Deproteinization as a Coadjuvant in Dentin Adhesion of Noncarious Cervical Lesions

The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the failure rates of composite restorations of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) performed with or without the pre-treatment with 10% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on etched dentin. A randomized controlled split-mouth and double blind clinical trial will be carried out. Patients with at least two NCCL will be selected. Each patient will be received at least one pair of composite restorations (Filtek Z350/3M ESPE), bonded either with 2 techniques: control (acid etching + placebo solution for 60 seconds + Adper Single Bond 2/3M ESPE) or experimental (acid etching + 10% NaOCl for 60 seconds + Adper Single Bond 2). A calibrated examiner will be evaluated the restorations (baseline, 6-, 12-, 24- and 36-month) using the FDI criteria. The primary outcome is retention of the restoration.
