Background and study aims
In Pediatric Dentistry there is a growing interest in adhesive systems that allow consistent adhesion to enamel and dentin with a shorter working time possible. Self-etch adhesive systems are potential and particularly interesting for clinical practice with children as they can decrease the time of restorative protocol and/or the complexity of the technical steps.
During long, restorative treatments recommended for temporary and permanent teeth were similar because it was thought there were no significant differences both in composition and microstructure of the tissues that form these two types of teeth. However, nowadays these divergences are properly described in the literature and include several differences such as the amount of intertubular dentin, density of tubules and amount of microtubules transverse to dentinal tubules; primary dentin, according to some authors, also features a lower concentration of phosphate and calcium ions. All these facts might hinder or individualize the adhesion process in deciduous dentin and enamel, making it crucial to study and develop specific adhesive restorative strategies equally effective for temporary dentition.
Although all the materials in study are already legally approved for clinical use, does not exist, so far, any publications in indexed journal that embraces an assessment regarding prospective clinic efficacy of different types of adhesives in temporary teeth. Following a line of investigation already initiated that includes in vitro studies, it seems pertinent to analyse, compare and quantify the results obtained with an in vivo study.
Who can participate?
Patients aged 4-8 years with molar lesions
What does the study involve?
Our research group performed a prospective randomized clinical trial to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of three adhesive systems: a self-etch of two steps with selective enamel etching, a self-etch of one step, and an etch-and-rinse system in deciduous dentition at 6, and 12 months.
Participants had standard treatment of tooth lesions. Restoration of the tooth was carried out using one of three different adhesives assigned randomly to participants
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The procedures allows that the existing caries injury is treated with materials that are already legally approved for clinical use, avoiding biological, functional and structural complications that could advise from the non-treatment. There is no increased risk with this clinical procedure since the restorative protocol used is the conventionally recommended and the teeth to be covered need treatment effectively

Intervention | Our research group performed a prospective randomized clinical trial to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of three adhesive systems: a self-etch of two steps with selective enamel etching, a self-etch of one step, and an etch-and-rinse system in deciduous dentition at 6, and 12 months. Carious lesions removal was ensured with drilling and dentin spoon excavators. The restorative procedures were performed by one single operator. After application of the respective randomly assigned adhesive system under manufacturer's directions a composite resin (Ceram.X® Universal; A3) was placed incrementally and light-cured using a LED-curing unit (S.P.E.C.®3) Experimental groups: 1. Clearfil™ S3 Bond : Apply adhesive on surface and scrub it in a rubbing motion for 10 s; gentle air-blow for 5 s; light-cure for 10 s 2. Clearfil™ SE Protect Bond: Apply primer and leave undisturbed for 20 s; gentle air-blow for 5 s; apply bonding agente for 10 s; gentle air-blow for 5 s; light-cure for 10 s 3. Prime&Bond® XP: Apply etchant for 15 s; rinse for 15 s; air-dry for 5 s; apply adhesive on surface and wait 20 s; gentle air-blow for 5 s; light-cure for 20 s One single experienced and calibrated operator performed all restorative treatments. In all cases was made a prior polishing of the tooth with a prophylactic brush and water to remove plaque and salivary film remaining. Was then administered local anesthesia. Isolation with rubber-dam was done in all procedures. After cavity preparation a collaborator selected randomly the adhesive system (Prime&Bond active TM, ClearfilTM S3 Bond Plus and ClearfilTM SE Protect), which was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. The restorations were made with a light-cured nano hybrid composite resin (Ceram.X®) and with the support of a sectional matrix system (Palodent®Plus) and, applied according to the incremental technique and the manufacturer's indications. Finishing and polishing were made using diamond drills, cups and brushes (Enhance® and Ceram.X® gloss). All the restorations were recorded using digital photography and analyzed by two blinded calibrated evaluators (calibration model approved by the FDI – World Dental Federation) in two different moments: on the day of execution and after 6 months. The evaluation was based on aesthetic, functional and biological factors adapted to the specificity of this study. Randomisation was performed using a sealed envelope technique |
