BONDING TO ENAMEL USING A UNIVERSAL ADHESIVE

Objective: This double-blind randomized clinical trial evaluates strategies for improving the bonding of universal adhesive to enamel in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) of a new universal multi-mode adhesive (Ambar Universal; FGM). Methods: A total of 134 restorations were randomly placed in 19 patients according to the following groups: SE - Self-etch; SEE - Selective etching; SE2X - Self-etch doble time; SE1+ - Self-etch additional layer. The resin composite Opallis (FGM) was placed incrementally. The restorations were evaluated after one week (baseline), 6 and 12 months, using the FDI and USPHS criteria. Statistical analyses were performed using appropriate tests (=0.05).
