Introduction. The restoration of non-carious cervical lesions is specific,
mostly because of the location of their margins, especially the cervical
margin, which is determined in cement and/or dentine. This feature makes the
cervical margin more susceptible to micro-leakage, causing marginal
discoloration, postoperative sensitivity, development of the secondary caries
and loss of the restoration. Material and methods. One of the criteria for
inclusion of a patient in this study was the presence of at least two
non-carious cervical lesions to be restored with the minimum depth of 1mm,
independently of their location in the dental arch. A total of 60
restorations were placed in 30 patients, and every patient received both
tested materials (composite resins and compomer) on their non-carious
cervical lesions. The clinical evaluation of the therapeutic success was
performed six months and then one year after the day of the placement of
restorations using the modified-United States Public Health Service criteria.
The following was evaluated: retention, marginal integrity, marginal
discoloration, wear, postoperative sensitivity and secondary caries. Results.
A statistically significant high percent of restorations/teeth with
postoperative sensitivity was found in the group of resin composite
restorations after six months. At the end of the evaluation period, that is
after one year, there were no statistically significant differences between
materials for all evaluated criteria. Conclusion. The results of this study
show the identical quality of both examined materials one year after the
readjustment of non-carious cervical lesions.
