Abstract
Purpose
To investigate the effect of pre-cured and co-cured flowable composite liner on fracture strength and microleakage of primary anterior teeth with extended composite resin restorations.
Methods
In the current in vitro experimental study, the crowns of 54 extracted primary canine teeth were cut 1 mm above the CEJ, and a pulpectomy procedure was performed. The samples were randomly divided into three groups to restore the coronal part up to 4 mm above the CEJ. In group 1, the samples were built up with Filtek Z250 packable composite resin. In group 2 (pre-cure), first, 1 mm of Filtek Z350 XT flowable liner was applied to the sample, and after curing, the restoration process continued using packable composite resin. In group 3 (co-cure), the flowable composite liner was cured while the first layer of packable composite resin was applied; then, the same restorative procedure similar to the other groups was followed. The samples’ cross-sectional area in the fracture strength test was calculated by AutoCAD software. Subsequently, the samples were subjected to a force in a universal testing machine. The samples related to the microleakage experiment were cut vertically, and then, the dye penetration percentage (10% methylene blue) was measured under a stereomicroscope. ANOVA was used to analyze the data.
Results
Mean fracture strength in group 2 was significantly higher than in group 1 (P = 0.016). The microleakage mean in group 3 was significantly lower than in groups 1 (P = 0.000) and 2 (P = 0.026).
Conclusion
The flowable composite liner and its relevant separate curing increased the fracture strength of composite resin restorations. However, less microleakage was reported in the group where the liner was applied as a co-cure.
