Effect of cavity depth and application technique on marginal adaptation of resins in dentin cavities. 1986

E K Hansen

Department of Technology, Royal Dental College, Copenhagen, Denmark.

The wall-to-wall polymerization contraction of two restorative resins was investigated in butt-joint dentin cavities prepared in extracted human teeth. The cavity diameter was 4 mm, and the cavity depth ranged between 0.5 and 3.0 mm. The width of the maximum marginal contraction gap was measured, using a light microscope, approximately 0.1 mm below the original free surfaces of the fillings. It was found that increasing the cavity depth from 0.5 to 3.0 mm did not influence the marginal contraction gap close to the free surfaces of the fillings. It was also found that a two-phase application technique, where the surface of the first layer was placed parallel to the free surface of the cavity, did not reduce the marginal contraction gap, while a two-phase technique with oblique layers resulted in approximately a 25% reduction.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D001840	Dental Bonding	An adhesion procedure for orthodontic attachments, such as plastic DENTAL CROWNS. This process usually includes the application of an adhesive material (DENTAL CEMENTS) and letting it harden in-place by light or chemical curing.

D002627	Chemistry, Physical	The study of CHEMICAL PHENOMENA and processes in terms of the underlying PHYSICAL PHENOMENA and processes.	Physical Chemistry,Chemistries, Physical,Physical Chemistries
D003188	Composite Resins	Synthetic resins, containing an inert filler, that are widely used in dentistry.	Composite Resin,Resin, Composite,Resins, Composite
D003737	Dental Cavity Preparation	An operation in which carious material is removed from teeth and biomechanically correct forms are established in the teeth to receive and retain restorations. A constant requirement is provision for prevention of failure of the restoration through recurrence of decay or inadequate resistance to applied stresses.
