A Randomised Controlled Trial of a Universal Bonding Agent at Three Years: Self Etch vs Total Etch
General dental practice is increasingly being recognised as the ideal situation for the conduct of clinical trials into the longevity of restorations. The aim of this study was to investigate the survival of 64 nanofilled resin composite (Filtek Supreme XTE) restorations placed principally in loadbearing cavities using a Universal dentine bonding
agent (Scotchbond Universal), in five UK dental practices by members of the UK-based practice-based research group, the PREP Panel. A split mouth design was used, comprising patients who required two restorations, with one of the restorations receiving a total etch approach using phosphoric acid and the other being placed using a self-etch
approach. The results indicated good performance of the restorations examined, with no difference, in terms of marginal characteristics, between the restorations which received total etching and those which did not.
