This in-vitro study evaluated the resistance of S-PRG-based-composites against erosive wear and their protective effect on enamel adjacent to restoration. Bovine-enamel-blocks were randomized into 12 groups (n=10/group), according to the factors material and type of wear (erosion-e or erosion+abrasion-a): S-PRG-based-composite-Beautifil II®(SPRGe/SPRGa); S-PRG-based bulk-fill-Beautifil Bulk Restorative®(SPRGBFe/SPRGBFa); composite-Filtek Z350 XT®(RCe/RCa); bulk-fill-composite-Filtek Bulk Fill®(BFe and BFa); glass-ionomer cement-EQUIA Forte®(GICe/GICa); resin-modified glass-ionomer cement-Riva®(RMGICe/RMGICa). Standardized cavities were prepared in specimens and restored. Initial profile was performed on the material and on the adjacent enamel at distances of 100/200/300/600 and 700μm. Specimens were immersed in 0.5%citric-acid (2min-6x/day-during 5days), and abrasive challenge was performed using a toothbrushing-machine (1min-after erosive challenge). Final profile was obtained following initial. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey-test (α<0.05). On erosion, the GICe and RMGICe groups presented greater loss of material compared to other groups; up to 300μm away from the restoration, GICe and SPRGBFe were able to promote less enamel loss than composite groups. For erosion+abrasion S-PRG-based groups showed intermediate material wear compared to GICs (higher wear) and composites (less wear); there was no difference of enamel wear adjacent to restorations among groups. It is concluded that S-PRG-based-composites are a good alternative for restorative treatment of erosive tooth wear.
Clinical Significance: S-PRG-based composite restorations are able to diminish surrounding enamel erosive wear, similarly to glass ionomer cement, with the advantage of being more resistant to erosive challenge. Therefore, this material is a potential option to restore advanced erosion lesions in patients with etiological factors still present.
