  Purpose

During restorative procedures, different isolation methods of the operative field can be used to promote moisture control and retraction of the gingival tissues. The aim of the present clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of two isolation techniques on the clinical performance of Class V restorations, as well on the periodontal conditions of restored sites. Patients presenting at least two noncarious cervical lesions (NCLs) will be enrolled in this study. The NCLs will be randomized into the following groups: (1) isolation performed with rubber dam and gingival retraction clamp and (2) isolation provided with cotton rolls and gingival retraction cord. Both techniques will be used with a saliva suction device. All restorative procedures were performed using a self-etching adhesive system and a nanofilled composite resin according to the manufacturer's instructions. The clinical performance of restorations will be recorded in terms of fracture and retention of restoration, marginal adaptation, marginal staining, postoperative hypersensitivity, and preservation of tooth vitality at 1 week, 6 months, 12, 24 and 72 months after placement. The periodontal condition of restored sites will be evaluated based on the presence of supragingival plaque, gingival marginal bleeding, probing depth, and relative gingival recession.

Further study details as provided by Federal University of Pelotas:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Clinical performance of restorations [ Time Frame: diferences in restorations characteristics from baseline to 72 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The clinical performance of restorations is recorded in terms of fracture and retention of restoration, marginal adaptation, marginal staining, postoperative hypersensitivity, and preservation of tooth vitality, among other criteria proposed by the FDI guidelines for restorations'evaluation (Hickel et al., 2010).


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Periodontal condition of restored sites [ Time Frame: 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 months after restorations' placement ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The periodontal condition of restored sites is evaluated based on the presence of supragingival plaque, gingival marginal bleeding, probing depth, and relative gingival recession.


Enrollment: 30
Study Start Date: July 2009
Primary Completion Date: July 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Absolute isolation
Absolute isolation of the operatory field with rubber dam: Moisture control is provided by a rubber dam and a gingival retraction clamp placed in the cervical area of the tooth.
 Procedure: Absolute isolation with rubber dam
Rubber dam group: Moisture control was provided by a rubber dam and a gingival retraction clamp placed in the cervical area of the tooth.
Experimental: Relative isolation
Relative isolation of the operatory field with cotton rolls: Moisture control was provided using a labial retractor, cotton rolls and gingival retraction cord placed into the gingival sulcus
 Procedure: Relative isolation with cotton rolls
Cotton roll group: Moisture control was provided using a labial retractor, cotton rolls and gingival retraction cord placed into the gingival sulcus
