Abstract
Increasing requirements for the longevity of filling and marginal integration has influenced the development of new materials in restorative procedure on enamel and dentine. These requirements have contributed to the development of several generations of composite materials and dentine adhesives. Adhesion of the restorative material on the enamel is succesfully enhanced with the use of enamel adhesives, while bonding to dentine, because of its specific constitution and wetness of its surface, is not always acceptable and longlasting. The latest generation of dentine adhesives shows better bonding values, better sealing of the dentine surface and is simpler to handle than earlier generations of dentine adhesives. The aim of this study was to determine in 453 small medium and deep cavities the clinical existence of postrestorative sensitivity after the application of “Excite” one-bottle enamel-dentine adhesive under a composite resin filling one and three months after the application of the composite filling. After one month 21 teeth showed sensitivity of 1st, 2nd and 3th degree, and after three months only four teeth showed sensitivity of 1st and 2nd degree. This confirmed the fact that “Excite” enamel-dentine adhesive can successfully decrease the presence of postrestorative sensitivity.
