Functional properties will be evaluated with fracture and retention, and marginal adaptation parameters. Biological properties will be evaluated with post-operative sensitivity, periodontal response, and secondary caries parameters. Scores 1, 2, and 3 represent clinically acceptable restorations, and scores 4 and 5 represent clinically unacceptable restorations.
